Adam's New Tool

Every now and then - don’t ask me why - I go in search of Adam Bond’s web site.

Bond’s fabled site has become the stuff of legend. As disputed, elusive and questionable as Sasquatch sightings in the Hockomock swamp.

It's just difficult to understand how, in this century, a self-employed individual as obviously as fond of the spotlight and with as natural a gift of gab and YouTube personality as Mr. Bond, hasn’t managed to so much as pitch a pup tent along the information super highway by now.

Oh, to be sure – he’s got a mention here and a one-liner there on a couple of other lawyer-centric sites. But, let's face it, it's a whole big bunch of nothing considering the fact that Bond's been a deafening, one-man public relations cacophony, not to mention celebrated media darling these past six months.

Mr. Bond, according to his own PR, is a big-shot-Wall-Street-stock-juggling barrister with Supreme Court credentials - hailing from the hippest city on Earth - yet somehow he’s never quite been able to get beyond the “under construction” page of his very own digital universe.

And this vacuum between the disparity of what Adam supposedly is, and what we've actually seen, has been causing a lot of people, including your's truly to speculate as to what he could possibly be hiding.

Well folks, I’m pleased to announce, here on the old blogspot, that Adam Bond has, at last, shed his shroud of mystery. After banging the stones together long enough, he's finally discovered fire. And after checking out the site for myself, I’d like to reassure you all that the only thing Mr. Bond has been trying to hide all this time with his lack of a web address, is his own trademark goofiness. Yes, it’s true.

To learn all about the inner Adam (at least all that’s fit to print) follow the link to:

Highlights:

we are selective in the cases that we take, since we DO NOT believe that the purpose of the law is to shift the resonsibility from those at fault to those with money. If we believe in your case we will usually take it. If we do not believe in your case, we will try to find you the name of someone else who might have an interest.

Well, it’s obvious that Adam doesn’t ‘believe’ in many cases.

And, is that the royal “we”? I mean - it’s just Adam. Why try to sound like some sort of deep-pocket, pin-stripe John Grishom law firm? It’s not as if Adam actually employs a vast staff of personal underlings - unless you count the day shift down at the Honey Dew.

And how do you spend all day sipping out of a Styrofoam cup and still make a living practicing law, anyway?

Oh - and have you noticed that suddenly Adam has become an expert at

Gaming Law

Sure… ever since CasinoFacts president Rich Young gave him that painful public lesson in ‘comp rooms’….

And, apparently, Adam's the man to call when you need some

Contract Negotiations

Just be ready to rent some really big expensive tents at short notice...

...and promise to promote something no matter what...
...so that, eventually no one will ever know if you're telling the truth.

And I find it amusing, to say the least, that Adam trumps the expertise of both Pat Rogers and Steven Spataro by claiming to provide a service in something called

‘political engineering'

Is that what they're calling BS these days?

Can you build bridges with those engineering skills? Figure out how to make a campaign run? Mark out a blueprint for the future?

And engineers have to be good at math, Adam:

at one of the largest Town Meetings in New England's history, Middleborough citizens voted 2-1 in favor of accepting the intergovernmental agreement with the Town

2387 FOR and 1335 AGAINST doesn’t = 2 to 1

Go back to school!

Hey, here's a juicy part:

Negotiated the first Tribal/Municipal Compact for a casino to come to the Town of Middleborough,

...so there's going to be a few more Tribal/Municipal Compacts? Good thing we can call on you!

the first in Massachusetts;

Seriously, how do you sleep at night??

handled all press contacts during Casino negotiations,

Alice, Christine... how do you feel knowing you've been 'handled'?

as well as the political marketing of the casino concept;

oh... I thought you were an official elected by the public. My mistake.

participated in the logistical set up and execution of the largest Town Meeting ever held in Massachusetts;

Boy, if I were Roger Brunelle right now, I'd be really PO'd.

And good gracious - despite the fact that he's argued before the supreme court, he can't say enough about that proposed gosh darned casino:

This project required extensive relationship building and strategic thinking in relation to each of the Town's citizens, various Town Boards and Departments, the Wampanoag tribal leadership, the casino resort developers and backers, various counsel, the press from several states, government officials from abutting Towns, the State government, and various opposition groups. This was a complex project (which is ongoing), and, at least, the first stages are complete.

I’m not sure why Bond’s first class strategic thinking didn’t lead him to check into Glenn Marshall’s past. Or why his stellar relationship building skills still managed to leave Middleboro residents at each other’s throats and ruin it’s relationship with surrounding towns. And, as for ‘various opposition groups’ – well, it was none other than Adam Bond who decided to ‘expose’ and ‘sanction’ said opposition publicly for things written in e-mails and on an obscure internet forum.

Way to build relationships, Adam.

But of all the wonderful, amazing, incredible things Mr. Bond supposedly did regarding the casino, it wasn’t him, but Rich Young and the good folks at CasinoFacts who brought the League of Women Voters, the Citizens For Limited Taxation, and the Mass. Council on Compulsive Gambling to Middleboro to speak to anyone who cared enough to listen - organizations which have studied casinos and gambling for decades. Not months.

Unlike that razor sharp gaming expert and political engineer, Adam Bond.

But then, why bother? Adam already knows everything worth knowing – right?
