  <title>508 #61: Embolden the punks</title>
  <description>508 is a show about Worcester. This week's panel features &lt;a href="http://www.radioball.net" rel="nofollow"&gt;Brendan Melican&lt;/a&gt; and Kevin Ksen.

The &lt;em&gt;Telegram &amp;amp; Gazette&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.worcestermagazine.com/content/view/3422/" rel="nofollow"&gt;continues to be in financial trouble&lt;/a&gt;; things &lt;a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2008/11/11/the-gray-lady-turns-pasty-white-is-the-financial-demise-of-the-times-at-hand/" rel="nofollow"&gt;look awful&lt;/a&gt; for their parent, the &lt;em&gt;New York Times&lt;/em&gt;. Nevertheless, they continue to bird-dog &lt;a href="http://telegram.com/article/20081113/NEWS/811130792/0/FRONTPAGE" rel="nofollow"&gt;local police misconduct&lt;/a&gt; and write about &lt;a href="http://telegram.com/article/20081114/NEWS/811140692/1101" rel="nofollow"&gt;downtown retail&lt;/a&gt;.

Some local college students &lt;a href="http://worcesterite.com/forums/general/2008/11/6/downtown-disappoints-students-tg-article" rel="nofollow"&gt;aren't happy with downtown Worcester&lt;/a&gt;.

Mike is going to DC next year to &lt;a href="http://www.pieandcoffee.org/category/100days/" rel="nofollow"&gt;work against torture&lt;/a&gt;, and local Catholic Workers were &lt;a href="http://www.pieandcoffee.org/2008/11/06/worcester-catholic-workers-get-community-service-for-antiwar-rosary-arrest/" rel="nofollow"&gt;sentenced to community service&lt;/a&gt; for praying the rosary.</description>
