Joke Blog Finds Satire in East Providence Politics

A WordPress.com site called Everything Political in East Providence makes fun of local politicians and city administrators.

A new political blog fit for Comedy Central is making waves in East Providence. Using city council meetings and reports from local media outlets, the WordPress.com site called EP-Everything Political in East Providence publishes satirical posts that make fun of  business.

As of last week, one of the latest posts riffs on Tuesday's city council meeting, where councilor Katie Kleyla asked Director of Public Works Steve Coutu to help dispose empty paint cans.

"OMG a paint can! Steve Coutu save me!" reads the post.
