Was Bill O’Reilly right?

In her letter to the editor Jean Pollock comments on Great Barrington's Main Street holiday decorations: "So much for the promises and big plans for Christmas lighting."

To the editor:

I must say that even the minimally effective solar lights that I put on the pear trees in GB two years ago so that the town would have some sort of Christmas-y look to it was better than what has been put up this year. Jeech!  It’s almost worse than nothing! So much for the promises and big plans for Christmas (whoops! — excuse me — I mean “holyday”!) lighting that were going to go up “after the Main Street reconstruction project was completed”!

Looks like Bill O’Reilly was right after all.
