Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!

OK, The Accountant beat The Tree Warden for State Rep., that's a Good Thing.   And, on the State Senate side, as much as we all love to hate Beacon Hill and its inhabitants, who wants to wait the decade before somebody stops using "who is" in front of your State Senator's name?  If you need the State's attention, do you want to be represented by a freshmen Senator from the Minority Party, or The Boss -- Pragmatism wins!

But what happened to el Presidente ?  Is anybody better off than they were a few years ago?  My obvious bias would be to support a corporate restructuring guy over a "Community Activist" -- since (a) the Country obviously needs some restructuring and (b) who really likes "Community Activists"?.  I think its  time for the Grand Old Party to start reeling their right wing in a little ... lest it break off entirely!

And, does anybody feel they will be better represented by the left wing Professor from Oklahoma (even worse than a "wash ashore!") who scammed the system by lying about her heritage?    Didn't a couple of Boston Firemen try that a decade ago? Was anybody else amused by her rant about the Government needing to "do something"about the cost of higher education?  Perhaps they should crack-down on overpaid Professors !   Was it me, or did she seem incapable of answering any questions without repeating mouth loads of "sincere" rhetoric -- that had nothing to do with the question asked? 

Speaking as a guy who has taken several dogs, cats, rabbits, and  a guinea pig for their final car ride (and who watched both his parents die miserable deaths), I was surprised that voters weren't willing to allow terminally ill patients the same merciful treatment we allow our pets.  I would be willing to bet there were a lot of folks who were incapable of travelling to the polls yesterday who may have felt differently on the issue.  Well, I am sure somebody's guilt was eased by the fact that they were able to prolong an "existence" -- maybe they made themselves feel better?

But, then again, it looks like we'll have some medical marijuana to play with while we're all waiting to check out!


The voters have spoken.  And, as the old saying goes, "the only thing worse than Democracy, is Not Having Democracy!"

The Truth Maker was waiting for some responces to your latest philosophical words of wisdom, but non were posted.

WTF chuck has provided the commonwealth with another impediment to law enforcement that will cost each of in the end, some more concern, what is happening to our world of order.

With out a doubt we have treated our pets with more dignity when it is time for them to be in another place, but the solution presented in the one proposed did not meet that burdan, well at least for me.

I have faced death on three occassions and only through prayers and good doctors do I sit here to do battle with those whom like to break the present laws that govern how we enjoy life and the pursuit of happyness. I am speaking in regards to those whom violate MGL in order to use their will to govern and run our governments, especially at the local levels.

TGIF as another election comes to an end and the results favored those whom made the best efforts to be elected.

As far as our Represenative race goes one ran on ethics and issues`, while the other one ran on being part of the good old boy network [TOWNY} his words and being a strong Democrat supporter.

I will not speak to the Senate race, other then to say , it helps to get ones house in order before they cast stones on another.
