TALL STORIES

Lots of TALL stories this week.

I know this will come as a complete shock to you but it seems that Attorney Generalissimo (to quote Bill Maher) Alberto Gonzales lied about his not being involved in the politically based firings of the eight US attorneys.

This point was brought home clearly when Harry Reid, Arlen Spector , Nancy Pelosi and six of the eight former prosecutors sang " Liar Liar, Pants on Fire. Your nose is longer than a telephone wire" at a recent press conference concerning Gonzales, immediately after an ex-aide testified that Gonzo wasn't telling the truth.

The Gonz-meister, shown above consulting with a Republican strategist, at his own hastily called press conference, mis -read his Karl Rove-prepared statement as , "I am not a crock". He is currently preparing for retirement,by signing a book deal and has a guest shot on The George Lopez Show ready to go.

Also this past week, from Reuters, "the world's tallest man, whose search for a bride covered the world, ended up marrying a woman from his home town nearly half his age and more than two feet shorter, Chinese media reported on Wednesday. Bao Xishun, 56, a 7-ft, 9-inch herdsman listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest living man, married a 29-year-old saleswoman, the Beijing News said. Both come from Chifeng in Inner Mongolia.It was the first wedding for Bao and his bride, Xia Shujuan, a mere 1.68 metres (5 ft 6 inches) tall.
"E-Halmony did the best they could", said Bao, "what with being from Inner Mongolia and the height thingie".

And finally....according to "Dotmusic", Michael Jackson, the King of Pop and a top Bush nominee to be the next Attorney General , is in discussions about creating a 50-foot robotic replica of himself to roam the Las Vegas desert, according to reports. It has now been claimed that his plans include an elaborate show in Vegas, which would feature the giant Jacko ("Giant Jacko"...their words, so help me, not mine) striding around the desert, firing laser beams. If built, the metal monster would apparently be visible to aircraft as they come in to land in the casino capital. "

Also being built are five 18 foot tall smaller robots who will be invited to stay over at the new Giant Robot Kids Ranch . The robot, which is programmed to say "Danger , Will Robinson, Danger. Out of Anal lubricant" is too embarrassed to say anything else.

Think you're having a bad day......

These were the front page stories in The Boston Globe today:
1,Fidelity to end employee pension plan
2.Transit and Roads face huge shortfall
3.Britain,Iran row heats up
4.Shi'ites kill dozens of Sunnis in revenge rampage
5. Breach of data at TJX is called the biggest ever
6. Schools running out of funds to upgrade computers.

But there's some bad news too, especially if your name is Lawrence Roach, 48, of Clearwater, Flori-duh. Seems Lawrence's former wife, Julia, had a gender change. She is now a man and her...his name is now 'Julio'.
However, the fact that she changed genders does not free her ex-husband from his alimony payments which were finalized in 2004.

His lawyers argued that since it is illegal in Flori-duh for a man to marry a man, the settlement is null and void. This makes sense to me, but I'm not well trained in the law, like the judge. The lawyers promised it'd be a slam-dunk...like the Iraq War, but alas this was not to be! The judge disagreed with this argument and Larry will continue paying the newly- formed 'Julio' alimony. I have a feeling that Lar won't be meeting Julio "down by the schoolyard" anytime soon, except to kick him in his brand new balls.

My rather sarcastic and quite humorous friend Steve Klotz (http://www.steveklotz.com/blog) always says to me "Why can't you be a man.....like your wife" when I'm complaining about being bossed around by my woman , an event that happens rarely, say about 99.9% of the time, ...................a lower percentage than Klotz's wife bosses him around, I might add.
Obviously Steve has been in touch with 'Julio' too...but I think Julio missed the sarcasm. I would think that this end result should have been re-considered as "irreconcilable differences" as in, "When I married her, er, him, he had a vagina....don't vagina's count for anything."

Judge Richard Hertz, nominated by former Flori-DUH Representative Mark Foley, simply answered, "And your point is......"

I'm sorry...so sorry

Yesterday was a day of apologies. In Maryland, according to the AP, state lawmakers approved an apology for the state's role in the slave trade expressing "profound regret" that it once "trafficked (sic) in human flesh". They must have been in a Colonial mood because they used the old word "trafficked". They made the mistake of literally writing it out like that too... and their S's wound up looking like "F's ......and today they apologized for actually apologizing yesterday for the "Flave" trade.

Following Maryland's lead, Egypt apologized for enslaving the Jews in 4200 BC and added, in a conciliatory tone, "but they built one hell of a pyramid".

They then sued various matzoh manufacturers saying, "We deserve a share of the profits for the last 4,000 years. Had we given them time to leave, the bread would have risen. We gave them one day, the bread didn't rise and basically that means we share in the invention of matzoh." The law firm of Achmed, Ali and Levine is handling the case.

Another apology came from Eric, last descendant of Proctodotus,King of the Visigoths ( 423-419 BC), for enslaving the ancient Croats and using them for paving. Eric, an investment banker working in Des Moines, said, "What exactly is a Croat?"


In Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe offered his clearest apology yet, again according to AP, to women who suffered in Japan's WW2 military brothels. As many as 200,000 women of Korean and Chinese extraction were forced to work in these brothels to satisfy the needs of Japanese soldiers during the war.


The official government excuse has been ," This is the land of the Rising Sun' and during the war we needed to help our own 'Rising Sons', so to speak." In conclusion of this latest apology for slavery, Mr. Abe said,"Shit happens. Wal is herr".

His statement is coming a bit late as the war was over 62 years ago. The Junior League, champion of etiquette, said it is far too late to accept an apology and that Japan should have hand written notes to each sex slave in 1946, at the latest 1947.

Philly Phavorites

About three weeks ago , a friend , with a layover at Philadelphia Airport (probably flying on USeless Air, the layover was six days, not one hour, as there was a one inch snow in Copenhagen) brought me a dozen Philly soft pretzels. Manna from heaven...and while one can order them off the web, it ain't the same as somebody bringing them to you. Being from Philly, my eyes widened and I immediately ate one, about one pound of dough, after putting a line of French's yellow mustard over the entire thing. It was delicious, though missing one basic taste element, bus fumes

. If you buy one on Market Street, the SEPTA bus fumes can make a taste difference. I'm sure jet fumes would be just as tasty, but alas , the windows are always closed in the terminal. The Philly soft pretzel has exactly the right amount of dough and is baked perfectly. Soft pretzels in Boston and New York are too thick, too doughy , too big and the crust isn't crispy enough.

It is one of God's great creations and was given to man as consolation for giving us The 1950's era Phillies.



As is the Philly steak sandwich. Yeah, yeah, you can go to a restaurant anywhere these days and get a "Philly steak", but trust me , they aren't the same. My favorite "steak sandwich description" was in Virginia. The menu read , "Thin slices of fillet sauteed onions and served on a long roll". If you see the words "fillet" and "sauteed" near a Philly steak sandwich item, fuhgeddabout it. Move on. If you see someone eating it and saying "This heah steak samwich is delicious", kill them.


Order something else , ethnic, perhaps Jewish, instead, "Jewish Corned Beef on a hard roll with lettuce and butter" ( a sign I actually saw in upstate PA once).


There are two reasons why steak sandwiches in Philly taste better:
1. Its the rolls and 2. "The Altered Steaks theory"... Remember the movie "Altered States".....you're actually related to the very first human...you have to be...and you can genetically get yourself back there. Same with cheese steaks. All Philly steaks are related to all those that came before on the same grill...and that grill has cooked nothing but cheese steaks since 1924. You're actually ingesting a molecule of the original one baked on that grill.



A bit later I shall extol on that other Philly phavorite, Tastykakes....and perhaps essay on hoagies as well.....order a "sub" in Philly, they'll send you to the Navy Yard.

"Two Balls Rising"...whats new at The Grand Canyon

You've probably wondered why I never became an astronaut......a parajumper..... a house painter.....or a lightbulb changer for radio antenna!

I hate unenclosed heights. My testicles begin to recede into my abdomen at the thought. So , when I was in Arizona earlier this week, just looking at the TV as they showed the grand opening of the new U-shaped skywalk at the Grand Canyon..... the one which sticks out over the canyon...... the one with the glass floor which gives you a view to the bottom of the canyon.......... that canyon floor being 4000 feet below. ......my nuts receded so far up, they thought I had a brain tumor!

"Check your testicles as you enter, take an ID tag and when you come off the skywalk, be sure you match the tag number to the the right set of nuts because many testicles look alike.", the sign says. They learned that from the baggage carousel at the airport. There's about 8 white guys, I hear, walking around this week with brown nuts as they were totally disoriented after leaving the skywalk.

"These aren't mine", one, a Mr. Meckler , said. "Please keep them" , said his wife.

I think Buzz Aldrin made the first ceremonial walk on the skywalk.......and was bright green when he walked off.

What in hell is holding this thing up? Super Glue? I mean we're the country that built the levees in New Orleans. I just about puked when I went to the Canyon a few years ago and stood on the edge (kind of) and "tried" to look down. I stood there long enough to see a swarm of mosquitoes flying halfway down the canyon.....turns out they were helicopters!

Many people see the skywalk as a sacrilege to a beautiful natural place.Of course it is. Our idea of a sacred place is how much profit we can glean from it...... "Get your Battle of Gettysburg T-shirts heah" is the real battle cry.

Many are concerned that the ancient gods of the Native Americans may be angered. Turns out they couldn't care less. I asked the Native American God of Heights, Two Balls Rising, what he thought and he said, "Put out the incense, damnit, I'm already sick in the stomach just from watching them build it".

I asked him how they name Indian children. He said they are named after an outstanding and obvious quality.

I hope you enjoyed today's blog. Sincerely
One Jew Puking

March Madness

Mirror, Mirror On the Wall
Who's the dumbest shit of all?

I wonder what George W. Bush sees when he looks in the mirror. My guess is ........

I seem to remember the schmuck above had an awful lot to hide about 30 years ago and his blustery crapola about subpoenas didn't work out either. It was some sort of crap about protecting the office of the Presidency, blah, blah, blah! Try to remember...this guy works for us!

Has anyone else noticed how worry free Alfred E. President looks these days. Most wartime presidents look like shit, but this guy looks just fine, healthier than ever as he giggles and stumbles his way through the world. We pay little attention.

We worry more about March Madness, the NCAA basketball tourney.

Just a reminder today...here's some real March Madness...and please note the ages of these recently killed soldiers and Marines in Iraq .......and then ask yourself, "Think Butler can pull it off and win the title" and note, a few of these folks are just a little older than "Sweet Sixteen":
Lance Corporal Dennis Veator , age 20 of PA
Specialist Jonathan Smith, 19, of Atlanta
Sergeant Daniel Woodcock, 25 of Alaska
Sergeant Tom Latham, 23 , of Maryland
Corporal Nathaniel Windsor , 23, of Oregon
Corporal Angel Rose, 21, of Maine
Sgt. Robert Carr, 22, 0f Ohio
Private Alberto Garcia Jr., 23, of California
Corporal Steve Chavez, 20, Of New Mexico
Specialist Adam Rosema,27 of California
Brian Chevalier,21, of Georgia
Corporal Ray Holzhauer, 19, of Illinois
Private Jim Arnold,21, of Michigan

US Airways and Logan Airport.....A Match made in Hell.

I readily admit it could have been worse....
from USA Today yesterday: "A first class passenger on a flight from Delhi to London awoke to find the body of a woman who had died in the economy cabin placed in a seat near him....The economy section was full and the cabin crew needed to move the woman and her family...as...the first class cabin allowed the family members...some level of privacy on the February flight."

While we were waiting for our luggage at Boston's Logan airport last night, a woman said to me, "It's like a cattle car". and I responded, "No, at least on a cattle car, they kill you at the end to finish your misery".

Seems British Air has the right idea.....though they could have woke the guy to let him know. "Sir, we'd like you to meet your new seatmate"

Our flight home to Boston landed at at 10:45 PM (15 minutes early) from Phoenix, though four 1/2 days late due to a cancelled flight because of snow last Friday. It took them ten minutes to open the door once we were at the gate because, the pilot said, "We surprised them and they weren't ready for us."

I must assume no US Airways flight has ever arrived early before. There were no other planes landing and the terminal was completely empty when we finally disembarked at 11, as they must have awakened Bobo the gate attendant to find a jetway.

The luggage arrived , with no other planes there, at 11:45 pm....one hour later. Well, that's when the carousel started spinning anyway. At midnight I retrieved my bag... as bags were placed 6 to 8 feet apart... it was the last one off. Yep, over an hour since landing to get a bag, when 1.there no other flights in and 2. no other baggage. Maybe Air Botswana would have been the better choice.

Note please that Boston is statistically one of the lowest airports for bag transfer to another flight. Most bags terminate there. The only combo possibly worse than US Airways and Logan would be Richard Nixon and Golda Meir teaming up as a couple on "Dancing with the Stars". On the way to baggage, down a long corridor, there were ,at least, 500 bags stranded, unclaimed from cancelled flights over the weekend, all this due to a 7", long-melted-away, snow.

From now on, when I need to travel anywhere closer than Sydney, I'm driving...and that includes The Falkland Islands.

Back to politics tomorrow

The GIANT Airbus...My heart will go on!

I'm still in Phoenix , but I printed my boarding pass and will join my fellow "tens of thousands of passengers stranded" heading back home today on US Airways, "The Wings of Ostriches" (which, by the way, is a flightless bird).

Air travel is in the news today. Yesterday two giant A380 Airbus' landed simultaneously in New York and Los Angeles. That's good news and bad news as they were flying for US Scare as a demonstration and were heading for Chicago and Atlanta.

But the good news is that the giant 800 plus passenger jets both landed safely . I can only imagine the joy when one of it's future flights are cancelled. Today's airlines can't find room for cancelled passengers if the plane was a regional 60 seat jet. 853 passengers....come on ...."Yessir, Mr. Jake, because you checked with us early after cancellation , we can rebook your ass in a seat sometime next October".

Remember Titanic. bigger...Bigger ....BIGGER. I understand that on yesterday's flight, Leonardo Di Caprio held Kate Winslet onto the front of the plane as it taxied down the Frankfurt runway for takeoff, "I'm the king of the wor....." , he yelled, not finishing the sentence before he was blown off the nosecone.

How long will it take to board an A380? "Folks in Zone 60...please wait your turn. We're only pre-boarding those whose cancer has metastasized during the wait".
By the time you get off the thing, if you're in row 70, the person waiting to pick you up will have evolved......"Honey, didn't you used to have a pinky toe"......and she'll answer in a Conehead-like robotic trill....."We do not need those anymore! Where have you been? You've never met your grandclones!"

Well, its big like the Titanic........now they can legitimately have steerage. No, wait, that won't work...they fed them.

Stuck in Arizona... in a hotel made of stone-ah

First of all I apologise for the lack of blogs last week; a business trip pulled me away to Arizona ...and a snowstorm has kept me from returning to my kith and kin ...and even from my kin that don't kith me. I will be blogging on a normal schedule this week since I now have the time.
US Air /America West cancelled my Saturday morning flight back to Boston on Friday night.....it took me three hours to get them on the phone.....and the only seat back to New England was Tuesday at 3pm. They did tell me they could get me to either Charlotte or Pittsburgh on the plane above, but no closer to New England than that.

I asked the agent who helped me "What good would that do? How stupid ! What is your name?.

He answered "Ron Dumsfeld", and told me he had just started with the airline after losing his last position and reminded me , "You have to fly with the airline you have , not the airline you wish you had?". Can't argue with logic....and considering it's 85 and sunny, well, I could have been stuck in Fargo, ND. US Airways tried. I'm not mad.

So I am learning about Arizona from the daily Arizona Republic and if I'm reading it correctly , John McCain , their Senator, is about as well respected these days as Dick Cheney's target shooting aim.
Seems the former rebel McCain, the outsider, the free thinker has experienced some backlash since he decided to kiss Bush's ass for the last six years. Now the rebel, the outsider, the free thinker can't even speak out against US Attorney General Alberto VO-5's decision to fire those prosecutors, including the very popular and well respected Federal prosecutor for Arizona, Mr. Charlton.

McCain, shown preparing for next meeting with the President, commented , "You run for president with the brown nose you have, not the brown nose you wish you had!", and then probably got my seat back to New England on America West from Phoenix.

The Arizona Republic also reported today that three scuba divers drowned exploring a sunken wreck off the Florida Keys. The article said, "It is not immediately clear how the three , all from New Jersey, died, but they didn't have enough tanks,did not have a dive plan and did not have dive reels with them to show them the way off the wreck".

Hmm, my bet is that they died from drowning and stupidity.

Perhaps they should have vacationed out here in Arizona....where the closest ship to explore is the ship of the desert.Gets tougher and tougher for the Republicans in 2008 as their smartest voters keep dying off, doesn't it?

Mysteries of the Underworld Explained

According to Reuters,"A team of British scientists has set sail on a voyage to examine why a huge chunk of the earth's crust is missing, deep under the Atlantic Ocean -- a phenomenon that challenges conventional ideas about how the earth works."

The Earth responded, "I ain't working. I'm collecting unemployment"

One answer, as explained by the science experts of the anti-Global Warming crowd is that "the Earth is obviously on the low carb Zone diet and has decided to eliminate the crust in order to cut down on the carbs". Sadly, they never returned from their journey of exploration as their ship fell off the edge of the Earth.

What's in the hole, miles down, where you can actually see the mantle?

Truth be told, the Brits aren't the first to explore it. Looking into the hole a few years ago, MassPube Scientific Research ,with financial help from the science wing of Reverend Ted Haggard's new "Church of the Almighty Jelly Products", discovered that the hole was actually opened by the Devil ...

.....who, after years of keeping it hidden wanted to show off his mantle ...... so visitors could see the many Christmas cards he has received from Ann Coulter, James Carville and Osama Bin Laden over the years, all prominently displayed on his mantle.

"Nobody's visited until now, except for Bin Laden, who has , heh heh, 'Bin here' in the hole hiding out..", the Devil said, "Everybody always supposed he was my pal. Now they can see it for themselves, but frankly the bastard's like 'the man who came to dinner'. He won't leave. Carville always sends me a photo card but I think it's just because we look alike. And Ms. Coulter was my only match on E-Harmony, but the date didn't work out. She said I was "hot", but she was too caustic for me. I'm lonely."

Taxing situations...your Government at work

Doing your taxes?

I am...and I'm getting mightily screwed due to a mix of IRA's vs. pension plans and tons of bad information. But, like a schmuck, I'll pay what I owe.


In an odd segue, everybody's talking about the potential of President "DooDooBallHead" pardoning Scooter Libby. He wouldn't be the first to pardon a pal and here's the segue.......Just so you remember, on his last day in office, Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich who had spent 17 years abroad to avoid trial on charges of income tax evasion....he hadn't paid (and probably still hasn't) taxes of $48 million bucks. He was pardoned, it is thought, because he had contributed heavily to the Clintons. Congress investigated and found nothing wrong. What a surprise!!!

In the course of that investigation, they found that I had wrongly deducted a ball point pen (government evidence, left) that I had purchased and that I owed the government .0222 cents and immediately impounded my car.



Tax dollars at work here in Massachusetts : It turns out that Mrs. Governor Deval Patrick is now suffering from exhaustion and depression, just six weeks and approximately six giant mistakes into her husband's term. The governor, Mr. "Mrs Deval Patrick", has announced he will take time off with flex hours to care for his wife. That's OK and the state government, America's first name in honesty, informs us all that, praise Jesus, Deval is still the guy in charge.

One of his giant mistakes was hiring a political crony at $72,000.00 per annum of taxpayer money to be his wife's full time appointments secretary; a brand new position he created.
The role of the appointments secretary for a woman who has no appointments can be quite taxing and one must be very dextrous, as shown above by Rosemary Woods, President Nixon's old secretary.

But Mrs. Patrick is a full time, major partner at a giant law firm in Boston, a position she maintains. Why in hell does she need an $72,000.00 a year appointments secretary for her work as First Lady? But my real question is, now that she's suffering from "exhaustion and depression" and cannot work, are we still paying the $72,000.00 a year to the appointments secretary when Mrs. P is so ill that she can't handle any appointments.

As long as the tax money is put to good use and everybody's treated fairly. Maybe I won't pay this year and just wait until I owe $48 million!!

If the mountain won't come to Mohammed.....

On CNN's Paula Zahn Now, I heard an idiot guest named Mark Smith, as they were talking about how 60% of Americans think the Iraq War is a failure, say, "George Bush is a victim of his own success." You may want to read that again. I must note that a statement like this gives me hope......hope that someday I'll be able to find a drug that good, to paraphrase Lewis Black.
Mr. Smith said that because we have not been attacked since 9/11, the war is a success....because over 3000 Americans were killed that day and none in 'the homeland' since.

Mr. Smith seems to have forgotten the over 3,000 Americans killed in Iraq plus the over 24,000 Americans injured are Americans too. And it's about the 1400th day since "Mission Accomplished", which must be why we are 'surging' our troops. It's such a success
Perhaps Al Quaida has learned from the old cliche, "if the mountain won't come to Mohammed, then the Mohammed will go to the mountain". Interesting choice of prophets ....and why waste money flying here, when we'll come to them for the slaughter.

Mr. Smith's 'success' also is costing us trillions of dollars, trillions against we are mortgaging the future of our country. Our 27th generation of grandchildren should have the interest paid off by 3674 AD.

We don't have the money to pay for anything else, so don't be surprised when your federal subsidies dry up, like college loans, etc. Here's a tiny example:

Acdording to AP, there's a little known Federal subsidy that funnels millions of dollars to rural communities in the west, but it's ending .....and forcing Western US rural towns to close libraries, schools, reduce police forces and put off road repairs. Fifteen library branches in rural Jackson County ,OR alone will close. "We're building libraries in Iraq" says a library patron out there, "and we are not funding them in Jackson County".
Well, President Baboon never reads anyway, so he doesn't feel the pain. How many times can he renew "My Pet Goat".
In Alpine County ,California, if the subsidy ends, two of their six schools bite the bullet.
In Arizona's Greentree County, they will close a school for special education students.
Oregon's Harney County will cut its road crews , so snow plowing will be lessened. Judge Steve Grasty said, "The covered wagons used to say 'Oregon or Bust'. They were right. We're busted". Coos County, Oregon is laying off 38 folks in the Sheriff's department alone.

Here's to another Bush era economic success story..... Wasn't Ken Lay a friend of Bush's too.

361 Illegal Immigrants arrested at work! Their employer...OUT ON BAIL

In New Bedford, MA. a raid by immigration agents two days ago on Michael Bianco Inc., a leather goods maker, netted 361 illegals working in sweat shop conditions in the factory. They were arrested and some are still being held.

Yeah, yeah, I feel bad because most of them were just hard working, decent people who snuck across the border, some paying as much as $4500.00 to smugglers to get them across, in order to have a better life for themselves and their kids.

But they were here illegally and , sorry, illegal is illegal! The big bad government has even let a few home so their kids are cared for. Many are still being held and most will be deported...or let loose once again when the government loses track of them, which, by the way, they will.

But who is to blame.....it's a man named FRANCESCO INSOLIA who owns the company. He hired them all.

He's out on bail and , guess what, he's back at his desk running the company. Insolia has reaped over $50,000.00 in tax breaks since 2004 because HE WAS EXPANDING THE COMPANY.

Mr. Insolia's HR department wishes to thank the producers of BEN HUR for the use of their drummer in the Roman slave galley from the film to set the tempo of work and conditions at MICHAEL BIANCO INC.

FYI in 2004 he expanded his business because he had a $138 million FEDERAL CONTRACT in hand.

How about this asshole/bastard serve a year for every illegal he hired. He's the cause , not them and maybe a $10,000.00 fine for every one too!

How about he serves here....

He can write the book and I can't wait to see the movie

Governor Deval Patrick of "Mass-UR-chusetts"

There was an ancient city in Babylonia named Ur. Legend has it that it was peopled by politicians who , when called to task, constantly said , "Ur,er, I didn't mean to do that." That's what the ancient scroll to the left translates to.

I believe that's where the word "error" originated, though I could be wrong.

Elected under the slogan "Together We Can", Deval Patrick, a Democrat, was in big trouble two weeks ago because, with the state having a billion dollar deficit ( a gift from our last Governor, Mitt Romney) ....

1. Governor Patrick hired a full time appointments secretary for his wife at $72,000.00 a year. The woman he hired was a political crony. His wife is a highly paid,top level partner at a major law firm and works full time at that job. Under fire, he refused to fire the new secretary saying "Together we can.....pay for the appointments secretary".

2. He spent $27,000.00 to redecorate his office in our bankrupt state. The outcry was so great that, after the public wanted to string him up outside the State House with the cord from his new $10,000.00 damask drapes, he said he'd pay for that himself ........and also $400.00 or so a month to help pay on the lease of his new state Caddy, as he decided the Crown Vic they had wasn't good enough. See, Together we can....keep Deval's lifestyle of the rich and famous at that level.

Where will he get the money? Well, he's rich ... and part of that wealth came from being , please sit down, a $360,000.00 per annum member of The Board of Directors of ACC Capitol. The board met for four or five minutes per year, maybe they were meetings, but who's counting....it was still four or five times a year.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.....
ACC Capitol owns Ameriquest Mortgage which is under big time investigation because of shady dealings. Ameriquest needs a loan, a BIG loan, and is trying to get it from Bank of America.

Bank of America has tremendous dealings within the state of Massachusetts and is regulated by the state.

Two days ago, on a request from Ameriquest, Deval ... saying he was acting as a private citizen, not as Governor ..... called Bank of America and gave a hearty reference for the thieving bastards of Ameriquest to Bank of America. Though he didn't say it, the implication is that "well, if you don't help out, next time we regulate you....let me be blunt "together we can't".

So, the headline in The Boston Globe was "Patrick says he erred in call to firm". There's that "Ur" word again.

Some are saying he got bad advice or none. Yeah, right! This guy was a big time corporate lawyer. He was a US attorney. It has nothing to do with advice. Shouldn't he know better? I'd bet that you do...and I don't even know you. It has to do with his sense of entitlement and his sense that he can do "together with us" whatever the hell he wants.

In his eight weeks as Governor, the one good thing he's proposed, which won't work anyway, is raising the dropout age to 18 from 16. This is an idea first espoused during the campaign by his Republican opponent, Kerry "Muffy" Healy.

Other than that, we basically pay this guy to apologise for stuff he knows is wrong and thinks he can get away with until he's caught.

No hits. No runs. Lots of Ur'ers, Deval!

Maybe thats why we pronounce it "MassURchusetts.
