The King of Boston

Sunday's Boston Globe had an interesting profile of Boston mayor Thomas Menino and his governing strategy. This strategy could be described as "hands-on," as in the article, or more simply as tyrannical. A representative sample:

[Menino] said he wants the flexibility and discretion to govern Boston’s diverse and changing neighborhoods as he sees fit.

“If you have hard-and-fast rules,’’ he said, “it’s not going to work.’’

It's amazing that city politics allow people like Menino not only to grasp so much power, but also to revel openly in it in the press.

The Majority of Mass-holes want nothing more than to be ruled as subjects. This may be surprising to us outsiders, but is quite comfortable to the surfs of the Mass colony. Maybe their Senator will make a miraculous recovery and someday they can all pray to Saint Theodore for all of their health care needs. ****notice I stated "majority"****

To anyone from Massachusetts, is it true that the children's hospitals give out "Teddy" dolls to all of the sick children?
