Beacon Hill-billies (continued...again...)
Gotta roll out the old Dead Horse Beating Alert for this one.
Some days...well, OK, every damn day, I find myself overcome by the urge to throw a bucket of warm, fermented horse piss all over the arrogant pieces of shit up on Beacon Hill who have the nerve to refer to themselves as "stewards of the people" - if only that wouldn't be a waste of an otherwise perfectly good bucket of warm, fermented horse piss.
Or to determine Teddy Kennedy's successor after the bloated, red-faced windbag keels over from cardiac arrest on the floor of the senate while babbling incoherently supporting a ban on some kind of made-up-in-his-Chivas-soaked-head satellite-guided, laser beam powered, anti-aircraft handgun ammunition that any third-grader can buy at Walmart using his library card and a piece of string.
Back in 2002, the voters of the Commonwealth voted overwhelmingly in favor of English immersion programs in our public schools. Gee, requiring kids to learn and speak friggin' English - what a bunch of cold, heartless, fascist bastards we must be. The state legislature, essentially decided to tell us to go pound sand, implying that we are too stupid to be deciding these matters, so they just went ahead and threw a bunch of bilingual education measures into the 2004 state budget anyways. Why? Just ask Bill Clinton - because they could.
I wonder if that whole "learning English" concept wasn't going to go over to well in Tommy Finneran's Mattapan/Dorchster (read: heavily minority) district. I can certainly understand his reasons for doing what he did, though. The more English these people learn, the more they're going to realize how badly they've been getting the business from their elected officials without even the common courtesy of a reach-around .
"Stewards of the people" my ass! Champions of the people? Up yours!
How fucking sad is that when you're job description has to include the line "It is your responsibility to maintain 24-hour vigilance so that you will be ready when your P.O.S. colleagues try to ramrod some politically-motivated, power-grabbing, horseshit through the legislative channels, which they WILL do, by the way."
That's the problem, you obnoxious little fuck! You do whatever the fuck you want to do, as long as it solidifies your monopolistic control of the state. But hey, as long as your constituency swallows that bullshit about you actually caring for them and looking out for their best interests, that's all that really matters, right Tom?
Why they keep voting your ass back to Beacon Hill is beyond my level of comprehension. Maybe there's something to that whole "screw the voters, they're to stupid to know what they're doing" crap.
Seems that all that's left of the Birthplace of Liberty is some afterbirth, a pile of feces-stained bedding, and a ransom note that reeks of Johnnie Walker Black, postmarked Hyannis.
Anyone know where I can get a bucket of horse piss cheap?

BOSTON - Much has been said about the near-Olympian powers of House Democrats in Massachusetts, where the party commands all but 23 seats in the 160-member chamber.
Many say they abused that power this week when they took a series of votes to effectively create three new legislative days in one 12-hour period, allowing them to swiftly push through legislation that will determine how Sen. John Kerry's successor is chosen if he wins the presidency.
Or to determine Teddy Kennedy's successor after the bloated, red-faced windbag keels over from cardiac arrest on the floor of the senate while babbling incoherently supporting a ban on some kind of made-up-in-his-Chivas-soaked-head satellite-guided, laser beam powered, anti-aircraft handgun ammunition that any third-grader can buy at Walmart using his library card and a piece of string.
In other words, the Democrats simply voted - three times - to declare it a new day, allowing them to sidestep cumbersome rules requiring three votes on three different days in order for a bill to be passed.
"And here I thought God created the days," said Pam Wilmot, executive director of Common Cause of Massachusetts, a government watchdog group. "This was a brazen example of what can happen when one party or interest has such complete control."

With the Legislature scheduled to end its formal sessions at the end of July, many lawmakers who are not in lockstep with the leadership say they have to be on constant guard against legislative shenanigans during the quiet summer and fall months.
"We have to be vigilant at all times," said Rep. Jay Kaufman, D-Lexington. "As a rule, there is a group of us that makes it a point to have one of us in the chamber at all times for precisely that kind of eventuality."
How fucking sad is that when you're job description has to include the line "It is your responsibility to maintain 24-hour vigilance so that you will be ready when your P.O.S. colleagues try to ramrod some politically-motivated, power-grabbing, horseshit through the legislative channels, which they WILL do, by the way."
A spokesman for House Speaker Thomas Finneran, D-Boston, defended thedisgusting level of arrogance of our elected officialscreation of three new legislative days last Tuesday, arguing that everything was done by the rules, out in the open, and with full roll call votes.
