As the Hack-O-Rama Turns
Please, gentle readers, do not let this story destroy your faith in the taxpayer-funded hack welfare program known as Massachusetts politics.
Feeling a tad paranoid, Angelo? I wonder why.
What? A no-good, corrupt piece of shit hack on the state payroll? Say it isn't so! I'm shocked!
Too much to quote here - read the whole thing. Though, if you're a Massachusetts taxpayer, please remove all breakable objects from arm's reach before doing so. Be sure to read the part about how Mr. Buonopane began his illustrious career in the Commonwealth.
Welcome to Massachusetts. Now if we could only get the Boston Globe to send its reporters out to expose the rest of the hacks wasting oxygen on the state payroll. Oh, wait a minute. Those hacks aren't Republicans. Exposing them wouldn't tarnish Romney's image here in the early days of the '06 governor's race. Never mind.
Speaking of which, if Buonopane still has a job come Wednesday morning, Romney's gonna have some explaining to do. Though I'm not sure how the all hacks on the other side of the aisle can honestly use this as a campaign issue against the Governor.
Oh wait, I used the word "honestly" there, didn't I? I guess that answers my question.
It's late morning on a brisk day in downtown Boston, and Angelo R. Buonopane, the state's director of the Department of Labor, steps out of his office building. He looks right, he looks left, in front of him, and behind him.
Feeling a tad paranoid, Angelo? I wonder why.
Then Buonopane starts strolling up Washington Street, returning to work 40 minutes later with a shopping bag from one of his favorite haunts, Filene's Basement.
An hour later, Buonopane emerges from his office again, and this time heads for a two- hour, 12-minute lunch at his North End home. Buonopane returns to the office, for 37 minutes, then heads home again. Total time worked: three hours, 14 minutes.
It was another short day for Buonopane, the highly paid, highly connected appointee of Governor Mitt Romney. Buonopane's work days average two hours and 51 minutes, according to Globe reporters who observed him over a series of days during February and March. On many days he does not come in at all.

At the age of 18, he began serving 30 months at the state prison in Walpole for holding up three Brookline pharmacies at gunpoint.
