I love me some Boston and intend to settle in the area permanently in 13 years or so. I can’t for the life of me understand why people are leaving the city of Boston and Commonwealth of Massachusetts in droves (despite the statistical shenanigans pulled by the Mayah).
Oh, wait, here we go:
A furious Mayor Thomas M. Menino vowed yesterday to bill Sony Corp. for the chaos that swirled around the release of its PlayStation 3 machine after Boston police had to quell crowds grown frenzied and unruly by the hype surrounding the coveted consoles.
“We had to rush in 12 police cars with officers there and take them off the streets of our city where they’re doing their patrols, to squelch the crowd that we had there,� Menino said, referring to a throng of 500 at Copley Place.
“It’s something that should not be tolerated,� he said. “It’s wrong to take advantage of the public that way, wrong by the manufacturer and by the retailer.�
See, that’s not ridiculous idiocy – it’s strong leadership. Thanks for making my job defending you as a good Democrat that much easier, Mayor Menino! There’s no way Howie Carr will make fun of you for those statements.

13 years? Do you figure that’s when the people of the Commonwealth will figure out the error of an all-dem government? Or is that after the Big Dig completely collapses and is rebuilt?
That’s when I get 50% + in the mail.
