'D'stands for dysfunctional, not dynasty

Patriot fans finish last again

Thursday, Jan. 20, 2011

There is no joy in Shillville — the “dynasty” got a bone in its throat for the sixth consecutive year.

It’s over. Now, please, can all of you jock-sniffers, cheerleaders, frontrunners and pom-pom boys just Get Over It and move on to the next overhyped sporting event.

I’ve got it — Beanpot Fever Sweeps Hub!

Oh, the inconsolable gloom that envelops Patsies Nation. I heard that on Sunday night after the stomping, some local loser issued this plaintive cry:

“My win-tah is spoiled!”

On Sunday, “we” were going to the Super Bowl. Then “they” lost.

Really, it would take a heart of stone not to laugh. But now it’s time to take the Patriots flag down from your front door, and it’s way past time to get that Patriots spare-tire cover off the back of the SUV, not to mention to put away the Triple XL Brady No. 12 sweatshirts.

Most of all, it’s time for these overwrought, overweight yahoos to stop thinking. There’s something not quite healthy about this obsession a certain class of males around here has for Mr. Gisele Bundchen.

Like, why do they hate the supermodel so much? Are they ... jealous? Some of these guys, when you hear them breathing heavily as they gush about Brady, you start thinking two words: restraining order.

The fellowship of the miserable, as Rick Pitino once described this sad collection, gravitates to two radio outlets: one appeals to 30-year-old men who live in their mom’s basement — the other to 50-year-old men who live in their mom’s basement.

Remember Brady’s fender-bender in the Back Bay in September. The basement boys reacted as if al-Qaeda had struck New York again. One of the room-temperature-IQ producers called 911. Like, it’s, like, Tom Brady, man, the greatest quarterback ever.

Host No. 1: I love Tom Brady more than you!

Host No. 2: No you don’t, I love Tom Brady much more than you do!

Host No. 1: Rah-rah-rah....

Host No. 2: ... sis-boom-bah.

The fans, the hosts — everybody sounds the same. Listen for two minutes and you’ll feel like you’re home on the range. Seldom is heard a discouraging word. There’s a bar right between the two stations, Hogan’s Run. If the two stations put up microphones at either end of the bar and let every Brighton boozer who wandered in just belch and burp to their heart’s content, no one listening in their car would ever notice any difference.

Hey, Brady, one last thing to think about in the offseason. A haircut.

A depressed fan remains sitting in the stands at Gillette
Stadium Sunday in disbelief over the Patriots shocking
loss against the Jets. He was later escorted by security out
of the stadium.

Hey pols, keep the $300 and buy a clue

Gov. Patrick trims legislative salaries


by Howie Carr
Thursday, Jan. 6, 2011

A $300 pay cut for the Legislature? Gov. Patrick, is this some kind of joke?

Six bucks a week? As in, that was how much the tolls were supposed to go up a few years back for most commuters, and somebody like Jim Aloisi scoffed and said it was only a sandwich a week.

So six bucks a week was nothing when it was coming out of our hides, but now that it’s coming out of yours, it’s... symbolism.

You want some symbolism, solons — let me give you a symbolic number.

The number is 100. You might even call it iconic. One hundred dollars, as in, the annual pay of a New Hampshire legislator. You know, New Hampshire, the state with no income tax and no sales tax.

Massachusetts has a 6.25 percent sales tax and a 5.3 percent income tax, and our reps’ base pay — and probably half of them are now at least $7,500 above because of their “leadership bonuses” — is now $61,133.

What is wrong with this picture?

I suppose any cut is better than nothing, but a savings of $65,000 is thin gruel indeed. Another Felon Finneran scheme goes awry — back in 1996 none of the hacks ever assumed their pay would go down, but now it has. But only until something can be worked out, perhaps by jacking up the per diem, the daily travel allowance that ranges between $10 and $110. After all, the price of gas is going up.

So, they get base pay of $61G, probably half of them (including everyone in the Senate) gets that “bonus,” the third that live more than 50 miles from the State House get a $150-a-day write-off every day the Legislature is in session.

Then there are the per diems, and the campaign-finance accounts that pay for their cars and their cell phones and their bar tabs and every other damn thing . . .

Three hundred buck pay cut?

This new year is getting off to a rather strange start at the State House. The Parole Board is enmeshed in scandal, and has the Globe even mentioned that the chairman is a former cop who was Deval’s driver in the 2006 campaign? (That’s OK, we’ve mentioned it enough for both papers.)

The new, unindicted speaker, up to his eyeballs in the Probation Department scandal, is now screaming about parole — call it Operation Change the Subject.

Deval, meanwhile, says let’s not rush to judgment, meaning don’t rush to judgment about me.

All the statewide officeholders below Deval will be sworn in on Jan. 19. That’s the first anniversary of Marsha Coakley’s stomping in the special Senate election by Scott Brown. Marsha has decided to be sworn in on the big day at the Perkins School for the Blind. No, I’m not making this stuff up.

In an interview, Gov. Deval Patrick says he will
trim salaries of lawmakers mounting the state's
$2 billion deficit

Nothing in the works

Mass. losing more jobs after election

by Michael Graham
Monday, Nov. 15, 2010

You’ll be happy to know that your government is hard at work spending your money. It’s the taxpayers who are left unemployed.

In 2008, Gov. Deval Patrick promised that he could create hundreds of thousands of biotech jobs in Massachusetts if we’d just give him $1 billion of our money for projects supported by his pals (and political donors) in biotech and Big Pharma. The Democrat-dominated Legislature gave him his wish and now Beacon Hill is throwing around $100 million to “create jobs.”

And how’s that workin’ out for ya? Here’s the headline from Tuesday’s Boston Herald:

“Biotech aid falls flat.”

“The state’s $6 million handout to biotech giants Genzyme Corp. and Biogen Idec didn’t prevent those firms from issuing 270 pink slips in the Bay State last week - raising doubts about Gov. Deval Patrick’s ambitious plan to create 250,000 life sciences jobs in 10 years,” Jessica Van Sack reported. She added, in a moment of profound understatement, that Patrick’s promise of a quarter-million new jobs “now seems even more far-fetched.”

Yeah, well “fetch” this: In the week since Patrick was re-elected, we’ve already lost more than 1,000 private-sector jobs, and more cuts at companies like Raytheon are on the way. Interestingly, the Associated Press reports that Patrick was asked about the upcoming cuts at Raytheon in the last days of the campaign, and rumors that he’d asked them to hold off until after Election Day.

“Patrick bristled when asked if he requested Raytheon delay any terminations, saying the company was adding jobs,” the AP reports.

Whatever really happened - and Raytheon’s smart enough to know the value of sucking up to government in a Democratic duchy like Massachusetts - it’s too late. Patrick’s back, the jobs are gone and voters stuck themselves with the tab.

It was embarrassing enough reading reports about “stimulus” jobs that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to “create.” But thanks to our government geniuses, we’re spending money to lose jobs. Instead of generating “green jobs” we’re passing out pink slips.

The Obama administration is a big fan of a California “green jobs” company called Solyndra, for example. So the O-bots gave this politically-connected company $535 million, but instead of adding thousands of net jobs, Solyndra’s actually cutting its payroll by around 150 people. That’s $3.6 million per job lost.

Anyone remember the good ol’ days before Patrick and Barack Obama, when companies laid off their own employees for free?

Meanwhile back in Boston, Mayor Tom Menino dumped $10.5 million of local tax dollars into the W Hotel and Residences project, inspiring yet another headline from Tuesday’s Herald:

“W woes could cost Hub $10M.”

“The city of Boston could be out $10.5 million if the Prudential Insurance Co. of America wins bankruptcy court approval to foreclose on the new W Hotel & Residences,” the Herald reported. That’s more tax money wasted and more jobs lost.

Ah, but there’s one part of the economy that’s growing. This headline from yesterday’s USA Today says it all:

“More federal workers’ pay tops $150,000.”

The number of federal workers earning $150K has doubled under Obama. His new plan? To give them an across-the-board raise.

I’ve got one more headline for you to ponder:

“Mass. Dems sweep state elections.”

Until that headline changes, nothing else will.

It was in June of '08 when Gov. Patrick signed a $1 billion
bill to biotech giants and promised it would create hundreds
of thousands of biotech jobs. Instead the company
announced to cut 270 jobs just last week.

Massachusetts, the land of misfit toys

Republicans cleaned House, but not in Massachusetts

by Donnie Boston
EXCLUSIVE!
Monday, Nov. 8, 2010

I told you so.

Republicans last week cleaned House across the country and changed the balance of power in Congress in historic fashion. But people here voted differently, of course. By no means I expected this state to turn Republican, but with a little luck I was hoping for some key seats to at least change hands.

Now that you, the Beautiful People have spoken, here is a brief look on some of the key issues you will face over the next four years.

Sales Tax on Alcohol: You voted 'yes,' which means you don't want to pay an extra 6.25 percent on alcohol. Though, here's a perfect example on how your elected officials go against the will of the voters right after you re-elect them. They enjoy overriding anything you repeal on the ballot. In the past, you always enjoyed getting hosed anyways.

Sales Tax and Use Tax: You voted 'no' which means you like paying a 25 percent higher tax on anything the government can get their hands on. It doesn't even matter if it's candy, sugar or the works. And it's death to the person who informs you that your taxes got significantly raised across the board last time you chose not to repeal it.

Gov. Deval Patrick: You chose to give Patrick another four years in office, which means you agree with him that your state is on the mend and on the move. It doesn't matter that your state lost 24,000 jobs over the past two months and unemployment has nearly doubled under his watch. You even put aside that your governor has the worst record than any governor who has ever served your state. You are satisfied with this.

Also, you enjoy picking up all the tabs for illegal aliens who continue to arrive in your state illegally under Patrick. And you simply have no problem with these lawbreakers using up all your resources that you are fully paying for.

Under Patrick, you don't even mind that the unemployed keep getting rewarded, like being able to cash in on HD TV's, smokes, booze and the works by using their EBT debit cards. It's really no big deal that your tax dollars provides such luxury for these individuals and that your governor refuses to act on resolving the issue.

Barney Frank: You are pleased that Barney, Chairman of the Housing Finance Committee, supported housing policies that wrecked the national economy. You gave him another term in office even though he caused people to lose their homes and fortunes by lying to them on how their stocks would do good moving forward.

Martha Coakley: You gave Martha another term in office as your attorney general, which means you appreciate the good job she is doing. Never mind that she doesn't understand what illegal means as your attorney general. You even agreed with her when she said during her campaign that it's not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts. And you also don't mind that she should never investigate any one of her party members who breaks the law, because she depends on their vote when her seat is up for re-election.

Enough of this already. You get the picture that your state, again are going to be filled with these types for another term, thanks to you. I mean, can you imagine another four years of this same old corrupt and irresponsible government?

And speaking of such, haven't you heard? Right after all the “hacks” up on Beacon Hill got re-elected, they got brand new computers and billed them to the taxpayers. And if I were a betting guy, I bet the old ones got launched right into the dumpster rather than into the hands of the FBI.

As far as our state goes, I believe more people that do the right thing by working for a living and paying their taxes and bills on time, will continue to finish last under Patrick, forcing them to flee to another state where they can get better values at cheaper rates. They will continue to be replaced here by low income people, if that, which will continue to cause less tax revenues for the state, creating more deficits like the one you will be facing this coming Fiscal Year--worth $2 billion.

And you can continue to blame the misfits we have for voters in this state who are in need of one thing:

B R A I N S!

Boot with steal toe is best for this election

Time nears to boot out incumbents

by Donnie Boston
Election Exclusive!
Monday, Nov. 1, 2010

Tomorrow is Election Day, and loons like Deval Patrick will be running for re-election nationwide.

While many voters will vote such Cancer out of office across the country, Massachusetts voters hopefully will do the same at least to some extent. I mean, can anyone name one good thing Deval Patrick has done for you and this state ever since he got elected?

What was that again, governor? Our state is on the mend and on the move? Try telling this to the 24,000 people who lost jobs over the last two months – 21,000 alone in the month of September, which is the biggest one-month job loss in 20 years. Oh, and it's no big deal that 100,000 jobs were lost under your watch either.

I know you want to keep sticking to that figure right up to the very last minute on how the jobless rate recently went from 8.8 percent to 8.4. How about 4.6 percent unemployment when you first came into office? And what about all those people whose unemployment benefits ran out that are not being counted? So much for that so called 8.4 number.

Also, too bad you had to be forced by The Herald to release those numbers on illegal immigration. It's something that you didn't want to hear just before the election. This is why it took you a month to hand them over, or else...

The figures only prevailed that the taxpayers spent $37.5 million in emergency health care last year for illegal aliens. What a shame that Patrick chose to abolish Mitt Romney's mandate of having these individuals arrested on the spot. He wants to keep using the excuse that it's the feds responsibility to act. Blah... Blah... Blah... I mean would it really hurt Patrick to act, knowing that illegals overall cost taxpayers and this state billions of dollars every year? So much for the taxpayers facing a $2 billion deficit this upcoming Fiscal Year. It's just another example of Deval being so far out of touch with taxpayers ever since he became governor.

I can just see it all over again if Patrick gets re-elected and after the mindless voters turn down repealing the sales tax again. You remember what Mumbles did, right? As soon as this loon got re-elected, two weeks later he hosed his own voters by raising the property tax 6 percent. Ditto with Patrick. If he gets re-elected, soon enough I bet your sales tax will be raised to 7 percent. Hey, the Beautiful People had their second chance in the voting booths on how they enjoy paying higher taxes so much. “Thank you sir may I please have another.”

You see, it all comes down to the mindless voters we have in this state. The same old Beautiful people will be out in full force tomorrow to vote in their own torture once again. They are the same individuals who believe in only two things: that John Kerry got hosed in Ohio, and George Bush and Dick Chaney were the ones that brought down the Twin Towers. Moonbats at-large!

Take for instance this one example of a voter in which I was lucky enough to run in to. She asked me to withhold her name, of course, after I asked her one simple question if she will vote for Barney Frank in her district. “We are Democrats and Barney always meant well to everyone. I will vote for him.” this voter says.

I mean what the hell. It's no big deal that Barney wrecked the economy. Remember we are moving forward, and that's a good thing. It was so good that people woke up one day and found out that they lost their fortunes. Stocks only dropped 90 percent under good old Barney, and it was the biggest drop in federal history. Sure, Barney always meant well to everyone. For heaven's sake, vote Bielat for U.S. Congress!

Here's another voter on AG Martha Coakley: “She will get my vote because she is good at what she does,” this voter says. Martha is so good that she even knows that it is not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts. Don't be as dumb as Martha. Vote McKenna for AG!

Oh, the list of these types goes on.

But I have faith. I've always said that if the “straw” (Tim Cahill) finishes below 10 percent that Baker could have a chance of pulling it off. Right now he is fighting to get eight. And how bad does it get for Patrick when he isn't even considered a shoe-in with the straw and this Stein woman still in the race? Remember, a vote for them is a vote taken away from Baker.

Here's one thing I know: Come early Wednesday morning, many of these Patrick-like incumbents from across the country will have one thing in common:

Sore behinds!

how the state is on the mend and on the move
