Tap-Dancing in a Minefield
I recently went by a convenience
store under renovation in the Back Bay. I wondered if the contractor had to
factor in cost for compensation and or relocation of the panhandlers in his job
estimate budget.
Now that Menino’s gone can we PLEASE have
our candy and tonic machines back? I’ve been in plenty of City buildings that
never lost theirs!
I’ve lived in Boston for my entire life. When I was a kid, pigeons were
EVERYWHERE, and spying a hawk was a rare sight. Now it’s just the opposite.
After working several details in sub-zero
weather this winter, I’m pretty sure the phrase “Frozen Stiff” should actually
be “Frozen Shrunk”
Circumstance forced me to the Mass Registry of Motor Vehicles. I think
it’s a lot like hell, only hell smells better…
We MUST protect the Ukraine at all costs,
because if it falls, we will never be able to get Chicken Kiev again!
Speaking of the Ukraine, I don’t think the Russians are intimidated by
Obama threatening to draw a line in the sand. It seems every time he does, and
it’s crossed, he simply draws another one. Just ask Syria!
Has anyone ever barked up the right tree???
In the United Kingdom, interested parties can purchase citizenship for
about $4 million dollars. Why would you waste your money like that-if you come
to the US, we’ll pay YOU!
I went looking for a spoon in my cooler but
couldn’t find one, what I did discover were enough plastic knives to stage a
revival of “West Side Story” on an airplane.
Walter Williams, an elderly farmer passed away at his home, and was
declared dead by the local coroner. His remains were transported to a Funeral
Parlor, where Williams came to and began to move inside the body bag which was
in the embalming room. After changing his underwear, the undertaker phoned EMS.
Williams was revived and survived for another two weeks, when he finally passed
away for good. It’s rumored his last words were: “Be sure to get a second
opinion THIS TIME!”
If one more person uses the GPS excuse I’m
going to flip! You know, “sorry officer, my GPS sent me down the one-way,
through the red light, etc”-you get the picture. Same goes for “Where can I
park?”
Mikeala Shiffrin, 19years old, and a U.S. Olympic Skier won gold in
Sochi. When you win a Gold Medal at nineteen, does it all go downhill from
there?
Please mind your business! A busybody
decided police needed to be called to investigate kids playing “pond hockey” on
the Muddy River in the Fenway. With the temperature hovering in the teens for
several days prior, and the depth of the Muddy River less than 5 feet, I think
the possibility of “sudden death” would have been from a tie or frostbite
rather than drowning.
A radio ad for WIC really makes my blood boil. It consists of women
cackling about all the great things you can buy with your WIC benefits-with one
eyeing the full grocery cart and exclaiming “look at all that stuff did you win
the lottery?” Yes, she did win the lottery, and we
(taxpayers) bought the ticket!
I always laugh at those commercials that
show the well dressed housewife in the huge home, cleaning with the featured
product. She buzzes about her giant house in a dress wiping and shining every
surface until it sparkles. C’mon in the real world a home that size would come
with a team of housekeepers and the wife would be sitting around with a
cocktail, making sure they didn’t steal anything.
With so many things bearing the former Mayor’s moniker, it’s easy to
confuse visitors to our fair city. Simply tell them to take a turn at the
Menino (park, bike, building, ball field, flower garden, port-a-potty, etc)
They’ll be going in circles for hours.
In Colorado, an illegal alien is suing the
local first responders who rescued him from his vehicle, after he was trapped
by flood waters. Roy Ortiz has made no bones about it-he’s only looking for
money, claiming rescuers should have got him out sooner. I truly hope the judge
in this case does the right thing and throws the case and Ortiz out.
A California State Senator, Leland Yee, has been charged with trafficking
in illegal weapons. Yee promised FULL AUTO Rifles and Shoulder Fired Rockets to
an undercover FBI Agent, for $2 million. Yee claimed he could get the weapons
from Muslim Terrorists based in the Philippines. In an ironic twist, the
senator authored and supported many of California’s tough gun laws-you know,
the ones that apply only to law abiding citizens, not Yee, or his terrorist
buddies, not to mention his gang banging organized crime associates. Yee also
legislated Driver’s Licenses for Illegal Aliens, and blocked Law Enforcement
from turning illegals over to Federal Authorities for Deportation. Oh and did I
mention, he’s a DEMOCRAT!
Speaking of Illegals and driver’s licenses, Massachusetts is entertaining
the prospect, claiming it will make our roads safer. Whoever came up with this
one must already be using the medical marijuana. If you’re a bad driver with no
insurance, a simple piece of paper isn’t going to change things one bit. A
Driver’s License would also allow access to State benefits (although I don’t
think they’re hard to come by without one), and Voter Registration. While not a
fan of a Scarlet Letter, a great big red “IA” embossed over the info should be
required. Then we’d be able to see just how well these folks drive, while
safeguarding our wallets and electorate from their meddling. And please don’t
give me that “second class citizen” crap-they shouldn’t be citizens at all!
Calls for a man with a rifle flooded
Area D, with units from 4, 14, MSP, and Brookline Police searching for the camo
clad suspect. Imagine the surprise when it turned out to be BU ROTC on a
training exercise. It seems the proper notifications were made, but the word
never got down to the boots on the ground, due to an oversight. A strange
tidbit came to light during the aftermath, when one of the Boston Cops spoke to
the Colonel in charge of the ROTC. They were forced to get permits after an
anonymous complainant claimed to be scared and intimidated by the college
troopers in their camouflage uniforms. Probably the same dolt that made the
call. Anonymous complaints should not even be entertained.
I have been known to belt out a tune or two at karaoke but find it
embarrassing to sing at church. It is possible that alcohol may be a factor…
Funny how a bum isn’t responsible
enough to hold down a job, yet manages to beg money from a median strip or a
convenience store for several hours. Early morning through late afternoon, in
almost any weather, they’re more reliable than the US Postal Service.
The editor of Ebony.com is in a bit of hot water after sending out a few
tweets with a racist spin. Jamilah Lemieux blasted Raffi Williams after he
questioned her commitment to diversity. Lemieux tweeted this rant after
Williams offered to get her more info about a new magazine aimed at
Conservative minorities: “Oh great, here comes a White dude telling me how to
do this Black thing, Pass.” Trouble is, Raffi Williams is black. Proving once
again, that diversity and tolerance are great as long as you have the same
opinion as the Liberals.
Not to be outdone by Ebony, Comedy
Central’s Stephen Colbert sent out his own racist Tweet slamming Asians, after
his show attempted to lampoon Washington Redskin’s owner Dan Snyder, who’s
refusing to change the team’s name. Calls have been made to cancel the show or fire
Colbert. If that does happen, where will the Occu-punks and Libtards get their
news?
Does anyone else find it ironic that the latest Boston Gun Buy Back is
sponsored by “Target”?
Every time there’s a promotional
exam, several people go out injured. After picking up my copy of the Rules and
Regs from the Academy, I may go out with a hernia. It’s like carrying a
#$%&*#@ suitcase. I can’t believe any of us are still employed with that
many regulations governing our conduct.
I went to a party held at a golf course. Due to inclement weather I let
my wife off out front. She got mad because the sign said “bag drop”.
Speaking of golf-it’s one of only two
sports you can play for life. The other is hockey. No matter how old you are or
how much your skills have waned, you can still find enjoyment just from being
out there.
President Obama met with Pope Francis, hoping some of the Pope’s luster
will rub off on him. Considering the Obama administration’s attacks on
Christianity, I wonder what they discussed? Conflicting reports on the topic of
the meetings were provided by Obama, and the Vatican. Noting the President’s
track record, I’m going to lean toward the version supplied by the Holy See. Disagree?
I only have this to say: “If you like your health care plan you can keep your
health care plan-period.”
Meanwhile, across the pond-it’s been
reported that UK hospitals have been incinerating medical waste for heat.
Sounds so green, doesn’t it, until you learn that included in what’s called
“medical waste” were over 15,000 aborted and miscarried fetuses. Hmm I recall
some other group in Europe burning bodies in ovens…just sayin’
A Louisiana Sex Shop has been blasted for accepting EBT to purchase their
(ahem) products. Apparently these leeches think edible undies are one of the
four food groups.
Concerning the above item; how
convenient is it that Liberals like Deval Patrick dismiss them as mere
“anecdotes” even though they are true stories. BUT if you attempt to limit EBT
abuse, the Loony-left concoct all kinds of imaginary scenarios and declare them
to be true. I guess that’s the best part of being a liberal, facts don’t apply
to you.
I saw a sign at a park that reminded people to pick up after their pets.
It featured silhouettes of a dog and a cat. Who the hell walks a cat?? Really!
With the Retro in my wife and I
decided to treat ourselves to a night on the town. After dinner at the Capitol
Grille, we wandered down Boylston St. With an Anime Convention at the Hynes, we
were treated to a myriad of cartoon characters along the route. How ironic was
it, that as I enjoyed a cigar in the great outdoors, a kid painted blue and
silver, sporting a pair of horns and a fur vest actually made a face at ME for
smoking.
Looks like the village idiot, also known as Vice President Joe Biden let
the cat out of the bag when he referred to Illegal Aliens as already citizens.
Just because you let them vote Joe, and give them benefits Joe, and pander to
them Joe, and ignore their criminal activities, Joe, doesn’t make them
citizens. A citizen would have been arrested for perpetrating any of these
frauds, Joe. Stupid is as stupid does…
Another contender for Dumbocratic
Champion is Nevada Senator, and Majority Leader Harry Reid. After Republicans
reported numerous cases of the shortcomings of Obamacare, Reid claimed they
were all lies. He then denied his statements, even after videos were produced
showing them. Either Reid thinks the American people are that dumb, or Harry is
suffering from dementia. Neither of these choices is appealing to the USA.
Not to be outdone by these two, Rep Sheila Jackson Lee, who has referred to
herself as a freed slave, has made her own bizarre statements. Including:
Klansmen are now running the TEA Party; There are still two Viet Nams -one
North and one South- living together in peace (author’s note: I was under the
impression that ALL Liberals knew the outcome of that war); US Astronauts
planted a flag on Mars, and her latest gem-the US Constitution is 400 years
old. Critics have said the Congresswoman’s braids are too tight, I may have to
agree…yet all you get from the mainstream media is: Chris Christie, the Koch
brothers, Ted Cruz, not one of whom has made statements even vaguely as
outrageous as these. And let’s not forget dear leader’s: “57 states”; speaking
“Austrian”; bowling like a “special Olympian” Gone are the days of Woodward and
Bernstein-they’ve been replaced by sycophantic lapdogs who toe the party line
at the cost of journalistic integrity. I’m reminded of the old line about the
Soviet press. In the old USSR there were two newspapers, called Pravda (truth)
and Izvestia (news). The joke went in Pravda there is no Izvestia, and
in Izvestia, there is no Pravda. That’s where we’re heading here.
And to finish (with another seamless
segue) the Obama Administration, through the FCC is proposing implementation of
“CIN” or Critical Information Needs, wherein a Government monitor would decide
what stories are reported on during newscasts, in papers ,and magazines, effectively
censoring opposition! This is no pie in the sky conspiracy theory, this is
legit! A pilot program is underway in South Carolina. Last time I checked,
freedom of the press is guaranteed under the First Amendment-you know the one
Liberals always trot out to bolster their position when they want to rip down a
crèche. But Obama is the best president ever, Joe Biden should be leading Mensa,
the IRS is not out of control, and Obamacare will keep us all healthy-now
please stop pointing that gun at me!
Stay safe, thanks for reading, and don’t forget the Commissioner’s Cup! I
don’t know who’ll win this year, but I know who won’t-hint: 4 time champs who
forgot humility…
On a more serious note, a Back Bay
fire claimed the lives of two Boston Firemen-and although I like to joke
around, we both serve in dangerous professions. I don’t usually put words in
others’ mouths but I don’t think I’m out of line by saying the thoughts and
prayers of the staff of the PAX, and the entire Police Department are with the
friends of families of these two “Bravest”. Rest in Peace Lt Walsh and
Firefighter Kennedy, you truly are heroes, in every sense of that word.
