6 more inches of snow last night

This is great. Anyone have Al's address so I can send him a bill for cleaning my driveway?

I want my global warming and I want it NOW!

Stolen Quote

Had to pass this one on from The Smallest Minority blog:

In my lifetime we've gone from JFK to Gore. In my lifetime we've gone from Ike to GW Bush.

If this is evolution, in few years we're going to be voting for PLANTS!
- Comedian Lewis Black just prior to the 2000 election.

Only in Massachusetts

When I worked in Boston they opened the last tunnels of the Big Dig, declared success and shorter commutes for all. My commute from the South Shore got longer. . . by about 15 minutes. As I see it that is about one minute more commute for each BILLION dollars they spent on this sink hole.


Now I commute out onto 128 and they have opened the Greenbush line to help ease traffic on Rt3 south of Boston. They spent something like $500 mil on it if memory serves correctly. So far it has been open about a week and guess what? My commute on Rt. 3 has gotten longer – yes, LONGER. So I guess all the money and court time was worth it, they made a difference. Like everything else this government does to make a difference it made things worse, not better. What do we need to do to get them to stop helping us? I am not sure we can take much more of there help.


As Ronald Reagan said – Then nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. I just wish we would stop proving him right. . ..


Only in Massachusetts can we add infrastructure to aid the commuter and make things take longer than they did before. Is this a wonderful state or what?
