Election Day
Ah, the elections....our time to "do our civic duty".....
Today is actually primary day in neighbouring Massachusetts.
Because all our "big" local television stations are out of
Boston, we been deluged with ads for the candidates
for Governor of Massachusetts.
And what a bunch they are. It makes me happy I don't
live there anymore.
Kerry Healy, the sitting lieutenant governor who is
running for governor, has an ad wherein she talks
about cutting taxes.
She'll cut the property tax, but.....
"I'll go even further", she says with conviction.
No mention of how she intends to pay for anything,
like maybe schools...
Deval Patrick has an ad with some "man in the street"
saying, "You can hear the justice in his voice."
What the hell does that even mean??
Chris Gabrielli has "spent 10 million dollars of his own
money" on his campaign. Now, if a person is willing to
spend that kind of money to get a job that will NEVER
pay that much....hmmm......what's in it for him?
Lock up the towels and soaps before he checks out.
Chris says, "It doesn't matter if it's a Republican
idea or a Democratic idea, as long as it's a good
idea that gets results".....riiiiiiiiight......
Tom Reilly, who has been the Attorney General
has been playing the "regular joe who lives in a
regular neighbourhood" card. Trouble is, he's
been in/around the State House most of his life.
Or at least most of MY life.
Andrea Silbert, candidate for lieutenant governor,
claims to have helped people who then created jobs,
or something....it's not clear.
Deborah Goldberg, another candidate for
lieutenant governor, says:
"On Tuesday, I'd appreciate your vote".
[I assume that by Wednesday she'll be
claiming she did it all by herself]
She also says "Jobs is the issue that pays for
everything else." Wow. Admitting the
behind-the-scenes political PR stategy! Oh,
wait....I think I know what she thought she was
saying. I guess if the schools were better, her
grammar wouldn't suck so much.
Well, screw it, I don't live there anymore.
I just have to hear about it every day!

That has to be more irritating than listening to old ladies gossiping in an elevator or some place you can't get out of right away.
Just to be a typical wife and criticize:
She also says "Jobs is the issue that pays for
everything else."
That was Silbert, not Goldberg.
Really doesn't matter since both of them lost to Worcester's Mayor... Ugh!
Thanks for the correction, Mrs., but you know how it is: they all become a blur of bullsh*t...it's no wonder I mixed them up!
