Housekeeper sprained her ankle, eh? No possibility that the white raisins had been taking effect on the other female of the abode.

In 1997, they were cited for a ``visible'' satellite dish on the roof, records show.

LOL! And these folks and their ilk don't appreciate windmills off the Cape.

LOL. Be ibteresting to see what percentage of votes and committee meetings Jean makes it to after Congress is back in session.

This ranks up there with Howard Dean's bike path.

The housekeeper should have hired Edwards to sue!!

...to build twin railings on the front steps of their Louisburg Square mansion.

The Kerry's housekeeper is allowed to use the front door? Holey Moley...who woulda' thunk?

Hilarious to see big government proponents grovelling before other big government minions. The entire article is dripping with irony.

A completely strange state populated by totally weird people.

"Well, Mr. Homeowner, exactly how many screws do you plan on inserting in that rail? You realize, of course, that there may only be 8 threads per inch in those screws and each screw must be free from burrs. Present them for inspection, sir."

"I see I have erred, Mr. Councilman. These are phillips screws and I see the rules call for slotted screws. I shall stop at the hardware store during my next power walk and exchange them posthaste. Thank you for your vigilance."

Ex presidential candidate, looking for part time employment to supplement part time income. Has experience moving city fire hydrants. Please contact J.F.Kerry

[Ginifer]

"The Kerrys, who came under fire for having a fire hydrant removed after they moved to Beacon Hill, have won past approvals for a new decorative iron balcon"

Guess they don't care if their house catches on fire, but those decorative iron balcon's are a must...LOL!

Paging Howie Carr!

Thanks,

Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, won initial approval Dec. 16 - only after a lengthy debate and contingent on a rash of future paperwork - to build twin railings on the front steps of their Louisburg Square mansion. To bolster their case, the Kerrys laid out everything from the type of metal used for the railing, its color, where exactly it'll be attached and just how many screws will be used.

Can you imagine having a conversation with JFK about minutiae ?
I'm thinking the Beacon Hill Architectural Commission caved to stop being bored to tears and to just shut him up.

Chalk up another huge victory for American liberalism!

What a horrible place to live. I'm so grateful to live in flyover country.

"to build twin railings on the front steps"

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

If I had their money I'd buy me an Island somewhere and do as I darned well pleased.

I'll bet when a commode stops up on Beacon Hill, you need permission from the city before you can legally plung on it.
