Barry's bud took one on the kisser. "Arizona's anti-immigration law." Cute, AP.

When my husband and myself took a trip to Alaska, we met a really nice couple from Mass. My husband innocently asked why they liked Ted Kennedy in Mass. so much. They never spoke to us again. Also, he played golf with guys from Mass and asked the same question. The rest of the golf game was in silence.

Some people never learn. A new crop of Kennedys awaits and one could be replacing Barney Frank.

Before getting too excited about this, let’s all see what the State Senate does and by how many votes. Governor Patrick plans to veto this, no matter what, and the State Senate might side with Governor Patrick, anyways.

I’m from MA and know tons of libs that would never be that rude.

Sorry you had that experience.

Is Massachusetts starting to become more sensible?

Were they just embarrased that they couldn’t defend him or was it ‘we’re too good for you rednecks who can’t adore Our
Ted like we do’? sort of thing?

Both

Wouldn’t think so.

[ConservativeStatement]

Not really. The Governor is a freak, however. People will continue to vote Dem for the most part. Scott Brown, though a RINO at times, is in a struggle against a harvard-educated moonbat’s moonbat from Oklahoma.

I am believeing more and more that Lieawatha used her fraud to gain advatage in hiring. Because Rutgers-Newark isn’t exactly on the fast track for a Ivy League faculty appointment.
