Deval Patrick & My Penny jar

I have a pickle jar on my bureau and at the end of every day, I put the change from my pocket in it. I started this practice when I got my first real job 20 + years ago. I've gone through different vessels, but the point remains the same.

The jar started out empty. The ringing of the change on the bottom every evening was pretty loud since the coins had nothing to absorb their impact except the glass of the jar. Then in a few weeks the level inside grew and I hear a satisfying clink of coin on coin. That's when I know I'm starting top make some headway in my fun money. Then a few weeks later I get to the point where the change slips off of the overflow back onto my bureau and I know its time to cash in.

Here's my point. Devals frivolous spending started out like the empty pickle jar. He's at the change on change level now as far as I'm concerned. Overflow is not far behind.....

Lets recap for those of you like Jackass Jim Braude who dismiss his Majesty's spending away with the wave of a hand:

2,000(estimate) helicopter ride
46,000.00 PimpMobile
72,000.00 private secretary for Momma Patrick

That gets me up to 120,000.00 in 6 weeks. Lets call it 2 months. That's 60,000.00 a month. Multiply that by 12 and you're up to 720,000 a year. Multiply that by 4 and I want to puke.

This is the guy that wants his departments to cut spending and help cut a deficit?

And he defends each one of his bonehead moves. Angrily. He has no clue. God help us all I can't help but get sick when I think of the damage that this jackass can do.
