Paris Hilton - Not!!!

I could rail on about this travesty for pages & pages. I could. But I have something more important on my mind this Friday.

Denny's.

My town needs one. In the town I live in, there just isn't a good breakfast place. Now let me define good breakfast place. I think Friendlys is a good breakfast place. Someplace I can get a lot of breakfast for a little money.

Now critics of this statement will come out with ' Yes, but you sacrifice quality!'. Lets think about that.

What do they make sausages out of? And forget scrapple? How do you screw up eggs, or bacon? I don't need gourmet coffee, just acrid caffeine laden liquid flavored with those little cups of creamer and sugar. Toast? Please. There's no way to screw that up unless you burn it.

And there you have it- your quality argument resolved

I miss a good hearty inexpensive breakfast on a Sunday morning. That's why my town needs a Denny's

How much is too much?

I don't think an answer for this question exists in the state of Massachusetts. But before I address that I want to ask, " How Much Do You Have?".

That's the question I think is being asked on Beacon Hill and within the Patrick Administration every day. At the MBTA, at the Turnpike Authority, I don't think that there's a Massachusetts Government agency that doesn't have their greedy eyes on my wallet.

The Turnpike Authority not only wants to raise tolls, but it looks like theirs no end in sight for toll collections. He wants to raise the cost of driving the pike during peak hours. The Massachusetts Turnpike. The project that was paid for 20 years ago. The second sucking wound of the state ( the Big Dig being the first).

Don't worry about patronage jobs, overpaid toll takers, escalating pension and health costs and the associated abuse that goes with them! Keep padding the payroll with do nothing jobs, and don't take advantage of the efficiencies that would be realized by merging with the Highway Department. Keep your Board, your stable of hacks and just let it all ride on the taxpayer.

How much do you have? Because the state wants it all. There's no hiding it. Governor Rodney Allen Rippey, the naked emperor, wants to give away 6 billion in programs like free tuition ( yea, that'll pay of for the overinflated salaries of state college professors and administrators) and his radio blitz of doing business in the state would probable be better served playing OUT OF STATE. The Big Dig may not be in the paper, but the bills still due. State Highways are falling apart, and legislators kids, cousins, friends and wives still need state jobs.

The tragedy here is nothing can stop this. A few years ago when I'd listen to the whackadoos call Jerry Williams and tirade 'Revolution" I laughed at them. But now I wonder. Does the switch out of one corrupt hack for another in a ' protest vote' really effect any change?

I'm back, baby

I took a small hiatus from my blog. But, as Bender says, "I'm back baby!"

My, my what can happen in a few months. I'm going to spare you, if you're fortunate enough to find my tiny contribution to the WWW my ramblings on the gay marriage amendment, Mitt Romney, the bumblings of the Senior Murderer from my State to Washington Ted Kennedy , and a plethora of other things.

So, I'm back. More to come, believe me.
