Barack Obama- The Godzilla Sized Deval Patrick

The Rodney Allen Rippey of Massachusetts Politics known as our alleged Governor Deval Patrick is a piker compared to the con man that white liberal guilt catapulted into the oval office.

No experience- super size me

Idiotic liberal initiatives- super size me

Yes we can- super size me

If you live in Massachusetts and understand ANYTHING about what kind of idiot we elected for Governor, you should have no problem knowing that Barack Obama is just a Godzilla sized Deval Patrick and my wallet is Tokyo. I only wish I could evacuate.

Michael Stanley All Over Again

"Gov. Deval Patrick’s top budget aide said yesterday that the state is facing a “serious deficit” in the next budget year and that tax increases may be needed to close a shortfall expected to hit at least $500 million.
Administration and Finance Secretary Leslie Kirwan, who will file a new state budget in January, indicated that the state’s financial condition remains dire and that deep cost cuts or new taxes will be needed to balance the books in fiscal year 2009." - Boston Herald- October 18, 2007

I seem to recall a little phrase being bandied around while all of the Devaliens were sitting in a big circle, hands firmly wrapped around their manhood chanting ' Together We Can". It was that once Governor Rodney Allen Rippey gets elected that the citizens of our fair state would be " taxed back into the stone age". Is that a brontosaurus I see lumbering on the horizon?

Anyone with half the sense of a golf ball knew this was on the way. But they voted for him anyway. I can't recall any time in my 4 decades on this planet a time when there was more hand wringing and hats held out needing money. The T, roads & bridges, of course the children and now the state budget.

Here's my advice to Governor do-nothing. Go with the deep cuts option.

Viva Las Massachusetts

Deval Patrick has given the high sign to the State signifying his thumbs up to casino gambling. Much like everything he does, I expect that this will be much bluster and hot air before anything of consequence comes of it. Already DeMasi is condemning the idea and the anti-casino lobby is rolling up to shoot it down.

I'm not opposed to casinos. I think in moderation, a casino or two in Massachusetts would be a nice bump to the revenue stream. God know we need it.

But its not a cure all. Its not going to improve my quality of life. We seem to be so deep in the hole, that any revenues realized will simply be keeping us afloat.

20 Billion in transportation cost mismanagement is what the past quarter century have brought us. Fattened pensions, corruption and patronage are to blame. Bridges are crumbling and roads are falling apart, but toll takers still bring home 60K a year for stealing out of the cash box.

Have you ever seen a help wanted ad looking for toll takers? Ask yourself why.

Governor Gary Coleman certainly generated a lot of false hope with ' together we can' and has yet to deliver on his promises. Is this his answer? Perhaps. Is it a good one? To a point.

The problem I have is that this isn't going to improve my quality of life. The graft , corruption & patronage will continue. This will simply fuel it. A gaming commission? Please. Another nationwide search before the cousin of a state rep or prior state rep gets the gig?

There are other answers. Consolidate Mass Highway and the Turnpike authority. Get rid of the toll takers. Convert the states pension boondoggle into 401(k) plans like the rest of us have. Increase the cost sharing of heath care like we all have to pay. Make state reps & senators on par with the middle class like they were intended. Then they'll understand what we have to go through before they decide they want to pry open our wallets yet again.

Yea its all pie in the sky. None of this will ever happen because my state rep & senator aren't looking out for me. They're looking out for themselves.

But I'm OK with casinos. 4 or 40 - what difference does it make? Its just going to cost me more in the end anyway, like everything else Patrick does.

My Governor the Assh*le

This is from John Keller blog: http://wbztv.com/kellerblog regarding our impotent ,mealy mouthed, rapist loving liberal Governor Deval patrick; The Rodney Allen Rippey of Massachusetts politics and his response to his 9-11 ' tribute' remarks attributing the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington to “the failure of human beings to understand each other and to learn to love each other”. My comments are in bold and the morons aren't.

"Refusing to offer even a cursory apology to those offended by them.From the State House News Service account of the governor’s appearance today on WTKK’s Eagan and Braude Show:“Patrick sounded exasperated with the insistence of some callers in returning to his speech (read: How dare they question the great & powerful OZ!) Tuesday, which state Republican Party Chairman Peter Torkildsen ripped Wednesday. Near the top of the hour, the show's producers played an audio version of Patrick's remarks, and Braude asked him if he wanted to apologize. Patrick declined. (He hasn't been wrong yet, has he? Why should he apologize? For those of you who read the last page of a mystery first, just scoot to the bottom of the article)

He called efforts to "gin up political controversy" over his words "sad." Patrick said, "First of all, I think I was clear,(if it was clear, why are regular Joe's asking you to apologize you putz?) and I think the condemnation of the attacks on all of us is universal. (No Deval- only you feel this way) Certainly, I feel it. It was vicious. It was unjustified. And I think that any other interpretation of what I said is simply wrong." He added, "We are, I think, in this country historically a beacon of hope for people all over the world and for people to see us as other than that is a part, in my view, of a failure of human understanding and frankly( he's like Wallace Shawn in the Princess Pride- he uses that word too much.) I was taught in my church that all violent attack is a failure of human understanding." ( This means that he wasn't thinking for himself but he blames his church. Nice - standard democratic ploy. Jesus made me do it!) Later, a caller identified as Tracy told Patrick, "I am surprised that you did not take the opportunity to apologize for your statements on 9/11." Patrick replied, "I was there, I know what I said, and I was clear as possible in condemning the attacks." Another caller, Mary Ann, told Patrick, "I wonder why you're such an ineffective communicator with your remarks on 9/11." When she followed up with a more insistent question about the impression she said Patrick had left about wanting to sing "Kumbaya," and asked him to "please explain," Patrick replied flatly, "No." ( There's that arrogance again) Later, returning to his office after the radio show, Patrick was asked whose reaction caused the other reaction. He replied, "Conservatives," ( That means the people who don't want to free racists, get taxed up the ass because of your incompetence, want to protect children by not changing CORI laws, want illegal immigration to be illegal, and want the laws enforced) before being interrupted by visitors to his office.”

This is from the Herald's critique of the moron's interview http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/politics/view.bg?articleid=1031384

He later told another critical caller: “If you or anyone else heard me to say anything other than a total condemnation of terrorist attacks on 9/11 and since on the United States or on Americans, you are hearing something other than what I intend, and I am sorry for that ( I thought you weren't going to apologize you dolt) .”

So what did we learn here that we don't already know. Nothing except my puke bucket only holds a gallon and every time I listen to this disingenuous piece of flotsam, I keep thinking I need a bigger one.

7 Days & 7 Nights

I decided I would take a week off.

After all, how much trouble could the Rodney Allen Rippey of Massachusetts politics get into in a week? He must be pretty much petered out by now, right?

Man, I'm glad i didn't put any money on that one. What a week. And as someone who did not drink the kool aid what a fun week it was.

Yea, I did sign up for devalpatrick.com. Strictly for the entertainment value alone I would have paid money. Whats new and groundbreaking there? A messageboard that's abused like any other messageboard, the Deval Patrick Handjob that's on the welcome page and the gross violation of privacy that was the clusterfuck of the first few days. I laughed so hard my sides still hurt.

I love the disclaimer: The views expressed by users of MyIssue.DevalPatrick.com do not necessarily represent the views of Deval Patrick, the Deval Patrick Committee or anyone else other than the person responsible for posting them.Way to distance yourself Gov. How about pulling a Curt Shilling and blogging too? You've got time while you're at your wifes bedside, right?

"The Governor keeps track of the efforts of everyone who uses MyIssue.DevalPatrick.com and will often comment on issues generating solid amounts of support.
He may even take action himself, help you take action, or get others to help. " I was wondering how the Commonwealth Corps was coming along.

Sure- and Santa will be coming down the Chimney on Xmas eve. If this guy's got 1/2 a brain, which I doubt, the back peddling should start soon.


What ever happened to that by the way? Is Diane Patrick miraculously healed? Maybe she is. Deval should post it on his website. That would make us all feel good.

Civic Engagement? Please. The lesson learned about civic engagement in this state is that it doesn't happen. There's wishful thinking mind you. That's what all the Devaliens think is civic engagement as they hold hands, sing kum-ba- ya and hope that the fraud they voted into office will make the sweeping changes he promised. But civic engagement went out the window in this state when scumbag Tom Finnerian torpedoed the rollback of the 'temporary sales tax'.

Then there's the 'hitch up your pants' joke. Oh god I'm laughing again. I'm gonna go down to Blue Hill Ave Friday nite and start spreading those words of wisdom. Saturday morning I'll be blogging from Mass General. Of course we all know the most effective way to get those naughty gangbangers to stop filling each other full of lead is to scold them. Harshly. Maybe they'll break into song and dance like the Sharks & Jets. What a boob.

I should take another week off. The comedy aspect of last week alone was worth it.

Honest to God I sometimes think I just don't want to lambaste Deval Patrick anymore. That its just too easy.

There used to be a kid I grew up with. You'll know the type when I describe him. He was in your circle of friends and he was the abuse taker. For the most part it was good natured, but he was the one that everyone picked on. In my day his name was Lally ( first name withheld to protect the innocent).

Anyway, Lally never got it into his head not to hang around with us. He'd show up places and just take a ration of shit. About him, his clothes, his mother, his smarts... you name it and he got shit about it. It got to the point when one of us went to the men's room we would say " Gotta go take a Lally".

It was just too easy with Lally. He just kept coming back for more. Just like Deval.

Here's his latest interview with the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/17/AR2007031701005.html

In it , the Post pretty much makes him look like a Lally. They speak of his potential and the hope he held for Massachusetts voters.

Then they pull the rug out from under him. They quote members of his own party like Barney Frank saying about his call to Ameriquest : "That was a mistake in judgment, not just cosmetics" - nice - way to support a fellow Dem, Barney.

And yet, even through the beating he takes - and there are some nice ones landed like about the caddy: "The move might have caused minor grumbling, but critics saw it as just another decision of a series in his brief tenure that embraced the very political elitism he ran against during his campaign" his arrogance shines through. That pandering insipid habit of his to " call a flap trivial, dismiss it for a few days and then apologize after criticism escalated."

I thought John Kerry & Ted Kennedy were doing just fine making us look like a bunch of boobs. And here comes Deval.

Oil Up the Old Revolving Door

Looks like the old Michael Stanley Dukakis days are truly back. Free Em All Deval is gonna take control of the Parole Board :(http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/03/16/governor_to_replace_3_on_parole_board_when_terms_end/)

Screw caddy Gate, Screw the Drapes, Screw Amy Gorin ( ewwwwwww). This is potentially the most destructive action that the Rodney Allen Rippey of Massachusetts politics can do.

I can see the hemp heads over in Cambridge and Brookline now rubbing their semi employed hands together. Welcome back Willie Horton.

My disgust for the possibilities here prevent me from my standard multi paragraph rant. I will say this though - Ben Leguere gets out and I will personally lead the charge up the state house steps with pitchforks and torches and burn it to the ground.

Little Ditty 'bout Deval & Dianne......

Its no secret I don't like Deval Patrick.

I think he's a con man and an empty suit. I think he's like the Music Man. He came into town telling everyone that there was trouble in River City and he was going to clean it up. He won his election with empty promises and sound bites and governs the same way. He conned 56 percent of the voting public ( and lets not forget that's the VOTING public, not the general population) with his 'grassroots ' campaign ; the rank & file who he has forgotten but key members get cushy jobs in quid pro quo's (notice the use of the plural) that he deigned would not happen. He is out of touch with the common man in Massachusetts, makes bad decisions and I don't think he really cares what anyone thinks.

Now his wife is 'depressed' and he's going to be a part time Governor.

I've listened to the people that state that this is a scam and he's using it to divert attention from his screw ups. Sure, I can see him in a Dr Smith like pose, holding his wife in front of him like young Will Robinson to hold off the citizenry expecting him to fulfill his obligations.

I've listened to the people supporting her. Margery Eagan caterwauling about how difficult depression is and the bloggers commenting on how difficult it is to be depressed and how hard it is to function and how many pills they need to take to get through the day.

And the bottom line is I could care less. Deval's not depressed, his wife is. Guess what? Life goes on.

Deval's not depressed, his wife is. How many people in society have depressed spouses and carry on because they have to? People who have mortgages to pay and kids and families to support? People who work full time at Stop & Shop and then go to a second job because its impossible to support themselves on that wage? People who still take their kids to Cub Scouts and baseball & soccer? Life pauses so you can adjust then moves on at the same or a faster pace.

Too bad if this sounds heartless. I don't have time to be a crybaby about some woman who's wasting 72K a year of my money. I'm busy trying to maintain a lifestyle that residing in Massachusetts gets harder and harder to do.

The people hired this numb nuts to do a job. I didn't vote for him, but he's the Gov. God bless Democracy. So far he's been doing it poorly. If I hired a contractor to come into my home and he performed as poorly as Deval did I'd can him. No 'honeymoon period'; goodbye, I'll get someone else.

I started a new job in October. If I screwed up in 9 weeks like he has, guess what? Goodbye. I didn't get a honeymoon period. No one will stand up for me and say , " Oh lets give him a chance.". Together We Can. Hell no. In fairyland, where people like Deval have a grand vision that may happen but in the real world where people get their pay at the and of the week and are grateful for what they have and pray every Sunday in church that it doesn't go away, it don't happen.

Go to work Deval. I know being a part of the greatest scam in the state - the state funded health care system - your wife is in good hands. I doubt that she has a shortage of sycophants fawning over her, so she probably won't miss you as you go about the job you were hired to do- Run the Commonwealth. Tell her to take her pill and get your ass back to work.

Enough with the ballyhooing about Diane Patrick. She's not the Governor. I don't care about Kitty Dukakis, I don't care about Betty Ford, I care about me. My Kids. My family. My Mortgage. Find a way to stimulate the economy. Lower my property taxes like you promised you would. Don't raise taxes. Find a way to make 26BILLION dollars enough to run the hackarama and stop adding to it.

Together we can my ass. Get back to work and fix this.

Inside the head of greatness

Deval Betrayal? Is It Fair 4 Me to Judge?

I'm not a Spike Lee fan. In the late 80's I saw the movie ' Do the Right Thing' and what I took away from it was that Mookie had no right to demand that Dany Aiello put ANY pictures of the bothers on the walls. And that Spike Lee was perhaps the biggest reverse racist on the planet. I have never viewed a Spike Lee Joint since.

Its not that I don't understand or sympathize with issues faced by African Americans, especially in urban areas. Or the underlying torrents of hatred against them that bubble so close to the surface in some places that it instills a permanent fear.

But my historical associations with African Americans has been fortunate enough to be as equals. I've never struggled in an urban area. I've never been afraid to be on the Red Line at 10:00 at night. I've never been a victim of random violence or urban unrest. I've never been forced to live somewhere I could afford versus somewhere i want to. I've never been turned down anything because of the color of my skin.

The purpose of today's entry isn't to paint a lily white picture of myself in comparison to African Americans ( I paused for a full 3 minutes here debating if I should use the word Blacks). I read the following article posted by D.R. Tucker on http://www.devalpatrickwatch.com/ http://www.devalpatrickwatch.com/archives/2007/03/do_the_right_th.php

As I read it I rolled my eyes into my head to say ' ugh.. another black vs white thing... like the Amistad bible...Why can't he just be the Governor, not the Black Governor?'

How disappointed must the community that viewed this guy as a hopeful in solidifying their continued social progress be? As a middle aged white mail, I'm just pissed off because 1) I voted for Muffy , 2) I'm a flaming conservative, 3) I'm tired of getting screwed by Massachusetts politicians.

But this is far worse. This is , as D.R. Tucker states a betrayal. Would I be going too far to state its a betrayal like George Bush betrayed me? That he placed the progress of my party back 15 years. That his betrayal lends credence to wafflers and political leeches like Ted Kennedy & John Kerry. Perhaps, but I think this would be a betrayal on a grander scale.

Party Progress is one thing. Racial progress is another.

Where are the black leaders on this guy? Who's standing up to say Deval is a disappointment? Is the silence a commentary?

I don't know. I'm a white, middle class, middle aged suburbanite. I would in the Financial Services field, truly white collar. That's not to say I'm ignorant. Just not exposed. I can only relate my feelings. I say I can only imagine the Black Community's disappointment, but I really can't. Only hope that their leaders, and the Governor of my state can stay in accord while working towards the best interests of all?

Deval- Ohh I'm Sorry I Screwed Up - Again

I've been married a while. It ain't easy. I screw up and I admit as much to the Mrs and next thing you know, there I am apologizing. It happens.

But here's the thing. I learn my lesson. I try not to screw up twice. Let me rephrase that. I try not to get caught the second time.

Now here comes Deval Patrick- Man of the People - The Rodney Allan Rippey of Massachusetts politics. And guess what- He screwed up again. And he's sorry. (http://news.bostonherald.com/localPolitics/view.bg?articleid=186849)

I love those big doe eyes and the tail between his legs stance that he takes each time he screws up. He's like a little puppy... who can't forgive him... aww come on lets let this one slide.

Not this time. I ain't buying this mea culpa for a second. He's written his last check on his charm- an account he's emptying out pretty quickly.

The conflict of interest of this issue blazes like the sun. I keep hearing how smart this putz is then he keeps pulling boneheaded plays like this. Where are the smarts I'm hearing so much about. At this point, I truly think the guy that did my taxes at H&R Block could be the Gov. since he can look at a debit & credit then balance a checkbook.

Every time i turn around, I hear about the Guv starting a committee, connecting dots, I gotta look at that , my advisers and I poured over the budget, blah blah blah. Point is, this guy doesn't wipe his ass without appointing an advisor or commission and then he pulls this boner. No, not buying for a second that he wasn't counting on the political pull as the Governor of Massachusetts to be behind him when he picked up the phone. No way, no how, start the recall vote because this is another abuse of his power.

Stop your begging Deval- Its unbecoming

Stop it Deval. Just stop.

I just had the displeasure of reading your podcast. My suggestion for your new one is to include more substance and less begging. Stop begging the media to get off your back. Stop begging the citizens to embrace your new tax plan. Stop begging the legislature to follow you into the black hole that you're about to make my state by taxing businesses enough that they'll want to pack up and leave.

You talk about stabilizing our economy in your podcast, and obviously the way you think you can accomplish that is on everyone else's back. You're wrong. You talk about the property tax relief rider you have attached to your municipal options bill. It only helps a small population and comes at the cost or raising taxes for businesses in my town. You talk about towns cutting costs by utilizing services used by the state for pensions & healthcare. You could at least give credit to Kerry Healy for stealing her idea.

I can't help but notice that your ugly habit of throwing others under the bus to distract readers & listeners continues in your podcast. This is a nice way to distance yourself from the problems that you need to deal with, and more importantly promised to deal with. North Andover can't afford teachers because of fat bloated pension and fixed costs and the diversion of state funds that they deserved going to pork, fat, patronage and the lack of a stimulated economy. You're going to work on that, right. lets reach for that.

Don't personalize everyone elses pain by pulling that trick of using peoples names and problems. That's cheap and shallow and a transparent way to manipulate people.

I make a good living. I don't have anything new or flashy but I'm not house, car , credit card , HELOC poor. I have a house and 2 respectable cars. But not a lot of disposable income. And guess what Governor Rodney Allen Ripney. My property taxes go up too. It hurts in my wallet. A 200.00 a month increase that got assessed to me this year hurts. And you're ignoring me in your relief bill. That's wrong. And it torques me off. How many people in the 35K a year range are actually going to benefit from your idiotic relief plan? THEY COULD NEVER AFFORD A HOUSE TO BEGIN WITH. And do you think its easy to do it at 70K? No its not. But I don't have a mansion in Milton, a vacation home in the Berkshires and a mansion in Atlanta. I don't have an interior decorator. My wife makes due at Wal-mart and when somethings on sale. I got my furniture at Bobs Discount Furniture. And I make what would be a good wage anywhere else but a living wage in this state.

I'm bringing back a phrase. I can already see the resurrection of 'Taxachusetts'. I remember this one from your campaign and how much you detested it: Taxed back to the Stone Age. Its coming back DeVille. Keep it up.
