Fist off, as I mentioned before my contract with BMG is coming to a close and my agent has put out feelers. Well let me me tell you, I am getting the love.
But my heart is here and David, Bob and Charley put a package together that can’t be ignored. In fact I’m close to re-upping but much of this depends on subscribers.
So it’s time people. Cough it up. We ain’t given this shit away. I need to see a few more ticks on the money board from all you Subaru driving, vegetarian, hemp advocating nut jobs. This is a fund drive people.
So here is what I am gong to do, if I see someone who posts often yet doesn’t have the seal I’m calling them out on it, Ernie style.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

BMGer Dont Get Cute was on-top of the latest episode in the Boston Globe’s simple yet divisive narrative of the city’s on-going racial problems.
I’m trying to remember some others.
Oh yes, Celtic player Dee Brown ordered out of his car at gun point by Wellesley police. Parked while being black was the reason according the Globe and everyone else.
Here’s a fact that got and continues to get little attention. The police responded as a result of a 911 call from the bank across the street reporting that a man who resembles the person who robbed the same bank the day before is sitting in a car across the street.
That’s a fact. But the phony baloney journalists, who want a shield law btw, continue the self-grandizing and propaganda that they are the arbiters of ethics.
Here’s another one. Remember when the Gloebbels called out Charlestown for being anti-semites because some people raised a ruckus when Governor Cellucci announced the bridge would be named after Lenny Zakim.
Once again the selected facts were reported to keep the narrative going. What didn’t get mentioned was the fact that most of the people objecting to the name were not “Townies”. They were what they call over there “Toonies”. The new people, the liberals, the yuppies, the gays. Basically anyone who talks real good.
There were a few townieis too but the it was preservationists and historical types that complained. There was on-going planning with the state on the project for years, well before Celluch arrived on the scene. The whole area is historical because it was an important because it’s at the base of Bunker Hill and was important during the battle. (did you know that Gen. Lafayette is buried in Paris with a handful of dirt from Bunker Hill inn his pocket.)
So for years the historical types and state planners were developing the whole concept, including the huge park besides the bridge. If you notice the spires o the bridge they are replicas of the Bunker Hill Monument. The naming of the bridge was suppose to bring it all together.
So you can imagine how pissed these people were when they woke up and read Celluch was naming it after Lenny. He came up with the idea while shaving.
I bet few of you have heard that part of the story. Especially if all you know is what you read in the paper. Anyway that story took off. Those fuckin’ Irish racists and anti-semites in Charelstown. Nothings changed since busing. See what we mean. These people have no class. All of them
The fucking narrative of this city is a joke.
The Boston Goebbels is always ready take a small fact and then shake, rattle and roll the details until it tells the world, “Yes, Boston Irish Catholics are ignorant and uncultured. The will never change. Stay away.”
I could go on and on. But let me say this. The black person in America is born with a shitty hand and never stops playing it. No matter how much he or she wins at the table. (Btw i say “black” because “African American” is bullshit. Not only is it pretentious the blacks in hood think you’re a dolt when say it. Zero cred my brother)
So with that in mind, Boston is no worse than anywhere else. Our problem is we should be doing a better job at promoting thriving black middle class. The families who have been moving down the road to Randolph, milton, etc. This is the demographic that Boston needs to strengthen. and help thrive.
These are the two toilet Irish and Italian of years ago who moved out of Dorchester, South Boston, Somerville, North End, West End, etc. Their kids are suburban. And most have cousins still in the neighborhood. Just like the kid in Hanover who makes sure you know when meeting him that he went to nursery school in Southie. Moved out when he was four.
Anyway, that’s just a thought.
But fuck the Globe and their self-serving divisive narrative.

Okay, we all know what Scott Brown is. Sure he is a dig-me. But hey, what politician isn’t? Perhaps he’s not the sharpest knife in the draw, but really, isn’t about what you advocate for and how you vote? Isn’t about having smart people around you?
But you know what? We all know him now. We get him. As dumb and phony as appears to some he fast becoming “our” dumb and phony senator. He’s not idealogical and he has shown that he won’t sell us for some Republican cause.
The people are getting a sense of trust in sincerity and his willingness listen.
Now Elizabeth Warren can have all this and then some but her problem is the same. The race is not about Republican v. Democrat. It’s not about any one issue. It’s about trading in the old senator for a new one. Like selling the house and moving down the street to one that you don’t know much about.
A U.S. Senator becomes like a neighbor u may never talk to but always waves. He’s there if you need him.
I think this is Elizabeth Warrens problem.
One more thing. Elizabeth. Pklease smile. Your ad that ends talking to the little kid in the carriage does not show any warmth from you. The look on your face is that of the lady from the orphanage telling the kid she was taking him away. Jesus Christ we need to see you smile.
Prof. Warren, trust me, the world is not coming to an end. You have a delivery that was made to tell us that. It shows compassion, it shows empathy. But lady, you’re a downer. If you’re not than order those high priced consultants to show you as you are.

What a great story but there are at least 20 different versions, some in the same source. Even Wikapedia.
Lafayette died on 20 May 1834, and is buried in Picpus Cemetery in Paris, under soil from Washington’s grave at Mount Vernon……
On 20 May 1834, Lafayette died. He was buried next to his wife at the Picpus Cemetery[144] under soil from Bunker Hill, which his son Georges sprinkled upon him.[141][145]

Brown, Ern.
Yeah, anyone who’s paying attention knows phony and not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but who’s he advocating for? If he’s advocating, I’m not seeing it. I’m not talking about advocating for me. I’m asking anyone?
And the smart people around him? Maybe when it comes to campaigning, but his legislative record is white noise.

He signed Grover Norquists pledge not to even consider raising taxes.
Grover Norquists wholly ideological Republican cause.
From where I sit, it appears that Scott Browns’ every move since winning election in 2010 has been on 2012: there is wariness enough in his approach to suggest he fears some revelation of his truer self; his relentlessly blunt focus on ‘independence’ and ‘moderation’ in his actions between 2010 and 2012, with little reference to acts prior and decisions upcoming, suggests, to me, that his tenure in the US Senate is a tightrope walk between what he wants us to see, and what he really is. That’s the phony that I see.

Not sure why
