Lew Evangelides has been Petro-fied. That’s right. This little dust up in the telephone booth known as the Mass House Republican Caucus is the creation of Thomas Petro Petrolatti.
For some unknown reason Big Lew agreed to cause trouble and divide the membership thereby insuring they will never agree to cast all 16 votes towards Johnny Rogers.
Good job Petro.
Note to Big Lew: I don’t care what Petro will do for you, it ain’t worth it.

Also on State House front.
Why did state police detectives meet Bob DeLeo’s Ways and Means attorney at his home. That is strange. It should have been routine part of investigation that takes place at office. What did they want from him that could not be talked about at office?

These Boston based crime dramas and movies have to stop. They’re ruining the city.
Stupid white and lightly shaded young males in South Boston and Charlestown and other places believe this shit and act like something they are not. Similar to white suburban kids acting like black kids.
These are not who these kids are. Yet they waste much of their youth thinking they are because of these dumb ass movies.
The Departed sucked. Jack Nickolson was a buffoon.
But any way, today’s Globe tells the story of a prep school yuppie producer by the name of Dana White, “who lived in South Boston for several years but resides now in Vegas” and the-true-life-authentic-gritty crime movie he is making in Sowtie.
It’s so coooool. He has mobster hit men like Pat Nee and Jim Martarano on the set. Which most likely means he is paying them as “consultants”. And he gets to hang with them. He has cred man. With a name like Dana how can he not be one of the guys at the Quencher Tavern.
But he probably never knew any kids who ODd on heroin sold to them by people who either bought it from these mobsters or paid them for the privilege to sell it.
Or did he know any families ruined by opiates. A family that has to lock the doors and windows and call the police when an addict son or brother comes around. Or do they know any old ladies who were mugged by an addict.
The worst crimes are done by desperate criminals and heroin addicts are the most desperate. How about all those apartment break-ins in Southie and Charlestown and East Boston and Roslindale and …… 90% are done by addicts desperate for money for their fix.
Might is always Right. And the man that is not afraid to pull the trigger has all the might.
Matarano and Nee are not heroes. They know that. But the dumb white kids who watch this shit don’t. And the prep school happy dicks like Dana White who create this crap think they are keepin’ it real.

Did anyone notice the story a few weeks ago about the WEEI employee arrested for alcoholrelated vehicular homicide? The accident happened at 3:00 A.M. and the defendant and his passenger stated they came from Game On, the sports bar/restaurant owned by the Red Sox and the Lyons brothers.
Hmm, what are the closing times in Boston?
What was his condition when he left the bar. That should have been at least an hour.
Hmmm.
Will the ABCC and/or the Boston Licensing Board do an investigation?
Will there be a civil suit by the victim’s family for serving this intoxicated.
BTW, the defendant/WEEI employee/Game On late night early morning patron was the designated driver for he and his pal.
How much were these guys drinking before the accident? And where? And who served them?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Oliver Wendy Murphy has to go. How the heck can New England Law School pay her to teach law students? Wendy has no regard for the Bill of Rights. She should work in the Kremlin. [NB: Link added by David. I assume that Ernie will correct me if he was talking about something else.]

I’m rooting for Chuck Turner
Unfortunately, names on this thing have to be changed to protect the innocent — if there are any in this corrupt state.
How does that stuff work, anyway? I would think a drunk driving homicide would rate some front-page public disgracing. Lesser offenses, say, pension abuse, gets your egg-faced countenance plastered on the rags for months.
The leadership struggle is a little less cut and dried than reported…and PETRO? No way.
It’s a crude simplification that the two-party system in the House is Irish versus Italians, but it has some truth to it, right?
Occasionally, the split between two Democratic factions is close enough that the small GOP bloc is able to have some influence, as when they chose Finneran. The very liberal Democrats have sometimes been in the same position. If we get a showdown between DeLeo and Rogers, we can test my theory empirically by counting the Irish and Italian surnames on each side…

This is a dynamite post. Keep it coming. Bring them out of the shadows!
But the “Boston Crime” movie genre has been around for a lot longer than the current run of Dennis Lehane inspired flicks. The Friends of Eddie Coyle, the based-on-fact Brink’s Job, and the more highbrow Thomas Crown Affair, come to mind. (Oh, and then there’s Celtic Pride– less of a Boston Crime film, and more of a crime against Boston.)
You can’t blame the movies for ruining the city. If those idiots didn’t have Boston movies to emulate, they’d just emulate another crime movie set in another city. Or come up with their own ways to cause trouble.
