Liking Governor Patrick a little more

By

Hi All:

While watching the news tonight, Governor Patrick was asked by a reporter, “Can you tell us what you and Speaker DeLeo discussed regarding casino gambling?” Governor Patrick retorted, “‘ I can, but I’m not gonna.'”

It made me like Governor Patrick a little more because it showed he has a sense of humor, something that is severely lacking in our public officals nowadays.

Respectfully Submitted,

Sincerely,

  1. Casinos and gambling will not magically solve all our fiscal woes!

    p>The Governor is a real down to earth guy.  But I still have issues with gambling as a panacea.

    p>What pol wouldn’t want to tell a reporter, “Yes I know, but I’m not gonna tell you.”  

    <

    p>Go Governor Patrick!

  2. …the same time as most of the State House.  That is to say, when a lobbyist-authored giveaway bill for casino “investors” is bum-rushed through the Legislature, accompanied by panic-talk about balancing the budget.  

    <

    p>Hahaha.

  3. Major policy being formed entirely out of public view! By a person who was never elected statewide and yet wields huge power and a governor who barely discussed casinos while running for office, yet has made it one of his major goals thus far!

    p>Hilarious.

  4. I almost blew sugary drink out my nose when he started talking about the tax increase on drinks, “this is a critical first step in discouraging the consumption of these empty calories…”  and then, “I think dedicating those funds to nutrition and wellness services is a wise decision.”  What a sense of humor.

    p>So funny, he actually pretended it wasn’t just a blatant tax increase when said it with a straight face.  Total deadpan sincerity. Just so, I feel like giving up booze, candy and sugary drinks so that I have more energy to feel angry and deprived.

    • Hi All:

      p>While I was at the convenience store last night, I saw a woman paid $50 cash for her cell phone then promptly paid for a ginger ale and a king size Snickers with her EBT card.

      <

      p>What’s up with that?
