LOCAL DOG GIVES NOD TO WALSH

October 22, 2013 By Kosta Demos 7 Comments

 

the Doctor
Jamaica Plain – At a hastily assembled press conference this morning, my dog, “Doctor”, announced his support for Rep. Martin Walsh’s bid for the Boston mayoralty.

Explaining his surprise endorsement, the popular local labrador cited Walsh’s “longstanding affection for all things warm and fuzzy.” Continued the politico-pup, “It pains me to be at odds with my master, who has chosen to cast his lot with Councilor John Connolly in this race. But in the end it comes down to which candidate really knows how to rub my tummy. I have nothing but admiration for Mr. Demos and, as fellow progressives, I am sure that we have many long walks to look forward to in the future.”

When questioned about the origin of the very large bone resting before him, the dog became defensive. “Yeah, someone gave me a bone.” he snapped, “So, I have a bone. Many dogs have bones! Just what are you implying?”

    He looks like a great dog. Smart, too. He knows it’s OK to piss on trees but not on teachers.

    Meanwhile, I’m seeing on twitter that Walsh isn’t the only one associated with PACs:

    #BosMayor 10/21 Mt @bhalpin: Guy from an “education PAC” canvassed me for Connolly today. Is Stand on Children back in the game?

    My money’s on “Democrats for Education Reform” being the ones knocking on doors for John.

    on November 22, 2013? The 50th Anniversary.

    Is he named for “The” Doctor?

    She endorsed Brownsberger. Cats are very smart animals.

    Walsh is the candidate of labor AND labs. Two crucial constituencies

.@MassGovernor’s calling the 10-town gas ban provision exclusionary zoning is misleading. #MAClimateBill will make #fossilfuel free buildings accessible to low- and moderate-income households. We need #ClimateResilientHousing. #mapoli

Massachusetts did the right thing long ago & divested in tobacco stocks. Can’t imagine @FindMassMoney wants their sponsored content on @BostonGlobe website next to that of Big Tobacco company Philip Morris. Shame on @BostonGlobe for profiting off the health of kids. #mapoli

#MAClimateBill requires towns wanting to ban #fossilfuels in new bldgs have zoning for #multifamily housing = this is crucial for giving ALL residents access to #climateresilient housing = win-win. Tell .@MassGov to sign #MAClimateBill. #NetZeroForAll #DontBlowItCharlie #mapoli
