The radio news sez that no less a stalwart than Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge is going to drop by the Hub today to lay 30 million on Mitt Romney AND to inspect the harbor's anti terrorism measures.
No doubt Ridge will accompanied on this boat tour by the seemingly indestructible Joe Lawless now the Port of Boston's security director but last seen as Logan Airport's top cop on September 11th 2001.
That was a bad day for Joe (also known as former Governor Bill Weld's trusty chauffeur), some fifteen Al Queda terrorists boarded three passengers jets and flew em' into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
When the smoke cleared Joe made some hapless grunting sounds and was quietly transferred with pay scale intact to the same job down on the docks.
Such is the manner that this flinty puritan Commonwealth punishes ineptitude and torpidity among it's political appointees....DAMN but it's retribution like this that puts the fear of an angry ghod into the payroll patriots!
More than likely Joe is out there on the water even as I write this citing all the "improvements" he has made since he took over, and if the boat capsizes fear not, Joe will survive it.
If he can survive 9-11 he can survive anything...hell Ridge can use him as a life preserver.
MEANWHILE our Governor, the hoar and mighty Willard Mitt Romney is moving heaven and earth to depose Billy Bulger from the Presidency of the State University System.
Billy is apparently a little too shady for Mitt's comfort...this I don't contest.
Bulger, pedant though he is, has always been a preening dishonest little hammerhead...I couldn't care less if he was shot out of cannon and into solitary confinement in Cedar Junction.
His days are numbered at Umass I can feel it.
And you know what? Good effin' riddance to him-Bulger was always way too palsy with pie eyed old Bill Weld for me.
But it is a sad comment on what times we do live in when Bulger's sins are rated unendurable whilst Joe Lawless the poster boy for neglect and stupidity is sittin' pretty on the high road to a carefree retirement.
Sick
Demented
Typical.
