Romney suddenly wants to spend 600 million large

on a "jobs creation program", apparently he is still getting the Boston Papers out on the hustings and is worried about persistent unemployment in his fiefdom. Preditably, the proposal is the usual mixture of conservative boilerplate: i.e. cuts in the unemployment tax, business tax incentives, a bigger billboards that SHOUT the imperial glory of the Bay State, and of course a cut in unemployment benefits-saw that one coming now didn't you?
The usual policy dreckola, the same old crap from the governor and his smirking staff of smart-alecks and know it alls. Ghod even Decaf's ideas are boring and tattered.

Just once I'd like to see the GOP deal with a pressing economic or social problem without recourse to their favorite universal panacea, the tax cut. Still and all that, the govenor is doing hsi fair share to keep us working, certainly he is keeping the curbside baggage handlers at Logan Airport busy with all his goings and goings and goings.

If only we could quietly move the state without leaving any forwarding address the next time Romney is out sucking up to the wowsers in Utah or Kentucky. Of course that would leave us with Kerry Healey's name on the letterhead, but she has to ask for a hall pass to use the little girl's room so lets not worry about her shall we?
