40,000 unemployed here in Massachusetts just got

left in the lurch because our well compensated painfully high minded Junior Senator refused to extend their benefits in a US Senate vote this week.
Apparently he had his jockey's all in a bunch because the extension wasn't "funded", although last week he was desperate to pass along the cost of financial regulatory reform to the American People rather than levy any taxes on the bankers and financial profligates that touched off the current recession.
Well you can't say Scott Brown isn't consistent, he was been all about "I got mine Jack" from the moment he was elected, why a churlish move like this should amaze anyone is beyond me.
Still 40,000 is a plurality in a tight election, so if any of those unemployed unfortunates wanted to pick up and say set up a "holiday weekend shanty town" down in Wrentham this weekend, just to nudge the Former State Senator in the ribs well, I'd say godspeed and good luck.
