threatening the nation with a Presidential campaign.
"I have never been this serious" or so he told the Associated Press.
Amend that to read "I have never been serious" and you get the real scope of the picture, Newt doesn't have the guts to run for President not with the many many dancing skeletons in his closet. He does love phat speaking fees as well as seeing his name in the newspapers. Hence his annual flirtation with the White House.
He is akin to a fat spoiled brat who keeps threatening to run away if he doesn't start getting chocolate cream pie for Breakfast immediately.
He won't do it, trust me, there is a deficit of guts there.
Still, if he did, it would be glorious mah frenz.
Imagine a debate where Mitt Romney jammed between Gingrich and his sophomoric intellectualism and Sarah Palin's light as ashes phony populism, the Former Viceroy won't know who to pander to...
Meanwhile Rick "High Pitched Rich" Santorum is clearly running for President while Jeb Bush has taken himself out of the race.
I suspect Jeb might wanna go his Dad's route and maybe try to grab off the Vice Presidential nomination, but then again I have a hard time believing a Made Member of La Famiglia Arbusto would ever take orders from Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney for that fact.
But sweet Jesus the GOP debates that are shaping up!
Romney v. Palin v. Santorum v. Gingrich they may as well book the auditorium at the Concord New Hampshire State Mental Hospital now...It'll be that good.

Casinos v. Slots
Two bad ideas for the price of one.
Sadly twenty four hours ago, it looked like gaming wasn't gonna pass this session now everyone has gone bubbering down the aisle weeping and coming to Jesus.
Good Ghod on this rubbish they come together and compromise!
Can't get these mooks on Beacon Hill to do shit about C.O.R.I. reform or the scandals at the Probation Department but they will go all night in extraordinary session to save blackjack and roulette.
We've outlawed dog racing in the Commonwealth and yet we are about to legalize the running people into bankruptcy by way of casinos and slot machines....am I the only one who sees the irony?
Slots at Suffolk Downs by the way will be the death of horse racing in Massachusetts, the ponies will become irrelevant and downscale in every way, they are poised on the brink of that now but trust me, slots will send them right over the edge.
Massachusetts is about to jump off a cliff hope everyone is ready for a long long fall mah frenz.

Thought for the Day....
Whatever happened to Bill Weld?
Is he still haunting the streets of the Upper West Side of Manhattan like the Ghost of GOP Past?
Will he come back to Massachusetts to try and jumpstart Charlie "Ziplips" Baker's moribund gubernatorial campaign?
Schedule a few appearances in North Cambridge so as to make Last Call at the Summer Shack?
Honestly, Ziplips the nearest thing to a protege' Bill Weld has...He can't cut Baker dead can he?

To paraphrase the late Earl K. Long,
"Scott Brown loves money the way a hog loves slop".
And like a hog, Scott couldn't care less how he gets his $lop or where it comes from.
Which is why, he voted against a mere disclosure law yesterday in the US Senate, something that would have simply increased transparency, not addressed much less restrict the malignant sources of Big Time campaign finance.
Nope..."Keep them $lop$ a comin' "cries Scott.
Are these the actions of a "true independent voice for Massachusetts"?
No, they are the actions of a toady for Mitch McConnell and sundry Malefactors of Great Wealth.
Granted Scott can be bribed and bamboozled as we have seen in other cases, but this is about $lop$ and there Scott votes his conscience or in this case his campaign account.

"A Good Five Cent Cigar"
Is what the country needed or so opined the late Vice President of the United States, Thomas Marshall.
The Great and General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts takes a different view, they say that what we really need is casino gambling.
And as you can see here, every mook, chowderhead, skygrifter and porch climber on Beacon Hill has an opinion about casinos that they are desperate to share with the Boston Globe.
This stands in stark contract to This Article about the alleged chiseling, mismanagement & patronage abuses that are allegedly rampant at the Commonwealth's Probation Department, not a single member of the state legislature is therein quoted on this serious sitation.
They got quotes from Da Governor (all the way from Kabul) the Acting Commissioner of Probation, the Inspector General and various relevant solons...but the lege?
Nada.
Dead silence.
Well I guess none of them folks wanna out Cousin Billy or Uncle Goddamn or whoever else they shoved behind a desk over at Probation.
If they aren't willing to discuss with the Boston Globe then it's sure as God Made Little Green Apples that they will never call a hearing on any of this mishaugas.
I would speculate, that absent such a hearing, that certain persons on Beacon Hill have too much to hide with respect to the matter.

Yesterday...
The Boston Globe ran a fourth Spotlight Team expose on the widespread chiseling, payroll padding and allegedly corrupt goings at the Commonwealth Probation Department, chicanery that totals up to tens of millions of dollars being wasted if the allegations are true.
Meanwhile the Boston Herald ran a caricature of John Kerry on it's front page depicting the Senior Senator as a pirate complete with the usual snarkage from GOP fundraiser and comedian Howie Carr.
I leave it up to my readers (all seven of you) to calculate which daily newspaper is serving the public more faithfully and honestly.
Meanwhile four bombshells have detonated on the front page of the Globe regarding the Probation Department and still the State Legislature hasn't held so much as one hearing into the allegations nor even scheduled the Governor's bill to reform said institution for a vote.
We can't even run the Probation Department without some two hundred and fifty deadheads swarming in and millions of dollars being wasted, and Beacon Hill is actually panting to introduce casino gambling to the state.
Good Lord image the patronage and chiseling opportunities that will afford...

On the other hand...
imagine how much fun the 2012 New Hampshire Primary would be, if say Jeb Bush, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich all piled in?
With Piyush "Bobby" Jindal along to play the Bob Denver role and provide some poetry and jazz?
Geezus I think I'd move up there for a freakshow like that!
Nothing but over-class warfare and division twenty four-seven, each vying with the others thru the daily news cycle to proclaim the stupidest and crudest wingnut sound byte.
Shit Romney versus Bush alone would be worth the price of admission, Mitt has always been a faithful lackey of La Famiglia Arbusto (remember when he scored Jeb's endorsement in 2007) imagine his resentment at Jeb's turnabout...and here Mitt wanted to take Jeb on as his VP candidate in '08 and all!
HA!
Well, Mitt has always been a amateur at politics, even now. He still doesn't realize that La Famiglia Arbusto is out for themselves and themselves alone, they demand loyalty and return nothing comparable in return.
That would be a very entertaining primary all told here is hopin'.
