…Wake up Teddy Kennedy before you turn off the lights

Jeff Jacoby at Townhall explores the mass exodus of people from Massachusetts:

This is a state in which a tax cut can be decisively approved by the voters yet never go into effect. In which grocers can be prosecuted for pricing milk too low. In which archaic blue laws decree when shops may and may not open for business. In which local officials have been known to heatedly object to opening town meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance. In which a $2 billion Big Dig ends up costing $14 billion. In which Ted Kennedy keeps getting reelected.

Is it really any wonder so many people are fleeing Massachusetts? Maybe the real mystery is why so many of us stay.

I just can’t imagine living around people stupid enough to re-elect Teddy Kennedy over-and-over again. Of course it hasn’t risen to the level of idiocy that existed when the Republican voters of South Carolina kept re-electing Strom Thurmond to the Senate long after he was legally-brain dead (Thurmond didn’t leave office until he was 100 years old).

One Response to “The Last Person Out of Massachusetts”

I just couldn’t pass this one up. So I hear the good Senator has a love child from his wilder days. He vehemently denies him, of course. Apparently he dumped mom after she refused to abort his child. No wonder he’s so concerned about Alito overturning Roe v Wade.. I really don’t know why…the old grey stallion he aint what he used to be…ain’t what he used to be…

Got something you want to say?
