So last night FirstMateDan and I were checking out the free concert at Government Center when we heard that Mayor Menino would be speaking a bit. So inspired by Menino's unfair treatment of unions and how much money the DNC lost the city and how much trouble it causes it's inhabitants, Dan and I grabbed some cardboard from a trash can and made some quick signs (mine read "This Monday the gov't stole the overtime of 6 million workers. Can YOU help them, Tom?") and held them as he walked on stage. He barked a few remarks at us, and told us that the taking away overtime (almost half of most worker's wages) was Bush's fault (yes, Tom we know. But we are asking YOU to help. You is part of that government after all) then told us to "Go play in traffic." How sweet. Glad to know those who are representing us would like us hit by cars. His response was quite amusing, but then we went and enjoyed the music (sans any games with speeding cars) and perhaps gave him some food for thought? We hope...
Love and revolution, Capt'nLaura

Don't we all just love politicians? Menino can also be faulted for never speaking against the Free Speech Zone (along with his terrible job to get union contracts at the last minute to save face). Please note that Menino is a Democrat.
