Not In My Backyard

I understand.

Amid the grief that still envelops this community we have been forced to wrestle with the disturbing question of where the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who plotted the deaths of our friends and neighbors, will be buried.

Frankly we’d prefer that he join Osama bin Laden in a watery grave. But given that unlikely outcome the best alternative is to see his remains returned to Russia, where he was born, where his parents have chosen to return to live, and where he was a citizen at the time of his death.

Gov. Deval Patrick yesterday said, “This isn’t a state or federal issue, it’s the family’s issue.” And technically he’s right.

Freedom Is A Light For Which Many Men Have Died In Darkness

Bear with me for a week or so.  I won’t be posting much.  I have a graduation to attend in Philadelphia.  I’ll try to share more with you if I can just get the itsy bitsy phone to work so that I can post.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lies within Washington Square, one of the five public parks drawn up by William Penn in his 1682 blueprint for Philadelphia. In 1954, the Washington Square Planning Committee decided to erect a memorial that honored both George Washington and an unknown soldier from the Revolutionary War.

 

Note To State Sen. Harriet L. Chandler & Peter Stefan

The US is under no obligation to find the rotting sob’s carcass a burial plot.  Quite frankly, if the family can pay for a second autopsy (wtf for?), let them figure it out.  I don’t even think anyone associated with Hoffa’s disappearance would take this on.

State Sen. Harriet L. Chandler, D-Worcester, said Uncle Sam needs to alleviate a Wochester funeral home’s onerous burden of having accepted Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s corpse on Friday after it was released by the state medical examiner.

Peter Stefan, owner of the Graham, Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors has told The Boston Herald his business has been beset by protesters since accepting the body, and he cannot book any new business until convincing a cemetery to provide a plot for the body.

It is unfortunate that Peter Stefan took the carcass to begin with.  What did he expect?  Cry me a river because many of us have the most microscopic violin when it comes to mass murderers.

And who sold guns to the Mexicans?

Barack and Eric did.

“Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum. “I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will.”

“But at the same time, as I’ve said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States. It’s the right thing to do,” Obama added.

You Go Collegno’s Pizzaria! Give Him A Taste Of His Own Medicine

Note:  The Daily Currant is a global satirical news blog.   This is satire.

Nanny Bloomberg should have gotten a calorie count slice imo, but this was okay too.

Bloomberg was having an informal working lunch with city comptroller John Liu at the time and was enraged by the embarrassing prohibition. The owners would not relent, however, and the pair were forced to decamp to another restaurant to finish their meal.

Witnesses say the situation unfolded when as the two were looking over budget documents, they realized they needed more food than originally ordered.

“Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?” Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.

“I’m sorry sir,” he replied, “we can’t do that. You’ve reached your personal slice limit.”

Confirmed: POTUS IS Ignorant About ObamaCrapCare

The IBD asks how ignorant is he about what he has pushed into law  shoved down our throats.   VERY, when it comes to what his lackeys have done to the USA.  Obviously, he hasn’t read it.

Asked about increasing Democratic concern over what Sen. Max Baucus called a looming ObamaCare “train wreck,” Obama claimed that it’s all much ado about very little.

But almost nothing he said in defense of ObamaCare was accurate. Among his statements:

“A huge chunk of it’s already been implemented.”

In fact, all that’s been implemented so far are a few PR-friendly changes like a mandate to cover children up to age 26 and a more generous Medicare drug benefit.

Democrats put off the bulk of the law — the massive market regulations, the government-run exchanges, mandates to buy coverage, and various taxes and fees—until 2014, both to hide its true costs and to avoid any unpleasantness before the 2012 elections.

“For the 85% to 90% of Americans who already have health insurance … they don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Really? The Congressional Budget Office expects 7 million workers — and possibly as many as 20 million — will lose their employer coverage because of ObamaCare. That’s plenty to worry about.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said millions of seniors will get dumped from their private Medicare Advantage plans by 2017 thanks to sharp payment cuts required by the law.

And small businesses now providing coverage face huge rate hikes thanks to ObamaCare’s many market regulations and benefit mandates. Maryland’s biggest insurer, nonprofit CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, said ObamaCare will force rates up by 15% next year.

“The other stuff’s been implemented and it’s working fine.”

That’s only true if you ignore the fact that ObamaCare’s high-risk pools have been a disaster, attracting a third as many people as predicted while costing far more than the administration budgeted.

Something She Will Never Forget

Who says a “real” man can’t sew?

A parent’s love often is limitless. And like many parents, there isn’t much David Herron of Marshfield won’t do for his children. When his youngest daughter, Mariah, 17, became frustrated trying to find an affordable prom dress made out of camouflage fabric, she asked him if he would make her dress.

And two months later, Mariah was outfitted in her winter white camo colored prom dress ready to attend the Marshfield High School Junior Prom with her date and friends.

“I jokingly asked my dad if he could make me a prom dress. When he said yes, I was surprised,” Herron said. The greater surprise was that the dress he made was really nice, she said.

In the military, David Herron learned to sew his stripes and hem his uniforms.

“I’m pretty good with straight seams and about two years ago, my wife gave me a sewing machine. I’ve made some quilts and pillows, but this dress was something else,” he said.
