Neat! Although given our govenor's family history, I think a fleet of 70's AMC Pacers and Gremlins would be more appropriate. Would lend a certain Wayne's World aura to the already wacky Beacon Hill crowd.

(for non-Baystaters...Mitt Romney's dad was CEO of American Motors in the early 1970s)

"Top officials and deputies at the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, the Massachusetts Port Authority, and the MBTA all drove SUVs in 1999. The rationale in some cases was that the officials sometimes traveled off-road, though actual instances of leaving pavement were never documented."

Oh yeah, I remember many a time having to dodge all those 'on-duty- MBTA officials while off-roading through the wilds of Massachusetts........

Clearly, xpcdoojk, you haven't been to Massachusetts in quite some time. I believe you're confusing the actual composition of our state with it's national image.

This place is crawling with Republicans.

I hear them a lot better, thanks for your concern.

I paid for it, 'tho I could have got it for less in Canada.
We could give free medical coverage to all legal citizens if we cut out half of the waste in congress. The illegal aliens in prison get it free right now.

BTW, I use Amsoil, so I can't be all bad.

My gf is almost completly deaf so the ADA has special meaning for us. She is incredibly intelligent but would never have been able to go to college withou the ADA.

Unfortunately, because of ignorant people like rush who only point out the abuses that happen to any large program, while ignoring the good they do the entire credit program is discredited.
