Start a right-wing message board with a bunch of anti-Obama tees, stickers, coffee cups, hats. Your economy will improve.

I'm glad it is over with.
Not happy with Barney being re-elected by a landslide, obviously people in this state are uninformed:(
I have faith the country will get thru this economic crisis, if not, we're screwed.

Not bad, but that image would not print well and lacks resonance with people under 40.
One would need to come up with a cultural touchstone that is nearly universal, one that trancends all ages, incomes, and shades of white people.

Did you really? Place wasnt bad, not too mention the sub $2 beers and $3 shots. :cheers2:

The city shut it down right before the starbucks-abercrombie and only-banks-can-afford-the-lease takeover of central square. That was a sad day. The handful of bar fights didnt help either, but it was a place close to the old neighborhoods heart. It was one of last great bars on Mass Ave this side of the Charles but I guess good things dont last forever. When woolworths left central, I knew the big money seige was on...

I liked the place. I shot darts (and worked) at Father's Too outside of Kenmore and we would frequently play against the A-Team at CPS. I thoroughly enjoyed beating their Ace more often than not because he was a cocky basstird, kissing his trophies and such trying to intimidate us :shocked: :buds: :jester:.

Missed the Buck-A-Shot we used to come with on a monthly basis off the cheap end of the speedrack. Also miss the 1$ Busch bottles when things got tight just before a paycheck...

Yep - good (dive) bars :cheers:

I wouldn't be surprised if most of those good old haunts are gone, The Tam, Father's Fifth, Beacon Hill Pub, Back Bay Pub, etc...

I miss the Golden Donut in Central Square.

Apparently 202,254 others thought he deserved another chance, I didn't and was informed.

You wanna keep a man in office that is not helping to fix what he himself had a lot to do with screwing up the fannie mae crap, go ahead, make your day(can he share his wealth with me, I could use it). Time to get out those responsible for F'ing up the economy. Who has he answered to? That whole bailout thing is a joke and those who profited can rot in hell. The other candidate would have done a fine job with access and fishermen issues, unfortunately he didn't get the chance,






this time.

:deadhorse::deadhorse:



Mac, that is funny

Mike P 11-05-2008 09:16 PM

At least someone ran against Frank.

Down here, Delahunt ran unopposed. 70% of the offices on my ballot only had one candidate. :(

but my greatest issue with the thought of McCain winning was that he would not flush DC of those who were responsible for getting us in the mess that we are in in regards to Iraq..
Does that include all of the Democratic Senators who voted for the war?? Or just the Republicans?

Nebe 11-05-2008 10:37 PM

considering they were all lied to? I dont think so.

Heads will roll 1 year from now.

Rockport24 11-05-2008 10:53 PM

I"m not too surprised by the responses on this board. After all, Obama didn't do too well with white men.

Of course it isn't going to happen overnight, but I really do have faith Obama can at least lay the groundwork for getting us out of this mess. Like him or hate him, the people have spoken and he will be our President.

My fear is that San Francisco morals will soon be shoved down our throats with the likes of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid now in complete unchecked control.

Like Tolerance? Acceptance? I'm confused on what you mean here...

You wouldn't have to drive him. He has his own Cadillac:rotf2:

There's a priest just over the border in one of the more affluent CT towns driving a 7 series BMW completely loaded.
