An enemy is dead. Good. We need more of that. I don't care how he died, I really don't. End results count, and the end result is that an enemy is dead. It's a good day. I keep my pity for someone more deserving.
Ya Think!!!!
I agree!I'm gay about it, one less POS to campaign to take away people's rights, to promote violence against others, to raise ****ing taxes, to foster the athmosphere of corruption.
I get it, dude blessed some youth hockey thing construction etc. The kind of damage these commies do, the kind of aggravation they bring (like innocent Marsha) is multiplied the higher they climb.
So what about the harm these parasites bring onto other people? You peasants need to spread your buttcheecks wider and thank your glorious rulers for another foot deeper into your colon.
am I the only bastard who finds it quite ironic that the "welcome to Boston Signs" still read "Mayor Thomas A. Menino" at the bottom?
It was somewhat funny a few weeks ago seeing as Walsh has been mayor for months, but now a dead man is listed as mayor.
Now that is some Boston Strong.
OK, I'm buying what you're selling. My first reaction is to feel bad for his family....but they're probably socialist *******s too!
They're going to be enjoying all the loot he stashed away all these years. At least he won't be.

WTF, they cancelled wheel of fortune to talk about mumbles.

Iirc its because a lot of those signs are due up to be replaced in the next couple years anyways, Walsh said it makes more sense for the city to just replace them incrementally as needed rather than do them all at once.
I have nothing good to say about Mumbles or his politics but it's still unfortunate that he died of cancer so early into his retirement. R.I.P. Mumbles.
i dodnt live in boston, so i could care less one way or the other. But i do vomit a little in my mouth whenever people get on tv/radio and try to reminice about "How Wonderful" some dead politician was. They are supposed to be servants of the people. Why are they treated like gods if they happen to do a modestly acceptable job while in office?
Boris, come on. Hitler murdered 6 million people. Stalin murdered millions of people. Mumbles murdered what? A few too many calzones?
The public service stuff pisses me off with all of them. Maybe you can say Romney was a public servant as governor because he did it for free and did not take a paycheck. Meninio got paid something like $175k/yr, plus pension, health ins, etc. Where is a brain dead twit like him going to make over $50k if not for the gov't. Kennedy made millions and died with a $10 million total sum pension.
If you get paid for it, it's not public service, it's a job. And many of these like menino go into gov't poor or average and leave rich and help friends and family feed off the working people and get rich.
Do your friends agree with you on everything?Cancer is communist and no, I'm not sorry for this POS nor for any other commies in this state. Good riddance.
Some of you who are deriding him seem incapable of listening to any ideas that don't agree with your own. I'm probably as principled as anyone, but I'm pretty sure that my ideas aren't always right and others are not always wrong.
I don't think it has anything to do with that, really- and has everything to do with the fact that a huge part of his "work" was to suppress people's rights. That's a tough pill to swallow, that's not like getting into a disagreement over the mayor not doing enough to fix potholes or something. The problem is that after a point it crosses a line between being "just politics" and being personal. Having a policy in place which effectively strips citizens of their rights might as well be him pinching a loaf on someone's thanksgiving dinner. That's why people here have such derision for the guy. If it was simply a matter of him being an inept socialist people could probably let that go, but it went way beyond that.

And if you dared go against him or you didn't go kiss the ring before wanting to develop a building, etc. he would use the gov't to attack you. That pizza shop owner embarassed mumbles with the pro bush sign and the hetchmen went to thump him. He may have let people speak this mind, but he didn't care what you were saying. It was mumbles way or no way. He ran Boston like chicago is run. He fell into the job when flynn left early and used the levers to stay in power and line his friends and families pockets. I'm not missing him.

On April 25, 2006, Menino and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg hosted a summit at Gracie Mansion in New York City, during which the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition was formed. The coalition, of which Menino remained co-chair until the finality of his mayorality, stated its goal of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets."
“Now is the time to turn words into action, now is the time to mobilize, one million people who signed our Demand A Plan petition for the sake of the 33 lives lost every day to gun violence.”
With Menino and Patrick scheduled to testify in favor of new gun control measures, the State House hearing will swing the spotlight back onto the highly charged issue nine months after the school shootings in Newtown, Conn.

He absolutely voted. I'd bet money he filed an absentee ballot (unfortunately).
heard on the news he voted two weeks ago.
