Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The Boston PD at work, live


Live manhunt, here. It's sort-of addictive, especially with the local accents: "They're bringin' sammiches to the troopahs."  "We have a small cah, a Honder here heading up Bahston Boulevahd." Mostly Irish, some Italian, all Bahston.


The professionalism is impressive, but not surprising. They shut down the entire city, and Watertown, to find this bad guy, but have obviously not found him yet. Any accomplices, I am sure, are being sought off radio.

Why shut down a whole city for 1 man? Whatever happen to the posse? Of course Mass has also taken away all the guns from the citizens. Must wait for their keepers to say everything is OK.

Today the Boston police commissioner told the public, there is a terrorist on the loose, and he wants to kill some people, oh, and don't open your door.

Rational people will look at that door and think, that door isn't much protection, I wish I had a gun to stop this guy if he decided to force himself into my house and kill my family.

They are very good and follow the Incident Command/Control procedure to the letter.

Excellent communications - they are very good.

It's like the end of Farenheit 451- except this guy deserves what's coming to him.

Fascinating? Exotic? Bahstan accents strike me, an escapee from the Bay State many years ago, as harsh, grating, and lowbrow. But what do I know?
