What is a Massachusetts Liberal?
By rageagainst - 12/7/09 - 7:00 pmHey I'm just wondering what exactly is a Massachusetts liberal? Specifically how does an MA liberal differ from other liberals from other parts of the country that also have an obvious large liberal majority such as California or NY?
Bush called Kerry this during a debate some years back and I never knew what he meant by that. Does it mean a liberal who also supports gay marriage since MA was the only state to pass that law?
Any honest answers appreciated. Thanks.
What with this whole Townie/Yuppie thing in Somerville?
By rageagainst - 7/2/09 - 10:01 amO.K. so I'm moving to somerville (davis area) from brighton and I'm totally psyched because I think brighton is really lame and somerville seems so much cooler. I am also looking for a much better quality of life without having to move to the burbs' and still be very close to boston. I was drawn to it because it seemed much different in that it was artsy, diverse, laid-back, and seemed like there are real people there v.s. brighton which is filled with a lot of the same types of people-annoying preppy college kids, and sports obsessed meathead jocks. Not to mention all the trust fund drones who have no idea what life is about.
But all i keep hearing is this Yuppie v.s. Townie thing going on in somerville.
