Flaherty picks up a police endorsement

Wicked Local Roslindale posts the Boston Police Superior Officers Federation endorsement of Michael Flaherty.

David Bernstein, meanwhile, writes up some of the more interesting fundraising tidbits of late - for example, Sam Yoon doesn't have the Asian money completely sewn up.

If you are like me, I typically read UH for Adam's witty summaries and the cool pictures - and a bit of spirited political banter and policy debate with my nemesis Gareth. Curiosity led me to click through to the original post - wow - Adam - I'm surprised this didn't make the main page - rare to see such vitriol from a small but very visible union against the man in the corner office:

After unsuccessfully trying to work with the same person for the last 16 years, it is clear that Boston needs a change. The current administration’s calculated reduction in the number of our members has put Boston at risk, decreasing the supervision our members provide.

The daily micromanagement and politicization of the department negatively affects our ability to effectively police and protect our city.

Our district captains are merely spoken to rather than being listened to as the most knowledgeable and professional leaders in our department.

Teflon Tom can probably dust this right off - but it still had to sting at least a little.

You're not qualified to be Gareth's nemesis.

...after the bruising you took in the last round Gareth when about half a dozen people agreed with me, none with you and some called you out for obstinately sticking to your losing argument. Dust it off and come on back out (but please under your own name for a change Gareth, Milton, Sock Puppet or whoever you are).

You know, we could sit here and call each other names and talk past each other, but that gets pretty boring after a few minutes. Unlike you, I like reality much better than theory.

So how about we check back when the 2010 rates are announced, and see if there is a 10% or greater increase. If so, you were right. If not, I was. QED.

Until then, keep me out of your stupid arguments. It was briefly funny to see you wriggling on the floor like the Black Knight screaming "It's only a flesh wound," but that movie goes on to other things. You, on the other hand, hang around like a bad smell.

You fooled me once, but you'll never fool me again, Milton! If that really is your name! I thought your argument made so much sense, but you were just making up crazy shit because I'll believe anything if I think one of the lords of EconoBabble is saying it.

I'm going to go cry now. Mommy!

Please post under your own name - no matter how sarcastic the commentary.

Create a passworded account and you wouldn't have said problem. (Wasn't me above, just sayin'.)

Creating an account is probably a good idea, but people shouldn't *have* to do that.

Nobody wants to see sniping and such on UH.

We are nothing, if not a classy bunch.
