[Mass]

Photos of the signature of the healthcare bill published by the BG. Two women on the largest photo. No minorities. Desperately telling.

1. Looks like Romney needs some big cue cards too

because he will forget what he is there for is he doesn't have those signs, right?

2. You mean the rich white Italian and Irish guys?

3. Yep - I remember my amazement when, after DiMasi became Speaker,

some local TV pundit said that the political landscape in Massachusetts was getting more diverse. His point: 3 Italian guys in 3 important seats : DiMasi, Menino, and Travaglini.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

6. At least the city councils are more diverse

Boston, Cambridge, Lowell, Lynn, etc. Some of the state reps and state senators are minorities and women, but the power mongers are still Irish and Italian.

8. Hey, the Italians are pretty new to the positions of power.

Used to be just the Irish guys. To them, the addition of the Italians IS diversity! :rofl:

4. People of Italian and Irish decent

that just about covers it right? What's the problem?
