Walks Like a Duck, Quacks Like a Duck
March 04, 2004
You'd think that Democrats would be smart enough to hold their 2004 national convention somewhere like say, Kansas City, or Dallas. But no, they opted for Boston. Which prompted Republican former House Majority Leader Dick Armey to say last year, "If I were a Democrat, I would feel a heck of a lot more comfortable in Boston, than say, America." Now, in the current issue of Boston Magazine, Armey is apolologizing. Except, as the magazine reports, he was essentially correct. Boston is very different. The magazine researched the matter and found that: ...Bostonians are more likely to have university educations, are far more likely to have Ph.Ds, are more likely to read daily newspapers, make more money, buy more books, listen to more classical music, have the highest attendance rates at cultural events, own fewer guns, are less likely to be obese or smoke cigarettes, are more likely to work out, and are less likely to shop at Wal-Mart. In other words, they're effete liberal fops, with no comprehension whatever of essential stuff like barbeque, Merle Travis, and target practice. Armey was right the first time around.

How exactly can one live without barbeque? For high culture, nothing beats tending the Weber wielding a barbeque tool in one hand and a glass of cab in the other. I'm partial to Aussie reds.

Oh,and the reason why there's more people likely to have university educations here is because there's alot of universities in the city. Duh. Gee Jack, that hurts. Time for another glass. Apparently, Boston and Toronto lack a sense of humor. Posted by: Gary B at March 4, 2004 02:25 PMWay to stalk buddy. Oh, and a cab? Cabs are so 1999. Wow! You sure put me in my place. All of your wisdom and advice is certainly appreciated. Posted by: Gary B at March 5, 2004 07:36 AMAnytime buddy! Glad to know you didn't take it the wrong way this time. Jack, You're much funnier with invective. Posted by: Gary B at March 5, 2004 08:31 AMPost a comment
