Baseball lost one of the greats today

Bob "Mr. Baseball" Uecker passed away this morning. He was not the best baseball player but he did more for the game of baseball than anyone ever did.

I will miss his self-deprecating humor, his analysis of the game and his great one-liners.

So the politicians of Massachusetts are concerned that Trump is going to end all of the off-shore wind turbine projects and spend the money on fossil fuel projects.

Congressman Bill Keating (D - Cape Cod) is quoted as saying,

"Pulling out the rug from under one energy sector to prop up another is not governing. It's playing politics."

My response to that self-centered, arrogant sentence is, "So Bill, when you say "playing politics", do you mean like when the Massachusetts legislature pulled the rug out from under the LNG pipeline in favor of wind farms? That kind of politics?"

Idiots. We elect idiots in this state...
