w-w-c, the way you speak about your incoming governor-elect Patrick, one would think he was Deval, "El Diablo."
What'd ya expekt of a Clinton appointee who was labeled a "zealot" by a NY prison warden for complaining (among other things) that its basketballs were underinflated. If the color of your skin indicates that you can jump, an underinflated basketball constitutes cruel and unusual (maybe even sadistic) punishment.

As for him having the Commonwealth issuing drivers licenses to the illegals, the above article states that the feds may have pre-emptively made that goal unattainable.
What concerns the General even more than El Diablo letting them out, is a week ago Wednesday's announcement by the U.S. Mint that could find the BOP inviting YOU in (for up to 5 years), w-w-c, should you liquify a penny;

or try to leave the country with more than $5.00 in nickels and pennies in your possession;

While you might be a rabid Celtics fan, the chances are you can't jump, so spending as much as 5 years playing with underinflated basketballs as a guest of the BOP doesn't strike the General as being a crimp in your physical activities/style.
But if you're thinking of giving your grandkids a shiney new penny for Christmas, for goodness' sake, don't also show 'em how to use a blowtorch.
