Ok, we need to do something about this crap:

http://www.boston.com/ae/celebrity/articles/2007/01/11/kerry_loses_the_burger_vote/

Seriously. Letters. Phone calls. Macaroni art. Let's get that burger back up there.

Bartley's Burger Cottage
1246 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA
617-354-6559

a five minute walk from there. AND I do eat there on occasion.

They will be hearing from me.

and when the waitress comes, look at her sadly and say that "You reallyt really wanted the Kerry burger and could they please make one." (assuming they weren't horrible.)

demand Kerry on a bun. :)

and Whome and others around here, am I right in sensing a certain general air in the, er, decor of the place of political cynicism? During the Clinton years, several rude photomanipped pictures appeared on the walls and I'll have to go in and check their take on the Kennedys.

I only eat there 2-3 times a year but I've always sort of looked for a Kerry burger and never noticed one. I have run into the original owners a couple of times in the last few months around town and next time I see Mrs. B. I will tell her to tell her son to shape up! I will also call tomorrow and tell them to reinstall the burger and then tell the Globe they've done so (if all that happened, any bets on whether the Globe would print a retraction? I don't think so either...)

than any lawmaker in modern history and ask why that would embarrass him so much? Obama hasn't done ANYTHING in his two years that is even CLOSE to what Kerry did in his first two years.

Obama helped to THWART the Downing Street Memo investigation and Alito filibuster. He talked against the filibuster and then pretended he was for it when he got the backlash. Now he wants the congress to NOT investigate Bush's lies leading up to Iraq war. Utter bullshit.

That burger guy is UNINFORMED - he should turn the corporate TV off and read the congressional record for a change.

Now, if someone gets me the e-mail or address of the jerk that apparently is embarrassed by kerry, I will write him and ask him exactly what he has to be embarrassed about except his own ignorance.

The place is so famous, I can't believe they don't have their own website - but apparently they don't.

Yes, it's kind of stupid and trivial as an isolated thing. But put it next to stuff like heyjohn.com, and you start to see a pattern of institutionalized rudeness and dismissiveness directed at JK, and he just doesn't deserve that.

which also makes Obama look bad, and he (and Kerry) doesn't deserve that either.

on Obama?

It was pretty funny - Jon Stewart was talking about all the long-serving senators on the Foreign Relations Committee, and their wealth of knowledge and experience, and then they cut to about 3 or 4 different tv interviews - ALL of them with Obama.

That had to have been funny. I see if I can catch a rerun of the show.

mocking the newscasters. Olbermann was one of them. ;-)

Thanks. :hi:

The most important position in America and we are just suppose to hand it over to the popular kid. I hope Americans Get a clue in 08. Just look what happens when we elect just anyone for President. You know, we haven't had a great president in many years. I personally don't think Clinton was great.We are about due.

senator's record.

(And not to say the Obama shouldn't be up there. But putting one up at the other's expense is petty.)

whometense and luftmenschen, want to coordinate something? Send me a PM or email if you want to get together. .

who won't be able to get to Boston?

Anyone want to deliver our messages? Or do you think it better to mail them?

I'd certainly be happy to help with the delivery. Mail also could have its own impact, tooThe restaurant is famous for having lots of posters, etc on its walls. We might be able to help them with-- ahem- their decor. . ?:)

Count me in on any delivery plans. :-) Should we find a nice photo with an extra-special TIE (I vote for the fish tie, of course) to offer them for the wall?

I'd be happy to go along too.

I don't have your email: maybe you could pm me and Luftmensch so we can coordinate?. . Luftmensch and I talked about getting together this weekend to strategize. .

a message. Any ideas? Please put suggestions here or PM MBS, Whome or me.

LOL! I see Whome and I were writing at the same time! Anyway, what she said. :-)

I thought I was reading the freeper blogs.

If you feel like writing something with your trademark light-tone-that-masks-its-deadly-snark it would be most welcome.

I got an email from someone who doesn't have a star here but read this post:

"did some research and phoned the Cambrige CofC and received this email address: keoshea1@hotmail.com. According to CofC, they do not have a current web site."
