An Encounter In Watertown (MA) Square
2015-12-13
In which Rantburg's own Raj has a small but satisfying adventure.
I was going to a client in Belmont yesterday morning to do some year-end tax stuff when I drove through Watertown Square, a huge lefty section of Eastern Massachusetts. I spotted two Bernie Sanders supporters holding signs, with one sign urging people to 'Honk for Bernie'. During a minute at the stoplight, I noticed a number of people in BMW's and Mercedes cars doing just that with huge smiles on their faces while doing so.

I had a different approach. Recalling the opening scene of 'Die Hard With a Vengeance', I rolled down my window and yelled out 'What The Fuck?' and started abusing both of them. Among other things, I yelled out - 'He doesn't have a prayer in hell - he wants a 90% top tax rate - he's a fucking socialist!' The bearded guy says - 'I'm not gonna pay that rate!'. So I yell back - 'That's because you're a BUM - you don't make jack sh*t for money - just look at yourself!'

Yes, I'm just spreading the Christmas cheer!

Presented his midwife a Cuban.
"Let's check on my wife,
Then we'll celebrate life
With a scotch and a smoke for my newborn!"

#4  I lived in Watertown in the Summer of '91, then to Woburn. I have to second Alan C's comment.

Um, Raj, I live in metro-west, lived on the south shore or out here for 45 years. How the hell do you tell the lefty sections from the "regular sections"? I've never figured it out. ;^)

#2  Ship , I remember you referring to a bike you rode as your 'Cycle of Poverty'. You finally get off the cycle?

#1  I always wanted to be like Raj, down even to the bike.

Alas and alack, I lack a bike.
