PAX Centurion - September / October 2014

Page 38 • PAX CENTURION • September/October 2014 617-989-BPPA (2772) I won’t say the women on Newbury Street dress skimpy, but while in line for coffee I told the girl in front of me she had a tag sticking out of her skirt. She reached back to fix, and informed me it was actu- ally her underwear. H H H H H H H H H H H Once again, I spent part of my summer vacation in New Hamp- shire. The room featured Fox News this year, but I was forced to make do with the Boston Globe. Columnist Kevin Cullen managed to comethisclose to ruining my stay with his bleeding heart (boo-hoo) re- port onAzamat Tazhayakov, the poor, misguided teen accomplice to Marathon Bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev. A fine young Muslim boy who smoked pot and drank booze so he could fully realize theAmerican college experience. Having raised teenagers, I’ll stipulate to the fact they do stupid things – but knowingly covering up for your buddy the terrorist does not make you the victim, especially after you knew what he’d done because his picture was all over the TV. One can hope he will realize theAmerican prison experience before his dumb @$$ is deported back to Russia – when he’s middle aged. H H H H H H H H H H H Some notes on the Sergeant’s Test: On my way I had the pleasure of passing a freshly killed skunk in the street. I thought:”how appropriate, I’m road kill too.” Seeing so many cops you don’t see regularly was like working the crowd at a wedding, if I missed anyone it wasn’t on purpose – catch you at the oral board. Even if I wanted to cheat, my eyes are so bad I was lucky I could see MY test. I’m not known for being the most punctual person, but even I man- aged to show up a half hour early. C’mon guys, if you can’t get there when you’re supposed to, maybe a promotion’s not your thing. And, just in case someone from E.B. Jacobs or an involved Com- mand Staff member sees this, the BPD Hockey Team got me to stop showing up after selecting me for the BPD Hockey Hall of Fame – soooo if I get promoted, my days at the PAX are OVER …just sayin’. H H H H H H H H H H H I’m really starting to believe most cops aren’t THAT cynical, and some people ARE that stupid! H H H H H H H H H H H The US Supreme Court dealt Obamacare a blow, after find- ing in favor of “Hobby Lobby.” It seems the family owned business wasn’t in the business of offering enough birth control and was sued. The company protested along personal and religious lines and the Supremes agreed-since they were offering to provide 17 out of 20 (?) approved forms of contraception. The libs went wild – you’d think the party that tells us:”it’s for the children,” or “it amounts to a cup of coffee a day” would just suck it up-talk about your bitter clingers. Birth Control Pills cost about $600 a year, that’s about $12 a week. As Gov. Patrick says – just bring your lunch one day a week, and that should cover it. Condoms are about $150/year or under $3 a week, skip the latte if you want to get latte’ed. Oh, did I mention both of these methods are covered by Hobby Lobby’s insurance? This case wasn’t so much about choice or religion as much as it was about Government overreach and control. H H H H H H H H H H H Thousands of illegal alien children swarmed across our southern border, creating a humanitarian crisis of monumental importance. Rather than send them back to their parents, it looks like Uncle Sam wants to adopt these poor little refugees. Despite the fact that some of these juveniles are as old as 21, and more than a few are MS-13 gang members. VP Joe Biden referred to them as “our kids” in a speech – funny if you sent you kid overseas with a stranger for money, you’d find yourself in jail – hell you can’t even abandon a dog without repercussions. H H H H H H H H H H H My kids’ behavior has dramatically improved since I hung that Adrian Peterson poster in their room. H H H H H H H H H H H After one too many rocket attacks and the kidnapping and murder of three teens, Israel invaded Gaza – prompting an outcry over their tactics. Wow, Hamas, a terrorist group that uses children as human shields, and hides munitions in hospitals and schools claims the moral high ground – no wonder the liberals are so fond of them… H H H H H H H H H H H I recently took a weekend trip to Martha’s Vineyard. I’m not sure, but I believe there is an island ordinance which requires every business to hang a “Jaws” poster alongside a picture of Obama or Clinton. H H H H H H H H H H H September is a great month to make sure all the systems in your car are working properly – you use your Defroster in the morning, your A/C in the afternoon and your heater at night. H H H H H H H H H H H I, for one, am sick of paying a fee to pay a bill. And it’s not just the promotional exams! The City of Boston charges you a fee to pay your Excise tax on-line, AT&T charges a service fee if you pay cash for your cell bill (really – A fee for CASH?!?! ). My Insurance company sets up my monthly payments, then adds a surcharge to pay monthly! The examples are everywhere. I just ordered a bunch of checks and some stamps – screw you online payments the check is in the mail! H H H H H H H H H H H There are certain items that give you the best feeling in the world right out of the package – I wish I could wear new underwear every day! A toothbrush and windshield wipers are also at the top of the list. H H H H H H H H H H H I’m reluctant to visit the turmoil in Ferguson, MO, until all the facts come out, and the investigations are complete. I will say this, though; how do a looted Flat Screen TV, and stolen cigs and booze translate to a call for justice? H H H H H H H H H H H I saw a sign in a park the read “No Loitering.” Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do in a park?Apparently some people just don’t get it… H H H H H H H H H H H If the drug epidemic is so bad in the ‘burbs, then why do they keep putting the methadone clinics in the city? H H H H H H H H H H H The only thing that’s been beaten up more than Mrs. Janay Rice Is the story about Mrs. Janay Rice being beaten up. It seems like the NFL has more important problems than the name of its Washington franchise. The media is also complicit in this – Domestic Violence and ChildAbuse are serious and sadly everyday matters. Instead of using these high profile examples to initiate change, they fuel the flames for ratings and circulation. H H H H H H H H H H H Si Se Puede… From Moccia on page 37
