In reply to the discussion: Got back from Boston about an hour ago. [View all]msanthrope
(37,549 posts)16. I was in Boston last, for this weekend....
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/03/sports/baseball-mussina-misses-yankees-4th-perfect-game-by-one-pitch.html
Saw Clemens, Hernandez, and Mussina.....walked around Boston in my #5 jersey....and got harassed by that godamn green Wall mascot.
When they came back to the Stadium the next weekend, it was another sweep of Boston, and the last time I saw the Towers, which my grandfather helped build, and the last time I had drinks with my high school prom date who died on the 95th floor of the South Tower.
And I lost four more people that day.
So I understand what it's like to lose people to terror. But I would never call Barack Obama a piece of shit because of it.

Our President is a class act. Boston was very kind to me, too, enabling so many Yankee rings....

I find that when an OP does not address posters to their thread, that tends to happen. nt

Indeed. Calling the President a "piece of shit used car salesman" was crass. nt
