With Barney Frank introducing a bill to decriminalize marijuana, a citizens petition making its way through the system, and similar legislation filed by Rep. Smizik and Sen. Jehlen, it’s little wonder that Massachusetts Democrats are in a state of confusion.
Here are the top ten ways you know that Massachusetts Democrats have something other than the impending fiscal crisis on the mind.
1) You see Gov. Patrick wandering the statehouse asking, “Dude, Where’s my Cadillac?”
2) The chandelier in the Governor’s Council Chamber is replaced with a disco ball.
3) Democrats begin paying the higher “optional” income tax rate.
4) Tim Murray gavels the weekly Governor’s Council meeting to order and then wonders aloud “why is everyone looking at me?”
5) John Kerry says he has “absolutely no interest in running for president ever again.”
6) You find half the Democratic caucus sleeping on the Esplanade after a Pink Floyd concert.
7) Democratic legislators plan a junket to Hillary Clinton’s Woodstock museum.
8) House Speaker DiMasi suggests the Casino bill went “Up in Smoke”
9) Barney Frank begins earmarking “The Munchies”
10) The Ways and means committee’s Budget proposal shows up covered in caramel and cheetos.
