I'll Take "Well, DUH" for $1,000, Alex

Massachusetts really is liberal
This should come as little surprise to Massachusetts voters, but the Bay State had the most liberal delegation in the US House last year, according to the latest National Journal rankings.

File under "N" for "No Shit, Sherlock"...

In other news, water was reported as being wet, fire was reported as being hot, and the sky was found to be blue. Seriously, this is what passes for news these days? Confirmation of what we already know? What other reports are lurking in the wings? Can we assume that there will be news reports telling us not to lick irons, or stick forks in electrical outlets?

Anyhoo, here's the breakdown:
In the House, Bay State Democrats John Olver and John Tierney were among nine representatives who tied for the most liberal, while Barney Frank and Richard Neal tied for 13th most liberal of the 435 House members.

And my own rep?
John Tierney
MA-6 (D)
Composite ScoresLib: 93.2 (1st) Cons: 6.8 (416th)

Remember Tierney - sounds like Tyranny...

That is all.

This guy is lucky he did not get his niece shot. Wonder if he will keep the shotgun for the next time. ;) In this state probably not. Enjoy the video.

I'm amazed the cops didn't charge the storeowner with unlawful possession... {/sarcasm}

In all seriousness, that takes MAJOR stones to go after a dude with a shotgun...
