"A horrid thing, a very horrid thing, sir"

Dear Dr. Bones,

Delusions of collective self-wunnerfulness

Massachusetts is the best state in the [U]nion. By Mark Vanhoenacker | Posted Monday, May 14, 2012, at 6:00 AM ET Slate.com Don’t Mess with Massachusetts It may be everyone’s punching bag, but it’s time to face facts: [t]he Bay State is best.  (( &c. &c. ))

ought never go unshuddered at and unrebuked, which unfortunately in this case they might, considering that the WhightGuard Officers Mess is unlikely to pounce on this detestable tripe as it deserves for fear of hinderin’ the Apotheosis of W. M. Romney.

Even were it all true, which most of it is, I think, not very, yet mere Truth is no legitimate defense against the charge of selfnarcissism.  If true, let somebody else please say it about Wunnerful Us.   If false, nobody.   Period.

This is Stupid Party stuff, Dr. Bones, and therefore the antithesis of Mass. Exceptionalism, the blog.

Happy days.
