Snow reminds me of illegal aliens

It's a pretty small and silly story - Boston Mayor Deval Patrick has declared a state of emergency for what I gather is like four inches of snow. Perhaps prophylactic, perhaps for some tricky bureaucratic reason, perhaps it is indeed silliness.

EDIT: Massachusetts got 24 inches of snow. Governor Deval Patrick institutes a state of emergency to free up funds, as seems proper. Freepers' reactions are pretty random:

Christian Engineer Mass goes for the obvious jab:
(whiny squeaky liberal voice) state of emergency! it’s a state of
emergency! there’s 4 inches of snow on the ground! state of emergency!

napscoordinator thinks this is a great time to belittle actual tragedies:
After Katrina and the oil spill, you below the Mason Dixon Line have
ABSOLUTELY nothing to say about drama

Redleg Duke prefers to roll with some serious liberal strawmen
Wait until the greenies get control of the country and ban “inappropriate
technology”...like weather satellites.

anti-weather satellites?

Kenny Bunk has a lot of Freeper tropes to fit into his post:

I think we should all put aside ideological differences and try to help your Governor (who does look like Barack Obama on steroids) cope with this massive, paralyzing, unprecedented-in-New England, tragic, dangerous storm, which could delay the prompt delivery of aid to women, children, and minorities throughout the Commonwealth. I am not forgetting Gays and Lesbians, even though I had been led to believe that Lesbians, too, are "gay."

Snow in New England. It is caused by Global Warming and by that Dick Cheney and his patriarchal gender normative diabolical Weather Machine, which is of course, George W. Bush's fault. Now is a good time to remember that Deval Patrick is Governor of all the MAssholes, not just the good people, alive and dead, legal and illegal, who voted for him.

Wow. I lost track after making fun of the ambiguity of the semantics of the word 'gay.'

Melchior thinks this is the time to talk about illegal imigration in Arizona:

The Border Patrol helicopters are out. A BP vehicle just went screaming up the hill, in search of what, or doing what, only the good Lord knows.

Possible 70 degrees today. A Mexican semi just offloaded a couple hundred illegals outside Nogales. News indicates unemployment along the Arizona-Mexico border exceeds twenty percent.

The interstate is dotted by vehicles with California license plates headed home to Mexico. A score of BP agents are playing grabbass at the Tubac border check point. Just another day in Aztlan.

  1. Deval Patrick is the government of Massachusetts, not the mayor.

    The snow was 24 inches, not 4.

    It's an emergency because all that water coming down from the sky causes flooding, and the snow makes it hard for rescue workers to deal with it.

    You are correct, however, that Freeper's reactions are very random

  2. Deval Patrick is Governor of Massachusetts. Boston's mayor is Tom Menino.
