'Little Dig' Scandal. Well you've all heard of Boston's Big Dig scandal, right? It's chock full of leaks, cost overruns, and a Massachusetts Turnpike Chairman Matthew Amorello who doesn't seem to think he is at all accountable for the mess (Sorry Matt but I'm siding with the Republican Governor on this one. Bye, bye....) But stay tuned for a soon-to-be announced 'Little Dig' Scandal you'll be hearing about as well. I don't have much in the way of gritty details yet but apparently a long stretch of gas pipe off the coastline of Nahant (just north of Boston) was done shoddily at best. Instead of putting the gas pipe fifteen feet below the sea bottom as required, engineers cut corners and only put it down five feet. Now discovered, it isn't so easy to rectify as it turns out i.e. you can't simply dump sediment on top to make up the ten feet difference as it would disrupt the migratory patterns of shellfish and fish alike. Sure you can bury the pipe another ten feet... But at what cost baby. At what cost? And why the hell wasn't it done in the first place? Just as why the hell weren't the I-93 leaks addressed when they should have been?
Tomorrow are photographs with the Lieutenant Governor and Anna Bloviation's (Anna will be standing behind the good Representative even though I did most of the work). A new law to be enacted tomorrow is about to make Christmas a whole lot shittier for youngsters under the age of sixteen. Sorry little ones. We wanted to keep you safer so that you might live to see your sixteenth birthday. I don't know why really. After sixteen you want to half the time kill the little bastards...
