yet somehow, boston continues to function, with logan airport only shutting down for two hours due to visibility.

in london, the city would be shut down for a month.

in other boston news, there has been a lot of criticism of boston’s efforts to promote inclusiveness, with a “holiday tree”, and of mayor menino personally, as the catholic mayor of a predominantly catholic city, who also happens to support gay marriage and abortion rights.

i’ve never been a huge fan of menino, though I will admit, the city seems to be doing well under him. but I have a newfound respect for someone who tells jerry falwell, the catholic action league, and the rest of the critics that his faith is his own business, and they need to fuck off.

…what moves me most about being a Christian is what Jesus taught us about being religious,” Menino said. ”He did not give priority to piety. He didn’t make holiness the big thing. And he did not tell us to go around talking up God, either… What Jesus said, and what he showed with his life, was that the way to follow him was to take care of people… How much clearer could the Lord have made it?

< *insert applause here*>

if only more politicians had the balls to follow his lead.
