Belize needs a Tom Menino

By adamg on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 12:21pm

Somebody down in that Central American nation looks to Menino as the sort of person the country desperately needs as its next prime minister, to stave off Guatemalan incursions, create a health-care system that works and bring more jobs.

I think it’s clear we need fresh blood, fresh ideas. Government is not there for a few to get rich. Government is there to help the country move forward. We had enough fancy talk and incompetence, corrupt men and thieves. Let’s try something different, let’s see if the late mayor Menino can help us build a better union, a fairer country where the rich and the poor can get along, can live in a safe and prosperous country.

There will never be another Tom Menino.

Belize can start by not granting asylum to insane criminals like John McAfee of antivirus fame

What? The US, if anything, is

What? The US, if anything, is granting him asylum. He fled Belize to avoid charges, and Guatemala sent him to the US.

Best Wishes

May the late mayor deliver all of that for them. Then maybe he can do it for us, as well.

Somebody like Menino to build a health care system?

You mean that same guy who barred Minute Clinics from CVS locations in Boston?

Yes, sounds like this person

Yes, sounds like this person agreed with Menino that mini clinics at drugstores weren't the best way to build a health care system.

All the bleating that Democrats do

About "reform" and "care," and we can't get people to cheap gatekeepers late at night when they demand health services. The lefty loony toons in Cambridge allowed 'em. What was Menino's problem?

It's been a week. Maybe we can stop deifying Menino and start pointing out his faults again.

I've got a feeling you're going to tell us what you (I'm being generous here) "think" regardless.

It would matter more than your opinion

Because, you know, I actually still live here.

LOL I know, right?

You actually think anyone cares what you think? That's cute.

Isn't Belize a Tax Evader's Paradise?

Hey, go on - go Galt and show us all what you can do for the place.

We're out of Menino.

Can we interest them in a lightly used Ray Flynn?

Just make sure
