Rich talked to me just before the start of Bill Gunn’s Townsend town hall last night:

I was pleasantly surprised to find out he is the uncle of my friend Paul Howley owner of That’s Entertainment two of the best comic and hobby shops you will ever find in the Massachusetts

The New Democrat by Loren Spivack

If you have found memories of a certain children book about a cat who knew it all but caused a lot of trouble this parody The New Democrat by Doctor Truth (aka the Free Market Warrior).

In this parody we have a know it all (aided by Dem 1 and Dem 2) trying to show the country the best was to prosperity. With predictable results.

The book is not yet available on Amazon but you can get it directly from the Free Market Warrior site here.

At the end of the Seminar that he gave to the Twin City Tea Party he read us this book, we were laughing very loud. I suspect if you get this book you will too.

If you’ve never heard of Loren Spivack here is the video I shot at the Twin City Tea Party:

He is available to speak anywhere about Capitalism and it’s fruit. Get the book if you want to laugh, arrange the seminar if you want to learn.

Moran Square Diner The Sunday of Labor day weekend

If you have watched Mike Barnicle on TV you have probably heard him say the phrase “The people at Moran Square Diner” when talking about the average person and what he thinks.

Well the Moran square diner is a real place that has been cooking breakfast and lunch for people for

You don't get more old fashoned than that menu board

over 70 years. It’s named after Fitchburg Native Pat Moran who played 14 seasons in the major leagues. He played on both Chicago Cubs world series teams ( 1907 & 1908 ). but is best remembered for his 1919 World Series victory in 1919 (with some unsolicited help from disgruntled White Sox Players) as manager of the Reds. That’s a shame as the hardball times says Pat Moran might be the most underrated manager in baseball history.

Your breakfast cooked right in front of you

.wife and youngest stopped down for breakfast there today and the family was hard at work dealing with the Sunday rush. If you are looking for fancy this is definitely the wrong place for you, but if you want a good breakfast in a quaint old fashioned dinner cooked to a T this is the place. You will be hard pressed to find a better sausage patty and eggs.

When I told Mary during breakfast that I would write a post about the place she smiled, She was really surprised when I came back 15 minutes later camera in hand.I showed up after breakfast camera in hand.With the Sunday Rush on Chris had absolutely no time to talk to me, but Mary was able to find some time after a little wait. I didn’t mind. I enjoy a watching a master at work. You might not think of short order cooking as an art to master but then again you haven’t tried his breakfast and just watched as he goes through order after order.

Working steady

When you make your living $5-$6 dollars at a time you have very little room to factor in a bad economy so if you want some advice on making it in a diner, I’d listen to what Mary has to say. BTW I was actually surprised to find out that Cousin Mary and her Husband Chris are only the 2nd owners in all of those years. I still think morning Joe should broadcast from here some day

BTW somehow this post got mixed up with a post in defense of Stacy McCain that I put up earlier

Vincent is the man in charge of the Plymouth County GOP straw Poll and we get his perspective at the end of the event.

This was a very successful event, if we keep up the good work success will be a regular experience for the GOP in Mass.
