Bush Don't Blame Me-- I'm from Massachusetts -- Post-Watergate bumper sticker Being a conservative Republican in Massachusetts is a bit like being a cattle rancher at a vegetarian convention. -- Mitt Romney Puritanism-- The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. -- H.L. Mencken All I can claim for Boston is that it is the thinking center of the continent, and therefore of the planet. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes The [Boston] Pops are a good melting pot of music. I guess we're the classiest jukebox in the world. -- Arthur Fiedler Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, had always been the systematic organization of hatreds, and Massachusetts politics had been as harsh as the climate. -- Henry Adams The Red Sox are a religion. Every year we re-enact the agony and the temptation in the Garden. Baseball child's play? Well, up here in Boston, it's a passion play. -- George Higgins It's spring and the saps are running. -- early Boston Marathon joke Boston is the perfect city for the Democrats, ' cause the Democratsare like the Red Sox. They're optimistic in the spring, concerned in the summer, and ready to choke in the fall. -- Jay Leno, on selection of Boston for 2004 Democratic National Convention Chowderheads, rejoice!
