for effectively eliminating any political opposition that the ruling party has had in this city for half a century. I don't think it's exaggerating to say that the blame for every failure, every mediocrity, every example of the mind-boggling dysfunction in this city that has resulted from a bloated, inept, complacent, anti-democratic, Democratic machine lies ultimately on the Meehans' doorstep.

I know. I WAS trying to be a dick.

Here's the link: Jersey Shore benches keep loved ones close. I wish they would all retire to Ocean City, the most boring place on the Atlantic Ocean, and never set foot in this city again.
