What history book you do or don't have
-Mos Def, "Breakdown"

Apparently, I haven't been blogging regularly in so long that I forgot what it looked like. As a matter of fact, I used to have some blogging peoples who I haven't been trading comments with in so long I don't even know if I still have their joints bookmarked anywhere. Alas; such is life. With a clean slate we start anew.

I want to get back into the swing of things by going face first. To hell with dipping my toe in the water. Let's get it in, shall we?

For my Boston peoples, let me break it down to you so it's broken. Mayor Menino has done a lot of good for the city. But there's a lot of progress that is noticeably absent. I am very skeptical that if voters elect him again, he wil not finish his term. I simply do not see it happening.

Call me a skeptic, cynic, o whatever. But it ain't going down, boo-boo. If Thomas M. Menino gets elected to a fifth term, he's going to somehow step down, which in turn will allow the presiding city council president to become interim mayor. Obvisouly, many moons ago before Mike Flaherty blossomed into a fully grey-heared man, that was the rumored plan.

But no....in the age of power-hoarders clutching on to their authority until you pry it from their cold hands, there is no succession planning. There is succession appointing. And my dear friends, if we are not careful, the next person to be mayor after Tom Menino will not be Flaherty or Yoon. It will be none other than...

...Rob Consalvo.

gulp.

And then I'm packing my ish up, dapping up my peoples, selling the crib, and moving my black a$$ back to my hometown, because that joker's a bama, son. Two steps forward and three thousand seven hundred and fourteen steps backwards. Don't say I didn't warn you. Yall better hope Mike Ross stay council president. Get at me.
