They even hid this explanation:
Spring has finally arrived in Central New York. Today was the first of what is supposed to be 4 beautiful days in a row. So it was time to drive out to one of my favorite places in the world for the first time this year.
The Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge and the adjacent state owned Northern Montezuma Wildlife Management Area are designated by the Audubon Society as a Globally Important Bird Area.
Gov. Charlie Baker was mysteriously chosen as the keynote speaker at a networking event hosted by Boston Spirit Magazine last night in Boston.
Yet when the Republican took the stage, he was confronted by signs and chants from demonstrators urging him to support a transgender anti-discrimination bill, which has been a hot topic of late for the Massachusetts governor.
Despite pleas from his audience, Gov. Charlie remained steadfast:
I will make sure I talk to all parties involved before we make any decision.
Presumably that includes Massachusetts Family Institute, which promotes hatred against transgender people.

I must state that I've Known Sex Workers.
Yesterday, by pure happenstance, while checking to see that my county had not changed my registration information from Democrat to Independent (yeah, since Arizona I've been paranoid about such stuff) I discovered something that shocked me. The polls where I live will only be open from 12 Noon until 9 PM, making it difficult for many people who work swing shifts to vote.
Just sit right back
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a creepy dick,
who fondled kids in his high school days,
his acts will make you sick.
Denny was a ruthless pol, he aimed to impeach Bill,
cuz' of where he'd stick his prick.
Five innocents - their lives were ruined,
While Denny struck it rich,
and Til the Feds used their stick.
Til the Feds used their stick.
Bernie was right to immediately disavow surrogate Dr. Paul Song's shocking use of the term corporate whore to describe certain well-connected Democrats. Bernie realized instantly that there are several problems with using the word whore....the most important being that whore often has a sexist connotation.
