For those not paying attention to East Coast news, the Big Dig is falling apart. A large chunk of the tunnel roof connecting I-90 to the Ted Williams tunnel fell into the roadway a couple of days back, killing a woman, and Mormy (I mean Romney) has stepped in and closed most of the Dig. The plus side of this is that we get to see Mitt, trying to look all presidential while talking about undercutting bolts, stress and strain, and wearing one of those orange vests while looking at the tunnel roof and pretending to be an engineer. The minus side is that Boston traffic took one gigantic step backwards - what was a fifteen minute trip from Cambridge to Logan is back to a ninety minute trip. Oh well, time to leave the lounge for the trip back to DC.
