Ok, we need to do something about this crap:

Seriously. Letters. Phone calls. Macaroni art. Let's get that burger back up there.

[_dynamicdems]

1. Seems to me they should stick to flipping burgers and stay out of politics.

Bartley's Burger Cottage
1246 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA
617-354-6559

[wisteria]

6. Thank you. I am writing that ignorant jerk. n/t

[whometense]

2. Hey, I work literally

a five minute walk from there. AND I do eat there on occasion.

They will be hearing from me.

[karynnj]

3. You should go in , get seated, look at the meu

and when the waitress comes, look at her sadly and say that "You reallyt really wanted the Kerry burger and could they please make one." (assuming they weren't horrible.)

[ProSense]

4. Go in there and

demand Kerry on a bun. :)

[Luftmensch067]

17. I also work close by

and Whome and others around here, am I right in sensing a certain general air in the, er, decor of the place of political cynicism? During the Clinton years, several rude photomanipped pictures appeared on the walls and I'll have to go in and check their take on the Kennedys.

I only eat there 2-3 times a year but I've always sort of looked for a Kerry burger and never noticed one. I have run into the original owners a couple of times in the last few months around town and next time I see Mrs. B. I will tell her to tell her son to shape up! I will also call tomorrow and tell them to reinstall the burger and then tell the Globe they've done so (if all that happened, any bets on whether the Globe would print a retraction? I don't think so either...)

[blm]

24. Ask Bartley if he can name the lawmaker who has investigated and exposed more government corruption

than any lawmaker in modern history and ask why that would embarrass him so much? Obama hasn't done ANYTHING in his two years that is even CLOSE to what Kerry did in his first two years.

Obama helped to THWART the Downing Street Memo investigation and Alito filibuster. He talked against the filibuster and then pretended he was for it when he got the backlash. Now he wants the congress to NOT investigate Bush's lies leading up to Iraq war. Utter bullshit.

That burger guy is UNINFORMED - he should turn the corporate TV off and read the congressional record for a change.

[wisteria]

5. Obviously it is entertainment to some to kick around a respected senator.

Now, if someone gets me the e-mail or address of the jerk that apparently is embarrassed by kerry, I will write him and ask him exactly what he has to be embarrassed about except his own ignorance.

[whometense]

7. I was trying to find one.

The place is so famous, I can't believe they don't have their own website - but apparently they don't.

[Democrafty]

8. This is why I feel strongly about the issue.

Yes, it's kind of stupid and trivial as an isolated thing. But put it next to stuff like heyjohn.com, and you start to see a pattern of institutionalized rudeness and dismissiveness directed at JK, and he just doesn't deserve that.

[politicasista]

9. Especially if it's promoting other candidates at his expense

which also makes Obama look bad, and he (and Kerry) doesn't deserve that either.

[whometense]

10. Did you see the Daily Show bit tonight

on Obama?

It was pretty funny - Jon Stewart was talking about all the long-serving senators on the Foreign Relations Committee, and their wealth of knowledge and experience, and then they cut to about 3 or 4 different tv interviews - ALL of them with Obama.

[politicasista]

13. Interesting

That had to have been funny. I see if I can catch a rerun of the show.

[whometense]

14. It wasn't mocking Obama - it was

mocking the newscasters. Olbermann was one of them. ;-)

[politicasista]

15. Cool

Thanks. :hi:

[wisteria]

16. It is surreal actually, when you consider how the media wants us to vote on our Presidents.

The most important position in America and we are just suppose to hand it over to the popular kid. I hope Americans Get a clue in 08. Just look what happens when we elect just anyone for President. You know, we haven't had a great president in many years. I personally don't think Clinton was great.We are about due.

[Democrafty]

11. Right. it's pretty absurd this guy doesn't know his own

senator's record.

(And not to say the Obama shouldn't be up there. But putting one up at the other's expense is petty.)

[whometense]

12. Here it is:

[MBS]

18. I was furious when I saw this in the Globe, and I also work close by

whometense and luftmenschen, want to coordinate something? Send me a PM or email if you want to get together. .

[_dynamicdems]

19. Maybe one of you could hand-deliver messages from others of us

who won't be able to get to Boston?

Anyone want to deliver our messages? Or do you think it better to mail them?

[MBS]

21. I think this could be a great idea

I'd certainly be happy to help with the delivery. Mail also could have its own impact, tooThe restaurant is famous for having lots of posters, etc on its walls. We might be able to help them with-- ahem- their decor. . ?:)

[Luftmensch067]

23. I'm ready for action!

Count me in on any delivery plans. :-) Should we find a nice photo with an extra-special TIE (I vote for the fish tie, of course) to offer them for the wall?

[whometense]

25. Count me in.

I'd be happy to go along too.

[MBS]

27. great!

I don't have your email: maybe you could pm me and Luftmensch so we can coordinate?. . Luftmensch and I talked about getting together this weekend to strategize. .

[Luftmensch067]

29. OK, there is a delgation of at least three of us ready to deliver

a message. Any ideas? Please put suggestions here or PM MBS, Whome or me.

LOL! I see Whome and I were writing at the same time! Anyway, what she said. :-)

[Mass]

20. Another crap to go after, on DU.

I thought I was reading the freeper blogs.

[wisteria]

22. I replied. n/t

[whometense]

26. What an idiot. n/t

[whometense]

28. Plans are afoot.

If you feel like writing something with your trademark light-tone-that-masks-its-deadly-snark it would be most welcome.

[Democrafty]

30. Absolutely! PM me what you're thinking n/t

[kerrygoddess]

31. Someone sent me an email addy for them

I got an email from someone who doesn't have a star here but read this post:

"did some research and phoned the Cambrige CofC and received this email address: [e-mail]. According to CofC, they do not have a current web site."

[Democrafty]

32. Thanks. Paper mail would be more effective in this case, anyway. n/t

[MBS]

33. I agree that paper mail/real objects will be more effective. .

IF you want us to deliver anything in person, y ou can mail stuff to me. I'll email you my address in a few minutes. . . Or you can use the address provided by Democrafty. The zip code is for sure 02138.
