Wrong end

This is Tom Menino, Mayor of Boston, speaking at the Healthcare Reform Rally a few days ago at the Boston Common. Of course, I was perfoming in my photojournalist capacity :):

At least you know where you stand ... with most politicians it's more of a case of "making you an offer you can't understand" (probably because the microphone is pointing the wrong way).

If he is anything like our UK politicians, the microphone should have been pointing downwards!

Is he related to GeeDoubleYa by any chance?

Phew you had me worried....only the Mafia...I thought you were going to tell us he was a Fundamental Christian middle American with shares in a bunker and a gun fetish. Now that would be way scary:eek:

Do you know the meaning of menino ?
Menino means in Portuguese - I don't know the meaning in Spanish - a little boy.
It is a tender way to call a young masculine child.
Baby-faced according to this translation.

:)

Actually he has Portuguese origins.
