LOL Indeed it is, GSC, indeed it is.

Well Boston is a bit complex, because you've got Boston proper, and ethnic neighborhoods like Southie, JP, Roxbury, etc. Cambridge, Brookline and Newton certainly lead the way in extreme leftwing PC nuttiness. But it's guys like Bob Travaglini from the triple decker towns who wield the power.
