Is MARTHA COAKLEY the next STAN PAPI???
Bill Lee RED SOX NATION pitcher was traded on Dec.7, 1978 to the Montreal Expos for utility infielder Stan Papi. A LARGE STATEMET IN RED PAINT WAS SPLASHED ON THE OUTSIDE WALL OF FENWAY PARK SHOWING RED SOX FAN'S FRUSTRATION AT TRADING BILL LEE, NICKNAMED 'THE SPACEMAN' THE MESSAGE READ TO RED SOX MANAGEMENT "WHO IS STAN PAPI???" After Martha Coakley's resounding defeat this past Tuesday in a Senate seat occupied by TED KENNEDY for decades - we wonder if MARTHA COAKLEY will ever be heard of again in national politics or in 'Bay State' politics??? Stan Papi in 50 games with the RED SOX hit a sterling 188 while launching one home run. Will we ever 'hear' of MARTHA COAKLEY again after stating that "...there are no terrorists in Afghanistan" or the greatest sin "...thast CURT SCHILLING is a NYYanqui fan" or that is was beneath to shake hands in the cold outside Fenway Park!!! Yes whi is MARTHA COAKLEY???

MLK jr. meets GWTW as the movie opens in Atlanta, 1939
MLK jr. meets GWTW as the movie opens in Atlanta, 1939
On the screen Atlanta flamed.
Ashley brooded.
Mellie succumbed.
Rhett stormed.
Scarlett lived on.
And Miss Margaret sat there viewing the hurricane of emotions portrayed at this premiere.
Blissfully ignoring pleas from those Atlanta Junior Leaguers
to afterward attend their gala ball.
Hoping Hiss Margaret would overlook their past snubs and ostracism.
Hoping Miss Margaret’s fame would add
to this epic moment.
Treating you as some glorified house servant.
Hoping to dress you in another type of slave outfit.
As they did the son of that minister
and his Ebenezer Church Choir
going about their required chores that night.
Smiling obediently with supposed happy faces in that segregated epic which serenaded
the consciences of a Coca—Cola town
where even the NAACP was horrified
at all these coloured folk serving these self—professed select citizens celebrating Miss Margaret book’s story.
After all ‘movie stars’ were White
and by definition
attractive and sexy.
And what could that son of the minister
learn in his ‘slave-costume’ that night?
That just like Scarlett, MLK jr.
would never forget or forgive
past burnings in Atlanta.
