Slow Saturday Specials: Kicks Brought to You by Kraft and Kissinger

And you know where you are taking the boot, readers -- and both fell on a Saturday.

"Boston tosses in lot to play host to World Cup in 2018 or 2022" by Sydney Lupkin, Globe Correspondent | June 12, 2010

New England Revolution owner Robert Kraft, who also owns the New England Patriots [and] is on the USA Bid Committee with other big names like former secretary of state Henry Kissinger, 87, and actor Brad Pitt, made a promise to his fellow Bostonians.

This explains the swarm of MSM coverage, and Pitt is hanging with the... sigh.


“You know I’m going to lobby as much as I can,’’ he said, adding that Kissinger wanted to see another World Cup in the United States before he was 99....

So he HAS PLANS to be ALIVE THAT LONG?

Yeah, CONNECT the DOTS and DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS!

No wonder Zionists (think David Rockefeller and Alan Greenspan) and Zionist-serving scum like Bush Sr. live so damn long!

Part breaking down? Replace it with a new one!

"Kraft Group was big bridge player; Patriots owner pushed project" by Noah Bierman, Globe Staff | May 15, 2010

Last fall, Patrick administration officials publicly touted the potential to create thousands of jobs in their aborted attempt to use federal stimulus money to build a controversial pedestrian footbridge near Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

Must be nice, huh?


Yeah, no recession at the over-priced ballpark.

Internal state e-mails released yesterday revealed another urgent force driving the $9 million project: football season and accommodating the owners of the home team.

“The Krafts want this bridge prior to next season, so we are looking at a completion of 12/31/2010,’’ wrote the project’s manager, Christine Mizioch, when asked by fellow state transportation planners about the project’s deadline. (Another staff member points out in a subsequent e-mail that the date would miss much of the season.)

Thousands of e-mails related to the project were released yesterday, more than five months after they were requested by the Globe and other media under the state’s Freedom of Information Act, which allows 10 days for compliance.

Hey, Globe didn't make a big deal of it so..... did I mention Kraft was Jewish?

The e-mails show direct input from the Kraft Group, which owns the New England Patriots, the stadium, and the surrounding property. The Krafts’ consultant was even put in charge of preparing construction bid documents, according to the e-mails.

And the Patriots are always given such prominence on the front page of the paper -- as well as the Red Sox or Celtics.

Oh, Globe FILLING UP on its OWN SELF-SERVING S***, huh?

The Patrick administration ended up pulling the footbridge over Route 1 from its list of stimulus projects in December, after complaints from federal highway officials and from Vice President Joe Biden’s office that use of public money on a project connecting two private properties would create a bad image for the stimulus program.

Too late.

The Patrick administration says it remains committed to using economic development money for the project because it is essential to long-term aspirations to bring a corporate headquarters to the area....

Yeah, SOMEHOW they are going to GET TAX LOOT to the (rhymes with) you-know-who!

As state officials pushed plans to fund the bridge in October, Kraft and his wife contributed $12,000 to the political accounts of Governor Deval Patrick, Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray, and the state Democratic Party. Patrick administration officials have said the donations did not affect their support for the project....

They CAUGHT the PA$$ and it i$ a FIR$T DOWN for the LOOTER$!!!

The e-mails released yesterday show that federal and state officials had concerns about the project months before it was taken off the stimulus list.

In August, the state chief of the Highway Department, Luisa Paiewonsky gave the project a low rating for readiness because it had not been designed, and it required numerous layers of state and federal review.

But James A. Aloisi Jr., then transportation secretary, ordered her to get a “SWAT team’’ to make it happen, the e-mails said.

Concerns persisted as the project moved along.

State Transportation Department officials noted in early October that federal officials were concerned about the project’s “optics.’’ Later that month, two state officials told the department’s spokesman to downplay the bridge project when he was preparing a press release with a list of stimulus projects....
