The Society for Elliptical Reasoning - Thomas Menino

The latest inductee into the Society for Elliptical Reasoning is Boston Mayor Tom (Don't call me "Mumbles") Menino who claimed last week that the real culprit in the post Super Bowl rioting in Boston is Sunday liquor sales. What the Mayor conveniently forgets is the rioting that followed the Patriots victory two years ago, when there were no Sunday liquor sales in Boston and that most liquor stores were closed by the time the game started. The mayor was trying to gloss over an alarmingly low number of police officers working the night of the Super Bowl.
