Election Day.
#11
BOSTON:

This year the longest-serving mayor in the city's history, Thomas Menino, decided not to seek re-election after 20 years in office. Incumbent mayors in Boston are rarely defeated.

Boston's political scene is crowded with Democrats of Irish descent. One of them, Marty Walsh, a legislator and labor leader whose campaign was funded by a huge amount of union donations/support, beat out City Councilor John Connolly by 4 points.

This is Boston's new mayor, Marty Walsh:

This is the man who Joe Biden called to congratulate for winning Boston's mayoral election, Marty Walsh (president of Gateway Public Solutions):

Oops Yeah, Joe plays a major role in national security. Ah well, no big whoop.

I guess then-legislator now-mayor Marty Walsh need not worry that his cell calls were being monitored. Sarcastic
