Quote of the Day

“Phyladelphia [sic], with all its trade and wealth and regularity, is not Boston. The morals of our people are much better; their manners are more polite and agreeable… Our language is better, our taste is better, our persons are handsomer; our spirit is greater, our laws are wiser, our religion is better, our education is better. We exceed them in every thing, but in a market.” — John Adams, a historical figure as obstreperous as Sheldon Adelson. He might feel even more smug to know that, whilst Philadelphia has four casinos, Boston lacks any … yet.
