[Ads-l] Do people's names correspond to their (pre)occupations?

[Joel Berson]

"No mention of state Senator Ryan C. Fattman -- a Republican -- who got $494,000 added to the [Massachusetts] Senate budget for projects in his district."

Unmentioned in email to fiscal supporters of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, "which swears it is non-partisan" but which did call out four Democratic members of the Great and General Court who "reach[ed] into the cookie jar" -- for much smaller cookies.  Fattman, "a Tea Party favorite, ... gets a 100 percent rating from MassFiscal."  As a Tea Party favorite, Fattman presumably is an advocate of small government, but apparently and eponymically if not epicurically not of small cookies for himself.
