While writing the previous post, I kept being nagged by the question of who is Deval Patrick because the name sounded familiar beyond his governor's race. A quick search reminded me that he was the Clinton administration's civil rights head in the Justice Department. (I thought he as a US atty. in a high-profile case somewhere in the back of my mind).
The amusing part about Patrick's bio can be found in Wikkipedia which says, "Patrick wrote frequent and detailed letters to prisons regarding the treatment of incarcerated criminals, to the extent that one warden called him a "zealot".[7] Among his complaints: tuna sandwiches were served too warm in a tiny jail in Dooly County, Georgia; meals at a Mitchell County, Georgia, jail were served too cold in styrofoam or plastic containers not designed to maintain proper food temperatures; only 1 operative basketball hoop at another prison; under inflated basketballs at another."
