HE USED AN INCORRECT WORD

Lately I saw a 1930s book, entitled "Westward," and authored by E. Douglas Branch.

A chapter is called "When Massachusetts Was West," but, contemplating topics such as legalizing queer unions and illiterately calling them "marriages," Barney Frank, Toad and the other Kennedys, and B.O.'s pixilated Harvard puppeteers, I decided he must have meant "When Massachusetts Was Worst."

Naturally, the answer is, "Presently, and for quite a few years now."
