You don’t need me.  You have $7 million plus in the bank, and as of now, you’re the most popular politician in Massachusetts. I’m just a small-time, part-time, squeeze-in-posts-between-real-life, blogger.  I supported you in early December 2009, when no one gave you a chance, and continued...

This article will save you money if you actually buy into the premises of a recent article in the Journal about college admissions that had me rolling my eyes. It is no secret that the children of certain families (and we all know who we...

We all know how analogies to Nazis have gone over-the-top this political season. But sometimes Godwin’s law just isn’t good enough.  What we need is a Hutu analogy.  The Hutus, you will recall, massacred hundreds of thousands of members of the Tutsi tribe in Rwanda...

Rhode Island is the new Arizona. No, actually, Arizona is the new Rhode Island. Despite the failure of the Rhode Island legislature to pass an Arizona-like immigration bill, Rhode Island already has implemented the critical piece of the Arizona law, checking the immigration status of...

Of course, that depends upon what the meaning of “crazy” is. News has leaked out through an article in Esquire Magazine that Eric Massa, the disgraced Democratic rock star (was he the tickler, or the tickle-ee?), claims that Dick Cheney conspired with Gen. David Petraeus...
