Barack Obama, Scott Brown and Michael Steele all will be in Rhode Island today, campaigning for competing candidates in the RI-01 District (my home district, by the way). Obama is flying in for an elaborately catered $7500 per plate fundraiser (menu here) for Providence Mayor David...

Could this be the year in which I completely shed myself of the dubious distinction of splitting the year between Congressional Districts controlled by Patrick Kennedy and Maurice Hinchey? We know Patrick is gone, but are recent reports (via HotAir) of Hinchey’s demise accurate? First,...

I was thinking of holding this one back for a special occasion, but I just couldn’t wait.  If the world were to end tomorrow, I would not want you to perish without having seen this. Sent to me by a reader, this photo was taken in...
