Following the coverage of the Massachusetts Senate special election the past few weeks meant I had to read The Boston Globe online. Much of The Globe’s coverage was geared towards gaming the election for Martha Coakley, including the disingenuous announcement on election morning that the...

Another in the “how do they think this stuff up” category. Guess who were the biggest losers in the Massachusetts Senate special election yesterday. The people of Bangladesh, according to Matthew Yglesias: Who’s going to gain and who’s going to lose if Scott Brown becomes...

Yesterday, Blue Mass Group posted a misleadingly edited interview with Scott Brown in which Brown, when questioned, said he didn’t know if Barack Obama’s mother was married when Obama was born. That expression of lack of knowledge has led to full meltdown in the left-wing...
