Not difficult at all (1 Reply)
Except that if we turn a blind eye to chemical weapons in Syria, we run the risk of them being used again, and being used elsewhere, for decades to come. Question 8 in this primer gives some pretty good reasons as to why chemical weapons are a good reason to get involved.
Otherwise, I would be totally against any involvement here… which is not to say that I’m convinced we should do something, just that it’s worth some serious consideration.

Racism isn't always intentional (1 Reply)
Often it’s completely unintentional.
In this regard intent doesn’t matter. Results do.
We have a very low minority turnout in this state, and we’ve had ample means and opportunity to fix that. Who cares if it’s intentional? It’s still the result of racist policies; i.e., policies that disproportionately affect minorities.
Definition of "western" (1 Reply)
When you or I read “tolls on the western portion of the Massachusetts Turnpike”, we probably think “west of I-91″ or something like that.
But the plan apparently was “west of I-95“.

We’re big rock singers, we’ve got golden fingers
And we’re loved everywhere we go.
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show.
We take all kinds of pills to give us all kinds of thrills
But the thrill we’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll getcha when you get your picture

(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Rolling Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother
(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my smilin’ face

The article says
1) They claimed this deduction.
2) The value of the deduction is premised on the loss of property value.
3) They were already required to not modify the façade.
4) Therefore they would not actually lose any property value by making the promise.
5) Therefore the deduction is improper.
Now, I suppose you could debate whether the facts laid out here are true or not. But, as stated in the article, this deduction is highly improper and Gomez is a cheater.

It was Jack Cole, it was on WNAC, and he was suspended for a week, not fired.
Transparent bins (0 Replies)
Or even no bins. My wife was a student in London in the 90s, and there were no public trashcans anywhere. You carried your trash with you and when you got home, you threw it out.
Another alternative would be to use bins kind of like the solar-powered compactors that you see sometimes… with a small opening so you can’t get a pressure cooker in there, and with a solid construction that could withstand the blast created by any sort of bomb that could fit.

Natick (0 Replies)
As of 3PM, at least 2 precincts in Natick (#1 and #3) already had over 50% turnout!
I don't know (0 Replies)
The various pollwatchers *and* a police officer were all involved in clearing it up. It said that I was voter #226 so I’m pretty confident it didn’t get powered off or lose data.
Ours jammed (1 Reply)
The scanning machine at my precinct was jammed for a couple of minutes. They were able to get it working though quickly enough.
Natick, pct 4 (0 Replies)
At 8:20 AM I was number 226. Turnout looked very very good.
Irene & Sandy (0 Replies)
I thought Irene was a once in a generation storm. Now it’s Sandy that is, and it’s hard to find any mention of Irene, which was an extraordinary storm (just ask anybody in Vermont)… maybe because to mention the two storms in the same sentence would be too much of a tacit admission of reality?

They did finally find the missing syrup, but the fact that it went missing in the first place doesn’t inspire confidence in Canadian maple syrup…

It’s a silly thing to say? So I should feel free to gather signatures for candidate X, make people think they’ve signed for him, and then pitch them in the trash? I’m pretty sure that sort of thing is election fraud.
4) The media (0 Replies)
Let’s not underestimate the media’s interest in having a (roughly) tied race. It is far more interesting, and sells more newspapers and eyeballs on the evening news, to have a competitive race than to have a blow-out. We have so far in this campaign seen the liberal Globe fawn over Scott Brown and we’ve seen the conservative Herald criticize him, when it suited them. When it brought the then-leader down to the level of the other candidate. When it sold more papers.
One more thing (0 Replies)
You are also required to submit every single signature you gather, even if they are obviously fake, like “Mickey Mouse”. And god help you if you’re a liberal community organization like ACORN and are forced to submit fake signatures that make you look skeezy. Why, you might even be forced out of business for following the law!
Such a cute exclamation point! (0 Replies)
1) You don’t know that he did this. Somebody on his campaign sure did, but we don’t yet know who. (Yes, he probably had something to do with it, but it’s not a sure thing.)
2) Lots of people have lost a primary and come back to win the next time around. People like … hmm, having a hard time thinking of an example. Oh yeah, like Mitt Romney.
3) My original point, dim-witted though you may deem it, is that you can’t distance him easily from the GOP just by saying he’s not the nominee. I might as well write off your opinion and actions by the same measure. You’re not the nominee, so nothing you say should be held as representative of, well, anything. Right?
