From Bay State Bombast:
Governor Deval Patrick hasn’t given up on his legislation to legalize casino gambling in Massachusetts. He didn’t say where the casinos would be located, but Tony Orlando and Dawn recently announced they’ve been booked at Plimoth Plantation.
Newton Mayor David Cohen, whose plan to renovate one of the city’s high schools started at $40 million and has now reached almost $200 million, asked for a 28 percent raise, and then decided not to run for re-election. However, he may retire with a disability after a routine medical examination turned up massive amounts of nerve.

“I don’t know if Barack Obama’s getting tired or what, but in a recent speech, Barack Obama made a mistake. He said he had visited all 57 states. Yeah, that’s what he said. After hearing this, President Bush said, ‘Haha, he forgot Alaska and Hawaii!'” –Conan O’Brien
“That was so sweet, because at the reception, President Bush danced with his lovely daughter. It’s the first time he has led in eight years.” –David Letterman
“Yesterday on ‘Live with Regis and Kelly,’ John McCain showed one of his baby pictures. That was nice. The picture was on loan from the Museum of Natural History. Yeah, it was beautiful. It shows him discovering fire and bringing it to the village.” –Conan O’Brien
