I am really enjoying the brand new “one-stop portal for all the news you need on the 2009 Boston elections” from the Dorchester Reporter, my adopted* hometown paper.
And it's not just for Dot Rats! This came in this morning from the Lit Drop.

*Because I do not qualify for the “Originally from Dorchester” bumper sticker that so many deserters living on the south shore and the cape have on their cars, I'm trying to raise some dough to print some “Dot Rats:still loving and living in Dorchester” shirts for us to wear on our great city beaches.
