A modest proposal to reduce gun violence and mass murder

January 11, 2013 By bostonshepherd

There seems to be a commonality among most if not all of the recent gun-using mass murderers: (1) serious, clinical mental illness, (2) recent gun purchases, and (3) intensive, violent video gaming. This isn't a perfect predictor, but I … [Read more...]

Wither Elizabeth Warren’s American Indian Heritage

May 16, 2012 By bostonshepherd

Now that Warren cannot support her claim of Cherokee heritage, I feel she needs to answer the following questions: (1) For a number of years, before and after her arrival at HLS, she listed herself as "Native American" and was promoted … [Read more...]

Is Elizabeth Warren the sole Native American on the HLS’s faculty?

May 5, 2012 By bostonshepherd

A Harvard Crimson article from 1998 welcoming Lani Guinier to the HLS faculty says so explicitly.  Of course, it's a student newspaper and could be wrong. It's not the crime, it's the cover up! … [Read more...]

Why no posts on Libya?

March 22, 2011 By bostonshepherd

Been away for a while and just returned to BMG.  Couple of questions ... what's up with the vertical banner ads between posts, do I have Firefox set wrong, or do I need MS Explorer? Secondly, where is ANY discussion of Libya or other … [Read more...]

The Globe Endores Mary Connaughton

October 26, 2010 By bostonshepherd

And despite that endorsement, I'm STILL going to vote for her. Wondering what the BMG loyalists think of this endorsement.  I really thought if the Globe couldn't endorse Bump, they'd endorse no one, so it was a real surprise for me … [Read more...]

Massachusetts health care performing badly?

March 1, 2010 By bostonshepherd

Today's WSJ has a rather negative article on the state of our state's universal health insurance program. Before everyone at BMG has a cow just because it was the WSJ that leveled this criticism, perhaps you can read the (free) op ed piece … [Read more...]

Can we have a REAL scientific debate now?

February 15, 2010 By bostonshepherd

One facet I love about BMG is its capacity for debate (most of the time.)  Although I hardly ever agree with the political views of its bloggers, there was always the room to debate. Except on "global warming," a term since changed to … [Read more...]

A huge pleasure to join @RepDylan as he launched the #Massachusetts Friends of UK Legislative Caucus at the home of the @FCDOPeterAbbott. It was wonderful to talk about how we can collaborate to benefit constituents and deepen long-standing ties! #mapoli

If you're familiar with #mapoli I have questions for you!

My intern is applying for an internship there - obvs I'm thrilled. 😊 What should she know about how the MA legislature is staffed? What other essential knowledge would you pass along?

It's April in #mapoli which means budget season is in full swing. The House will soon pitch a tax relief proposal alongside their 2024 fiscal plan.
