It’s the cognitive dissonance, stupid

December 8, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

Orcinus settles the anti-war marginalization battle with this paragraph [found through Atrios]:So really, what doesn't help matters is evading the issue by implying the people who opposed the Iraq war -- that is, the people who were right-- … [Read more...]

What he (I) said

December 6, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

I agree with Atrios on the Michael Moore-shunning nonsense. I don't care about Moore in particular, but it's ridiculous to think that he's costing us votes, any more than Bill O'Reilly costs the Republicans votes. That's not why the good … [Read more...]

The grassroots demand better hacks

December 3, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

Wow. Democrats outraised Republicans $397mil to $385mil, and still got our butts kicked. Thanks for that, Terry McAuliffe: even when we at the grassroots and netroots gave you and your cronies every opportunity to win, the feckless … [Read more...]

We’re already paying for it

December 2, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

One of the major points of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation report on covering the uninsured in MA is that many people could be newly insured by the same money that we're now spending on Uncompensated Care, e.g. when an uninsured … [Read more...]

Total chaos

December 1, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

Shhh.... listen closely ... hear that? That's the sound of total freakin' chaos. Right here, in Massachusetts! (No, not that! That's just crickets.)Well, that's what the Liberty Counsel (from FL) told the US Supreme Court would ensue if gay … [Read more...]

60 Minutes on steroids

November 29, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

I disagree with Oliver Willis that CNN should become a liberal Fox News. Nope, what we really need is a bad-ass, take-no-prisoners, Joe-Friday-just-the-facts-ma'am, let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may, old time Woodward-'n-Bernstein, [insert … [Read more...]

Return on Investment

November 23, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

Looks like Mitt tried to get out in front of the health care issue, with the support of some small business groups. I haven't yet seen his plan, but I'll be looking at it in the context of the report by the Urban Institute for the Blue … [Read more...]

Mawage

November 23, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

and wuv, twue wuv...Yup, nobody does it better than Massachusetts. Makes me feel sad for the rest. Lowest divorce rate in the country. (Aside: Did you know there was a "Divorce Magazine"? Me neither.)Let's be proud of this, since … [Read more...]

That ain’t natural

November 19, 2004 By Charley on the MTA

Well, old Mitt seems to be upset that the Cape Wind project will spoil the view, regardless of how much pollution (and associated cost) it would prevent. Let's remind ourselves the the Cape has the worst air in the state.You know, I think … [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.
