To keep in mind when thinking about Iowa…

January 12, 2020 By sabutai

Many people here are political junkies, so may already know much of what I'm going to say.  However, I thought it might be beneficial to remember how Iowa caucuses work at the ground level.  Attempts to allow people to participate remotely … [Read more...]

“Who will you support for Speaker?”

August 13, 2018 By sabutai

I've read innumerable articles about Democratic candidates for Congress coming out and saying they will not vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House.  Some 50 at last count.  I'm not here to debate whether that's a good choice for … [Read more...]

The rejections

November 12, 2016 By sabutai

Like all of us, I'm just trying to figure out how, and why Trump won, and what to do next.  But, unlike most analyses, I want to take an international angle, though. Sure, there's "Brexit" -- the surprising vote to leave the EU in … [Read more...]

Where do they stand? A BMG project proposed

August 3, 2016 By sabutai

In the wake of the most destructive 48 hours I've ever seen experienced by a presidential candidate, I propose a BMG project.  I would like to know of every Republican candidate in Massachusetts, incumbent or not: -For whom will you be … [Read more...]

My eyes stung 12 years ago

July 26, 2016 By sabutai

Watching the convention tonight, I felt pulled back in time.  Sometimes it seems that many activists have one campaign that remains steeped in rose and gold, enthusiasm with no cynicism, adoration without suspicion.  For me it was Howard … [Read more...]

Ginsburg gets (too?) real

July 12, 2016 By sabutai

I'm sure you've seen this by now... Justice Ginsburg has come out guns blazing on Donald Trump as president.  In a recent interview, she opined  "He is a faker...He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the … [Read more...]

Contest!

July 5, 2016 By sabutai

I'm announcing a contest here and now, prize to be a couple rounds next time the winner and I are at the same watering hole.  (If we ever hold a Sammitsch outside of the immediate Boston area, all the better.  Progressives often forget that … [Read more...]

The scourge of paid signature gatherers

June 3, 2016 By sabutai

It is such a frustration to go shopping and encounter a hired gun, being paid to gather signatures to get a referendum question on the ballot.  (And hired gun is much nicer than the phrase in my head).  Bumped into a guy the other day … [Read more...]

Voting Sanders for the fight that matters

February 28, 2016 By sabutai

For the first time in my adult life, I didn't decide whom I was backing for president until just last week.  I'd supported Clinton, Gore, Dean, Richardson then Clinton, and Obama for months before Iowa.  But 2016s was a tough choice. I … [Read more...]

I don’t want a “pro-business” judge.

February 15, 2016 By sabutai

I've read about some of the names bandied about for a replacement for the late Atonin Scalia, and am nauseated by repeated praise I see of Sri Srinivasan as a "pro-business moderate".   And that's because in our current climate … [Read more...]

U.S. bank system new rating = "negative"?

China & Brazil switch from USD $ to CNY Yuan?

7 serious BRICS nations are now BIGGER than G7 nations?

Massachusetts lost population since the before times. Most of the losses were in Suffolk & Middlesex Counties.

Cape, Islands, and Plymouth, Bristol, Worcester, and Hampshire counties gained.

Troubling video has surfaced showing a Massachusetts politician, belly up to the bar, slinging racial slurs and lashing out about a recall push to remove him from power.
