O’Malley the Kingmaker

January 27, 2016 By sabutai

Surprised not to see much discussion of this five days out from Iowa.  For anyone fortunate enough not to see the perversion of democracy that is Iowa, there is a significant rule that bears mentioning. And it means the forgotten Democratic … [Read more...]

Does the presidency matter?

January 12, 2016 By sabutai

There are two rival spectacles on the television tonight -- the State of the Union and the advertisement marathon for people who want to deliver not the next State of the Union, but the one after that.  The pageantry is delightful, based on … [Read more...]

Comedy LIVE! Liveblogging tonight’s RNC debate

September 16, 2015 By sabutai

-Off we go then.  First impressions and introductions: the guy selling red ties in the parking lot must have made a killing.  Weird camera angle on Jake Tapper.  Huckabee calls his group the "A-Team"...it's another group with only one … [Read more...]

Erin Go Bragh

May 23, 2015 By sabutai

Like many of us here, I can be cynical about politics.  But how can one be cynical today?  The men and women of Ireland, in the privacy of the voting booth, made a global first by voting by an almost a 2:1 margin for marriage equality.  42 … [Read more...]

Place a quid on next month’s big election?

April 13, 2015 By sabutai

Okay, I'll admit, quid is the only "Britishism" I could work into the title.  But the UK election right now is more fascinating than anything we're likely to see over here.  Some highlights: The Scottish Nationalist Party lost a … [Read more...]

Massachusetts Needs to Act on Civil Forfeiture

March 24, 2015 By sabutai

So, when a listing of states comes out regarding civil liberties or quality of life, I generally expect Massachusetts to be near the top.  We were kind of ahead of the curve in the 1770s and I'd like to believe we've stayed there … [Read more...]

State body proposes to screw employee health care because it won’t balance a budget fairly

January 28, 2015 By sabutai

Stop me if you've heard this one before.  The government makes promises to those willing to accept pay cuts to work for it.  The state doesn't provide the funding to meet those promises, and then declares that those silly enough to believe … [Read more...]

It’s Boston 2024

January 8, 2015 By sabutai

For better or ill (opinions vary), Boston will be representing the United States in its bid for the 2024 Olympic Games.  Given the recent rapprochement between American and International Olympic officials, and the span of time since the … [Read more...]

Thoughts about Boston 2024

December 14, 2014 By sabutai

I've accepted that people here are more worried about Boston 2024 than Baker 2015.  Depending on rumors instead of facts isn't too impressive, though.  I don't claim to have worked for a bid, just having done some university level work on … [Read more...]

Your top 5

October 9, 2014 By sabutai

When things are slow in the sports world, the guys (almost all guys) on sports talk debate their "top 5" lists: quarterbacks, all-time basketball greats, etc. Much of the time they talk about people I only vaguely know. I root for the home … [Read more...]
