Putting Nuclear Power in SOME perspective

March 14, 2011 By smart-mass 46 Comments

The thing that most impressed me about the nuclear power plants was that everything on site is massive. Inside each reactor building (the dome at Seabrook and MY, the "box" at VY), there is/was a crane capable of lifting the reactor core … [Read more...]

Fear Based Legislation and Bob Oakes?

October 8, 2009 By smart-mass Leave a Comment

The Doorbell Dilemma (NOT Palin, McCain, Gustav)

September 2, 2008 By smart-mass 5 Comments

How Many Homes Do you Own?

August 23, 2008 By smart-mass Leave a Comment

I'm not so concerned that McCain has 7, 8, 10 homes. What concerns me more is that he did not answer the question when asked. I believe his response was "ask my staff". So what are the possibilities? A) He really did not know how many homes … [Read more...]

If there was any doubt how much of a right-wing kook Dean Tran has become, note that “Senior Advisor to the campaign Rafaello Carone” is a Madison Cawthorn guy. #mapoli #ma3

Look at Dean Tran’s narcissistic whopper erasing the historic Dan Koh, Bopha Malone, and Beej Das campaigns in 2018.

“Apparently you can only achieve recognition as an Asian-Amerian if you’re a Republican.” Isn’t that right @massgop @JimLyonsMA ? #mapoli #ma3

Great article from @ditikohli_ at @BostonGlobe on Boston's historic lack of nightlife and where it's heading now. Good to see this touching on the ability of the City to attract talent and bring destinations to different neighborhoods. #mapoli #bospoli

"After a brief chase"

So, no 60 bullets to the back?!🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ Black folks run a stop sign and cops somehow can NEVER manage to capture POC alive. But when white folks massacre countless, they always somehow make it into custody safe and sound. Funny how that works! #BOSpoli #MApoli

BREAKING: 15 minutes ago, Robert Crimo was spotted by police. He fled from police. After a brief chase, he was stopped and arrested, police say. @cbschicago
