An Obama victory? Not here.

November 5, 2008 By smalltownguy 23 Comments

SmallTown is, if nothing else, small. So everyone goes to vote at one of our two elementary schools. Yesterday morning when I showed up it was a zoo. Seeing all of my fellow-citizens turning up kindled a faint hope that SmallTown might go … [Read more...]

Thank you, John Kerry

November 2, 2008 By liberalcowgirl 7 Comments

If Kerry won, I believed we would be able to divert the war in Iraq away from a ruinous course that was weakening our military, our economy and our national security.  It would allow us to shift the focus of the fight against terrorism … [Read more...]

Honey, I Shrunk the Globe!

October 29, 2008 By smalltownguy 18 Comments

Bad jokes about the Globe's new "G-spot" aside, the paper is shrinking in more ways that one. I refer to the continuing dismal quality of its election coverage. Time was, a national election was a golden opportunity for a first-rate paper … [Read more...]

Globe Scores Again!

October 4, 2008 By smalltownguy 2 Comments

Talk about low expectations.  I'm always excited when the Globe's national political reporting rises, however briefly, above the mediocre. Today (Oct. 4) was not one of those days. On the front page, Brian C. Mooney's story "Obama … [Read more...]

McCain’s loss in perspective

October 2, 2008 By smalltownguy Leave a Comment

One of John McCain's most notable accomplishments has a strong Massachusetts tie-in.  It's when he and John Kerry worked to repair and ultimately restore relations with Vietnam. In hindsight their efforts paid off in several … [Read more...]

John Kerry and the Road to 60. Gives $1million to Dem Senate Candidates

September 30, 2008 By medfieldbluebob 10 Comments

He's also made this a challenge to the rest of us to contribute. ("Mom can I have a couple of mill? Please? Jeanne needs a little love up in New Hampshire") We have a chance to get a filibuster-proof majority at 60 (add another one or two … [Read more...]

Yikes.

Adam Bass@AdamBassWCCS

The idea of a Pro Life Trump supporter winning Suffolk 19 is not out of the ordinary. Winthrop is particular is much more right leaning that Revere. And Revere got severely out voted. When Capobianco had his story, that left you with two progressives. #mapoli

.@CDCgov dir. @RWalensky, once part of MA's #COVID19 advsy board, said

"Now is not the time to relax the critical safeguards that we know can stop the spread of COVID-19 ... not when we are so close."

But @MassGovernor pushes to reopen.

Who is advising Gov. Baker now?

It's time to state outright that Charlie Baker's science advisory team is the Chamber of Commerce. That's why we were slow to act last year, why our public health network got ignored on vaccines & why our reopenings have flown in the face of data, expert advice & common sense. https://twitter.com/MikeConnollyMA/status/1366423893276303364

Mike Connolly@MikeConnollyMA

Just reiterating my COVID philosophy: Instead of bucking advice from the CDC and Dr. Fauci (by further reopening the Mass. economy), we should #TaxTheRich and use the new revenue to provide cash relief to people in need and small businesses while also investing in health equity.

A Rhode Island-sized piece of ice just broke of Antarctica. The video of the breach in a 500-foot thick Brunt Ice Shelf is absolutely staggering
