Murtha’s Million-Dollar Band-Aid

Murtha’s Million-Dollar Band-Aid

Sometimes, not even a million dollars can fix the damage a big mouth causes. Veteran Democratic Rep. John Murtha (Pa.) has sent out a last-minute plea for $1 million to save his hotly contested seat, endangered by his own remarks describing his district as racist.

When There’s No More Room In Hell, The Dead Will Vote In Florida

So apropos on Halloween… Thousands of dead Floridians are registered to vote and some in Central Florida had ballots cast in their names long after their deaths. "That is scary," said Jim Branch. Branch's mother Marjorie died in 2004 but someone voted for her in 2006. Branch had tried to get his mother removed from the voter [...]

Quote Of The Day

Quote Of The Day

Maybe there should've been a little pre-game coordination because this probably didn't come out the way Barack Obama had hoped. I haven't cleared this with him and he may even be mad at me for saying this so close to the election, but I know what else he said to his economic advisers (during the crisis). "Tell me what the right [...]

Barney Frank’s History Lesson

Jong: “Blood Will Run In The Streets”

In other words, if you racist Americans don't elect Barack Obama, you will pay dearly. A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, [...]

Bail-Out Bill=Incumbent Protection Spending

Bail-Out Bill=Incumbent Protection Spending

Did we not expect this? Give our lawmakers lots of money to spend and have it not always go where intended (and in an election year), but go where advantageous to incumbents…? Today the Emergency Economic Stabilization Plan, signed by President Bush on Oct. 3, involves the government taking direct equity stakes in banks, and at least one [...]

A Local Race

A Local Race

A fair write-up, for once… A Democratic incumbent and a Republican frustrated by what he describes as arrogance on Beacon Hill will face off Tuesday for a House seat that represents Orange and Athol. State Rep. Christopher J. Donelan, D-Orange, and Athol resident Robert E. Parks are seeking election to the 2nd Franklin District, which also [...]
