Due to technical issues, I heard only scattered snippets of the debate last night (so I did not realize how it went until learning this morning that they were all but rushing counselors and a case of Zoloft to stricken MSNBC commentators). At one point, however, the livestream kicked in just at the moment that…
Even if six things are going on at work, as they were today, I can usually grab what is being said on the radio, even if only on a tertiary level of attention. But this shorted my brain out with an audible sizzle when I heard it during a news break of the John Gibson…
“Pathetic” and “weak” would be good adjectives for this anti-Romney ad put out by AFSME. The ad opens this way: “My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney’s trash. We’re kind of like the invisible people. He doesn’t realize that the service we provide – if it wasn’t for us, it would…
Mass senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren purports to represent the little guy. Just ask her website. Washington is rigged to work for those who can hire an army of lobbyists and an army of lawyers to get special deals. It isn’t working for small businesses and middle class families.

As I just remarked via e-mail to GoLocalProv’s Dan McGowan, I had almost wrapped up a stinging post this evening about PolitiFact’s latest rating of a statement by Brendan Doherty. The post would have been entitled Doherty Was Right; PolitiFact Is Wrong – Cicilline “Volunteer” Ramirez Not The Source of the Funds That Repaid His…
Ah, the good times are so fleeting. PolitiFact has rated one of the items on the Doherty campaign’s Top 10 List of David Ciciline’s Most Serious Deceptions. (Love the concept, by the way. Bad elected officials need to be called out and their official misdeeds highlighted.) We decided to look at number four, which focused…
Here’s the way I see it. If Anthony Gemma wins (and I think that’s a bigger possibility than some people think), firstly, the state will be rid of a mendacious, duplicitous elected official (i.e., David Cicilline) who selfishly put his own political career far ahead of honesty and the best interest of the people he…
