Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Observations on politics, the media and life in Massachusetts and beyond from the left side of the road. Blue Mass. Group. Commentary from the Commonwealth. Sunday, August 04, 2013. John Henry didn't just fall off the soybean truck. The chances of him messing with the Globe's Red Sox coverage.

Friday, January 27, 2006. Because I said so. Like a parent dealing with a petulant child, W is telling the nation to eat its broccoli (even if Dad hates it). Make its bed and don't talk back. He knows what's best for us and gosh darn, we'd better listen. In the space of one news conference. He was just going to keep ...

Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Observations on politics, the media and life in Massachusetts and beyond from the left side of the road. Blue Mass. Group. Commentary from the Commonwealth. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. The sight of a grown man weeping is something that will always stop you as you flip through the channels. But the sight of a Republican congressman weeping after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges struck me as phony. As also noted, it was the second time in two weeks the smaller fry ha...

Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Observations on politics, the media and life in Massachusetts and beyond from the left side of the road. Blue Mass. Group. Commentary from the Commonwealth. Sunday, July 14, 2013. The headlines this morning suggest it may be time to rethink the once unthinkable. One hundred and fifty years ago, the nation was at war with itself. The War Between the States reflected a house divided. Half slave and half free. Hundreds and thousands of lives were lost. While they continue t...

Commentary from the Commonwealth. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Good times must be here - Washington is in the throes of "gate" fever. The trio of "scandals" range from ludicrous to serious, but that hasn't stopped Republicans and the media to pack up all of our real troubles to focus on headline grabbing. But what truly sen...

Saturday, October 29, 2005. But what has the Theocons in high dundgeon? What are the so-called arbiters of our morality irked about? That Harriet Miers, a crony appointment by a phony moralist was not willing to openly pledge fealty to their narrow causes on the Theocon altar. They have been silent when one of their ...

Saturday, August 03, 2013. You think John Henry waited until after midnight to seal the deal. Just to scoop the Herald? Or force them to report on something other than their Internet radio station. But to read the Grey Lady is to feel the unmitigated sense of relief. Similar words have been uttered by local business ...

Commentary from the Commonwealth. Saturday, May 11, 2013. What's all this I hear about Ben Gazzara. Hours before the House of Representatives is set to vote for the 30-something time. Was necessary in releasing talking points about the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi. Ask any public relations profe...

Saturday, August 27, 2005. It depends on the meaning of. (Part 2). Tanned, rested and ready. Well maybe ready. It's really fascinating to match conservatives struggle with the language and the meaning of common words. It's also fascinating to hear the silence when the outrageous words emanate from the Right.

Tuesday, October 01, 2013. Lots of fingers are being pointed, but only one man is responsible for the government shutdown: John Boehner. The House Speaker has consistently and repeatedly put politics and party above the greater good as he has catered to a rump faction of his own party. Instead, he has foisted more th...
