We ran around three bushes today — the Speaker of the House, Boston’s Mayor and Lowell government.
Exiting Speaker Sal DiMasi leaves in a cloud redolent of corruption. Likely successor Robert Deleo (more than likely; John Rogers bowed to him moments ago) is likely a bit less progressive than DiMasi. Yet, we can’t know that until […]

We looked into what President (ahem, amen) Obama said, underlying meaning, and likelihood of some or all of it happening.
We’re figuring on:
