Jon, I love the Battle Hymn of the Republic! Gotta love a sing wih Jesus smiting enemies with a terrible, swift sword!

Funny, Jon, but a judge said the Patrick had the Constitutional right to declare and emergenct. And funny about the objections now, especially when Romney used the power 14 times without objection.

Check the legislative history of it all Jason, and you'll find your conclusions aren't correct.

Gene

Gee, Bill. Sorry to be categorized an in "infrequent flier". Now we know why the forums have slowed down.....

Still say it's much ado about nothing.

About Edwards, the guy's a creep.

But having Hillary as a wife, on balance, didn't seem to slow Slick Willie a bit - 2 term President and everything!

This whole thing doesn't rank very high on my Trouble-O-Meter. In fact, doesn't rank at all.

When Jimmy Carter was inaugurated, we watched it in class. When Ronald Reagan was shot, we all sent cards to him in the hospital. And the big deal is....what? Does the right fear some sort of cult of personality, aka Kim Jong Il in North Korea? News flash: Not going to happen.

Figure out why that is so. Because animals are generally considered property and any loss of that property is generally l...

Well, I'm pro-gun, like good lawyers who aren't sharks, don't mind paying my taxes at all, don't mind following laws that make sense and promote good order as long as they aren't repressive, reactionary or hastily drawn and have an increasingly intense dislike for conservatives unless they shape the...

Can't be anything too objectionable, Justin - it's all in good fun.

Just teasing you, Bill. As long as you recognize Boston as the Hub of the Universe, you'll do!

Or All Hail To Massachusetts dressed as Abigail Adams!

You were vociferous in your defense of the South, and especially Richmond's memorial to the Confederacy in the past. I'm thinking..... Interesting to note that, for obvious and legitimate reasons, the developments of who and how Kennedy's seat will be filled is front page, above the fold headlines h...
