"Guess what poll the governor has posted?
Your opinion of a 19-cent gas tax? (Wrong.)
Your opinion of local aid cuts? (Wrong again.)
Should he run for re-election? (Still wrong.)
For the coin collectors, the governor has posted a poll asking what you’d most like to see on the back of a Bay State commemorative quarter."

"It’s the kind of prim summer dress women once wore to church 30 years ago. Except Liz McDonough is standing in a dingy mob hangout, purse on her arm, white high heels on her feet. And she’s trading a coy glance with a monster named Whitey Bulger.
Two of the other gangsters flanking her in this classic state police surveillance photo are dead: Liz’s boyfriend, Angiulo lieutenant Nicky Giso, and Winter Hill front man George Kaufman.
The fourth thug is Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, who is going to die in prison."

"SEOUL, South Korea — Dashing through a kaleidoscopic tour of the far East in her first outing as U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton is back in full campaign mode.
But instead of selling herself as a presidential candidate, Clinton is pitching the still-emerging foreign policy of her former rival, President Barack Obama."

"With economic news getting worse every day, how are we supposed to stay a hopeful, resilient society?
President Obama is our chief planner (the stimulus plan is his baby after congressional Republicans renounced it), our commander in chief (he’s sending 17,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan), our chief spender ($2.9 trillion at last count). And now he is our cheerleader in chief.
