And now the moonbats come out of their mother's basement to start the attacks. This blog is pure fiction, and the writer knows it. Brown was reading what the students wrote, profanity and all. As for the excitement around the photos, Brown was a successful male model when he was young. If Minnesota can send a washed up comedian to the senate, why should the moonbats have a problem with a successful, career oriented self made man who happened to be a male model in his early years.

BTW for all of you who seem to have nothing better to do than to dig up some magazine article that was 25 years ago, why don't you all find something worth whining about....at least he paid for his education and made himself what he is by himself and had the added benefit of his sister sending in the photo...like I said, perhaps you all should research the facts before throwing the stones....

Perhaps you all should get your facts straight...senator Brown was reading "Actual" comments that were written from a blog by those students. He did not pull the "profanity" out of thin air. Perhaps these parents that were so SHOCKED should maybe check on their own little angels who hide behind screen names to bully people online...kudos to a politician that exposed these cyber bullies w/o making up excuses & or candy coating the siruation. Sen. Brown did apologize to the other parents and students that had nothing to do w/ the situation. How can anyone Rep. or Dem. even have an honest view od any candidate when they act like children themselves playing the blame game, lying, etc. These people are examples to all of us & I would be proud to have a political figure like Sen.Brown representing my state/country. He goes to the source and not hide behind excuses. Am I a republican, no. But, I vote for those who are strong & not mere puppets of their party and have a mind of their own. Good for you Sen. Brown! You're a public figure I would vote for! to bad I'm in Maine!

Nice blog!
My understanding is that the Scott campaign paid a fee of $2925.00 to the FEC for filing one report late.

Sorry Mikemenlo. According to wikipedia, Judge Murphy sued both Pat Purcell (Herald Publisher) and Carr. It was Carr, in his column and on a blog that he said "if Judge Murphy's daughters were raped, then the Judge would be harder on criminals."

Maybe Howie is right? No that I am trying to defend this shock jock, but he's always trying to expose corrupt MA officials. Just keep and eye on Brian Wallace, I would not be surpised to see him in a nice desk job working for the state.

Howie Carr is a big fat liar. Wallace says Carr is a very bad writer. Carr's pants are on fire. Better watch out Howie because Whitie's gonna getcha. Carr's wife Kathy got it in the back side from that big man, Riddick. Bowe made Kathy Carr moan ohhhhh.

Howie Carr always seems to me as the personification of a "sleazeball". For all of his frequently mentioned "preppie" background he grovels in the dirt with relish.

This should not surprise anyone. Howie is one of the most corrosive presences on the talk radio insanity tour. It is more sad that he has a following than that he is so outrageous himself. Do you think he will go to hell?

Tis 'bout time she surfaced again. Of course it's really. Cryptozoology, man. And it can't hurt tourism either. Hell, we could use a Nessie, a Champie or an Ogopogo here on the Cape.

In response to: Media Hitman knocked off by Finneran "Hit Job"
Interesting that the crime Tom Finneran plead guilty to involved the exclusion of blacks from certain districts to ensure certain white legislators kept their seats, had Finneran been a republican Deval Patrick would have been calling for his execution, but there he is mucking it up as if racially biased gerry mandering is ok.
Howie is certainly a hypocrite and a big bag of wind, but at least he admits it. Our new governor I fear may be an idiot. I can't wait to see what he gets indicted for.

The fun and games in Beacon Hill continue. The NY Times and The Worcester Telegram today report that MITT is buying conservative endorsements with his personal wealth.

Biased? Who's biased? In his interview with Cosmo Magazine, this thin skinned and vain state Senator Brown admitted that he likes to check out the bodies of men whenever he goes to the beach,and now he claims to be against gay marriage? Either he's a bigot or he's living in the closet and subconsciously wants to come out. Either way, when he had his meltdown and started cursing at those children, he could have handled it like a senator should, not like another child. So as Scott Brown likes to say, "You know you are, but what am I?"

Read these articles that aren't completly biased against him, unlike the one's post above:

If you read the news articles, that's not how it really went down. Brown read the comment written by two students, not everyone. And he wasn't out of control, he was just trying to show a different view of the debate.
If you ask me I think those kids deserved to be called out. They need to be held accountable for their actions. High school kids always want to be "treated like adults" but they can't accept responsibility for their own words. It's better to learn this lesson now than when their older.
Brown wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings; he was just making a point about hate speech. The kids were dishing out their own hate speech against Brown while trying to say that people should be tolerant of all lifestyles? You can't have it both ways. You need to be tolerant of everyone, even those who don't share your view.

A. What is he doing with his left hand?
b. Why doesn't he just blame his freakout on "a bad reaction to medication" and check into rehab?

About This Blog

Mercy Otis an 18th century Cape Cod patriot is alive here. "Come swallow your bumpers, ye Tories, and roar, That the Sons of fair Freedom are hamper'd once more; But know that no Cut-throats our spirits can tame, Nor a host of Oppressors shall smother the flame. "In Freedom we're born, and, like Sons of the brave, Will never surrender, But swear to defend her, And scorn to survive, if unable to save..." The Massachusetts Song of Liberty.
