I can't decide if "All politics is local" is easier or harder to say when one lives as I do in EvoGayBortionachusetts the state that sits at the seat of The People's Republic of Awesome, and you watch it exert as much representational power as it can over the rest of the country, but it isn't enough, and all your friends get bummed out.

i'm not clear on this: are you in favor of or opposing massachusetts' liberal slant?

Perhaps you should take another crack at this journal post after you've had some more coffee?

I think you're expressing your dismay that the federal representives of Massachusetts, despite their best efforts, aren't able to rally more support in Congress for a progressive agenda.

If that's the case, I say: don't be so glum. The pendulum of politics never stops and, I suspect, it's swing back to the center again.

Everyone in the Bay State is an aborted gay fetus who believes in evolution.

You might think that that wouldn't be much of a constituency, but you'd be wrong. Apparently.

See, this is what shocks me... why haven't the Republicans tried courting us yet? We're obviously a strong constituency, we tend to vote as a bloc, we've got plenty of money to throw around (gay people + young people + dead people = MONEY!!!!)... I'm really surprised.

it is sort of annoying having a Senator that I now need to go beat upside the head with a 2x4...
