‘Our Small Is Their Large’

Da Tech Guy absolutely insisted that I must visit Mighty Subs in Needham, Mass., home of the giantic 20-inch sub famous for the motto, “Our Small Is Their Large.” And so I did. Big hands, big feet, big nose, big sandwich . . . Da Tech Guy orders his “chicken parm” at Mighty Subs. Well, as we […]

VIDEO: New Scott Brown Ad Hits Martha Coakley for Ties to Lobbyists

(Hat-tip: Michael Graham.) UPDATE: You want to see how demoralized Democrats are about the distinctly unlikeable Martha Coakley’s horribly bad campaign? Check out the desperate arguments made by a liberal Massachusetts  blogger. (Hat-tip: Memeorandum.) I’m currently on deadline for The American Spectator and don’t have time to do a lot of aggregation right now — much […]

Scott Brown Meets the Press

FITCHBURG, Mass. “This is a big tent campaign,” Republican Scott Brown told reporters today at Boston’s Omni Parker House hotel. “I’m not into labels.” Brown responded to questions about a Boston Globe story that distorted the Senate candidate’s remarks about the Tea Party movement.

Just Bought My Ticket to Boston

An eight-hour train ride on two hours sleep? Yeah, I can do that, for a “far-right teabagger”: Martha Coakley is running to fill the rest of Ted Kennedy’s term, and her opponent is a far-right tea-bagger Republican. . . .

Kos Spins Mass. Senate Campaign: ‘Teabaggers’ Doom Scott Brown?

Jumping in Pools gives this spin a thorough fisking, but here’s just a taste of Kos in whistle-past-the-graveyard mode: Brown has been caught in a vice. His support from teabaggers was critical to becoming competitive . . . On the other hand, that conservative support has come at a cost. . . . The teabaggers demand ideological purity, and he’s […]

Massachusetts’ Chief Law Enforcement Official Ignores Political Assault; UPDATE: DSCC’s Meehan Apologizes

UPDATE 4:45 p.m. ET: Michael “I Work For Me” Meehan admits he was “was a little too aggressive” with John McCormack — a convenient admission, considering that the incident was caught on video and photographs.

Scott Brown: Taking Sexy Back

Wow, how did I miss this story? Long before he was a politician, the Republican candidate vying for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmo. Scott Brown won our “America’s Sexiest Man” contest and appeared in the June 1982 issue. In those days he was a 22-year-old law student at […]

Is Martha Coakley Even Sleazier Than
Tila Tequila? BUMPED: Reporter Hassled

Tila is arguably the nadir of celebrity sleaze, but at least she’s not running for the Senate: Democrat Martha Coakley is the voice of the “little people” the way Ted Kennedy was the voice of sobriety. That’s from Michelle Malkin’s column and you should read the whole thing, which makes clear just what kind of sold-out hack Martha Coakley […]
