Boston Tea Party 2.0

As the sun rises this morning and bathes in pinks and reds and yellows the frost-covered expanses of the fruited plain, Americans everywhere are stirring.  America’s true awakening, however,  came last night in the form of victory at the polls for Scott Brown, an unknown state senator from Wrentham, Massachusetts only a few months ago, [...]

For Freedom

History, it seems, has a singular sense of irony. For all I know, Tuesday, January 19, 2010 may in the end be relegated to a minor historical footnote. Conversely, this day–tomorrow–may also be one about which people tell their children and grandchildren. No great war will be fought, however; no one will remember the heroic [...]

Coakley: Desperately Out of Touch

Hat tip to Michelle Malkin on this one.  Malkin has been all over Martha Coakley’s habit of sticking her foot in her mouth.  And Coakley, of course, has been more than generous with regard to providing new material. First, Coakley decided to use the World Trade Center as a symbol of Scott Brown’s “Wall Street [...]

An Egregious Lapse in Judgment

Pretend, for a moment, that you are a dad.  It’s one of those lazy Sundays of summer, and you decide to bring your four-year-old son with you to the local supermarket. “I have to go potty,” the boy says, doing that funny little dance that all kids do.  And so you park your cart at [...]

Hey, Martha — it’s M-A-S-S-A-C-H-U-S-E-T-T-S

Thanks to the sharp eye of the folks over at MassLive (and with a hat tip to Ed Morrissey over at HotAir), we’ve found out that wanna-be Massachusetts senator Martha Coakley released an advertisement in which the name of the state she wants to represent was misspelled. Take a look for yourself at a screenshot [...]

Dirty Tricks Didn’t Die With Kennedy

Could it be possible that Ted Kennedy has brought about more dirty tricks and dirty politics in death than he did in life? Back in 2004, when Teddy was still the “liberal lion” of the U.S. Senate and when his colleague in Massachusetts, John Kerry, looked likely to prevail over incumbent George W. Bush in [...]

#41 — An In-Depth Look at the Upcoming Massachusetts Special Election

One of the things that I’ve pointed out about my own life in some of my past works here at America’s Right is that I’ve been a huge sports fan since I was a very small kid. Like so many who live in my area, following the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots [...]

Paging Number Sixty

According to the Associated Press, the Massachusetts senate has approved legislation permitting Gov. Deval Patrick to name a successor to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. The bill should be signed by the end of the week. This decision, while certainly no surprise, is about as hypocritical as it gets. Yes, it was Kennedy himself who, [...]

Even the Younger Kennedys Show Class

How lovely. This appears to be Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, daughter of Caroline and granddaughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, extending a greeting to onlookers as the funeral procession for her great uncle works its way through the streets of Boston. If that had been Bristol Palin, imagine the outcry from the mainstream press. [...]

The Kennedy Kids, Exploited to the Extreme

Full disclosure here: on Saturday morning, I was en route to Atlantic City for a buddy’s bachelor party. Thankfully, my friend is as obsessed with American politics as I am, so we were in the car listening to the funeral service for Ted Kennedy, waiting to see if it would be exploited to benefit those [...]
