Governor Patrick in Newburyport

Governor Deval Patrick stopped by Cafe Di Siena in Newburyport one evening a couple of weeks ago to have a conversation with a few local supporters.

Here are a few pictures.

Why a blog?

I'm one of those people who was lucky enough to have had a computer and the internet in the house when the operating system was Windows 286 (did I say 'lucky?'), and for whom the internet has become a constant tool at hand that I use for almost everything I need. Research is second nature: when I can't think of what to make for dinner, I google a list of what's in my refrigerator and see what comes up. When I want to know whether or not to trust a candidate, I find a list of his or her contributors.

A political animal by nature, I find the internet irresistible. The issues I find most compelling--those about election protection, voting rights, the integrity of the justice department, electronic voting machines--are the ones about which the internet is often the sole source. All politics ultimately lead to those issues. That those issues aren't on the front and editorial pages every day--or even sometimes--drives me insane.

When I read something that I think is well-written or insightful or startling or, well, news-worthy, I like to share. So I tend to send lots of emails that include links to the pieces I think other people will appreciate.

The reading is time-consuming, but often sending the links is even more so; I try to match the material I send to the people it will interest. (Yes, I think about each of you that often!) So this blog is the answer to my time-devouring dilemma, and hopefully, the solution to freeing up a little space in your in-box!

Below are links to some of the websites and blogs I visit often. Many of the links I post originate from one of them or from a link I found on one. If you look around and find yourself returning often to a particular site, check to see if that site offers a feed you can add to your homepage or if it publishes a daily newsletter to which you can subscribe. And if you have a favorite site not listed here, please share it with me!

I hope you'll bookmark the site and visit often. Let me know what you think. And thanks for visiting!
