Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

    The meaning of Brown's Cape Cod Times endorsement

    Why the liberal Cape Cod Times endorses Scott Brown, at Powerline, and why a small newspaper's opinion matters. (Nothing to do with Coakley's inconceivable flub that Curt Schilling is a Yankee fan.)


    I think the O's frantic last-minute visit to MA today will help Brown, but we understand that the purpose is not to persuade, but to get out the unenthusiastic Dem vote.

    Related: Coakley counting on union muscle to win. No doubt. Did you ever hear of "union brains" applied to an election?


    Related: Hundreds turn out to greet Brown in Kennedy territory - Hyannis.


    Related from Auster, who refuses to get his hopes up (me neither, but I lie to myself all the time):



    The special Massachusetts election will be over on the night of January 19. Meaning that, if Brown wins, the signature measure of Obama's stunningly radical presidency will have been effectively killed exactly one year after Obama's inauguration. But, nope, I'm not investing any hopes in the prospect of Brown's winning. No sirree Bob.


     Related from Steyn (the whole thing is hilarious):



    America's preparing to celebrate the first anniversary of Good King Barack the Hopeychanger's reign by electing a Republican?


    In Massachusetts?


    In what the tin-eared plonkers of the Democrat machine still insist on calling "Ted Kennedy's seat"?

    From Steyn, to whom we linked yesterday in our post on the MA Senate race: As Michael Barone observed, "the educated class" was dazzled by style, the knuckledragging morons are talking about substance. They grasp that another year of 2,000-page, trilli
