Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Friday, May 30, 2003 :::
The Massachusetts Senate engaged in all sorts of mischief last night. They passed a statewide smoking ban, and voted to repeal or gut the voter-approved "clean elections" law, the voter-approved limitations on bilingual education, and the requirement that students pass the MCAS test to graduate from high school.
None of this got a roll call vote.
In other local news, the Red Sox traded third-baseman Shea Hillenbrand for a pitcher. I like Hillenbrand because he seems to make a remarkable catch every once in a while (I guess he's good at the plate, too, but that's not why I like the guy). But the people who know (at least on the radio and in the paper this morning) seem to agree that this is a good trade for the Sox.
