Snow Is Falling in Massachusetts

Posted on | January 17, 2010 | 8 Comments

FITCHBURG, Mass.
They’re expecting as many as 10 inches of snow by Monday morning. Excuse the long interruption of blogging. Technical difficulties and travel hassles — we went down to Boston today — conspired to prevent online action. This morning I reported on the working-class Catholic reaction to the Senate campaign:

St. Anthony of Padua Church has traditionally served an Italian blue-collar congregation and the politicial views of those in the pews at 8 a.m. mass may not be indicative of all Catholics in Massachusetts. With that disclaimer, however, Martha Coakley may be on the verge of the most brutal Catholic backlash since the Inquisition.
The Democratic attorney general’s adamant support of late-term abortion obviously puts her at odds with faithful Catholics, but many of those attending morning mass — including lifelong Democrats — were harshly critical of Coakley in other ways. Her round-the-clock negative ad blitz against Republican Scott Brown was repeatedly mentioned as “awful” and “horrible.”…

Read the rest at The American Spectator. I’m now on deadline for Monday’s Spectator. Will have photos, videos, etc., once deadline is cleared.

    Apologies to Fountains of Wayne.

    Hey Marth Coakley
    Don’t take it so bad
    You can prosecute some innocent family soon
    Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
    And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon

    Your Obama told you
    That you were his girl
    The kind of things that come to those who wait
    So give it a rest girl
    Take a deep breath girl
    And watch your rejection by Bay State tonight

    And the snow is coming down
    On our New England town
    And it’s been falling all day long
    What else is new
    What could I do
    I wrote a Scott Brown song
    To play for you

    And late January
    Can drag a liberal down
    You feel it deep in your gut
    Short days and afternoons spent pottering around
    In a dark house with the windows painted shut

    Remember Kennedy
    You are running for his seat
    You forgot it belongs to the people first
    From Western Massachusetts to the Cape
    Whiting out our streets along the way

    And the snow is coming down
    On our New England town
    And it’s been falling all day long
    What else is new
    What can I do
    But sing this Scott Brown song
    I wrote for you
