Quick! Here’s a couple not-quite-wicked-dusty-yet clips in which I’ve popped up lately. For those that care. (Hey, Mom!)
One is BoMag’s oral history of Teddy K, for which I interviewed a handful of former aides. In the interests of not killing journalism off completely, the thing’s not online. Half the city worked really hard putting this [...]

Here’s an interesting bit of news for you fans of insidery financial white papers and/or demonizing rich guys in fancy suits: A federal trade panel is reversing course and blaming recent oil spikes on commodities speculators.
Of course, readers who get their hottt financial news from the pages of glossy monthly magazines already knew the score. [...]

Just got word that my late column for bostonmagazine.com, the Hill and the Hall, is a finalist in the City and Regional Magazine Association’s annual awards contest. Even better, the category it’s up for isn’t Best Deployment of Blind Quotes. It’s best blog column!
Moreover, the mighty mighty bostonmagazine.com is a finalist for Excellence Online, and [...]
Mayoral Race Odds and Ends
January 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
So, that further analysis promised yesterday never materialized. Add an afternoon of Ray plus Rondo plus SCAL, mix in the Penalty Box, and you’ve got no bloggingses.
So here’s a couple things to keep in mind this morning.
First off, it goes without saying that, since Kevin McCrea is no longer unopposed, that endorsement of his unopposed candidacy [...]
Portfolio Does Dov, Beats Bush
October 31st, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
Portfolio’s November cover boy is American Apparel founder Dov Charney. It’s not a popular choice with the “We like real journalism in times of economic crisis” crowd.
Don’t worry, Dov. The reception’s much warmer here in my Department of Self-Promotion.
Charney sits on the national committee of the National Immigrant Bond Fund, which I spotlight in the November [...]

It’s been a hell of a year for scandal on Beacon Hill. Jim Marzilli went on a sexy rampage, there’s a grand jury investigating the Speaker’s former campaign treasurer, and the House Majority Leader might not be far behind.
The man who’s opposing him for control of the House [...]

The Hill and the Hall Week in Review
October 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Politics
(Cross-posted from the Commie rag Boston Daily)
Normally, this time of year, lawmakers would be at home defending their seats against their nonexistent opponents. This is not a normal year. And so the week began on Monday morning—“Wait ’til Next Year Day,” as the whiteboard outside the State House cafeteria christened it—with a five-hour marathon hearing. [...]
The Hill and the Hall Week in Review
October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Politics
(Cross-posted from Boston Daily)
Governor Deval Patrick put on his most seriousest face Thursday morning and warned everybody that his ambitious agenda, which was a bit beyond everybody’s reach to begin with, will remain even more so for the time being.

(Cross-posted from Boston Daily)
This city is dying for a great political race. What we’re getting instead is a race about race. And it’s going to be filthy.
Dianne Wilkerson is scrambling to retain her Senate seat. She lost last week’s Democratic primary to Sonia Chang-Diaz, and responded in familiar fashion: Surrounded by adoring supporters, she spoke [...]
