Republican candidate Charlie Baker kindly gave me a few minutes of his time at the tail end of his appearance at Forte’s Parts Connection in Framingham today. He talks about what is necessary to get small business’ going
He answered my “support the Republicans” question a lot better than a former Republican governor I once asked did. Also compared to me he is REALLY tall.
Update: An FYI No Bloggola was exchanged for this interview, silly me.
I haven’t gotten my cut? I must be doing something wrong.

According to Tucker Carlson (who hasn’t hired me even slightly) or more properly Jonathan Strong says at least half of conservative bloggers are getting paid for coverage.
To that I say. I wish! Today I was at the Charlie Baker event in Framingham. I got up at 5, filled up the car, bought batteries and spent 95 minutes on the road at Rush Hour to get to Forte’s Parts connection in Framingham
where he was appearing. Once there Interviewed the owner, one of his competitors who was there for the appearance, Charlie Baker, Mary Connaughton (Candidate for Auditor) and two state rep candidates Ed McGrath and Chris Resmini. I walked in the door back home just after 12 noon.
Once I got home I started uploading pictures and videos so they could be posted and shared with people interested in Massachusetts races. If you have to count the dollars I got for doing this, I’d say it amounts to nearly…..nearly one. Call it none.
I am very out of work and have been for a long time. If any of the people that the Daily caller seems to know wants to help kick in to pay for this I’d be more than happy to take their money. If candidates who want coverage want to pay me to go anywhere in the country to cover their story, I’d love to do it, but the daily caller not withstanding it’s more like what Robert Stacy said today:
Most conservative bloggers are part-timers, for whom a couple of hundred dollars a month would be a godsend. Trying to “monetize” Web traffic is a notoriously difficult task, and even successful full-time bloggers aren’t exactly “farting through silk,” to borrow P.J. O’Rourke’s colorful phrase.
That’s me all over, so Tucker if you know republicans willing to finance conservative bloggers send them right over.
Oh and here are the photos from the appearance:

Sure it’s legal but that’s only because it’s not against the law!

I know there are times when I hit the publish button much too fast, or accidentally erase a word or two but this is the New York Times, they have you know editors?
But many of Mr. DeLay’s actions remain legal only because lawmakers have chosen not to criminalize them.
and just to show they are fair minded they point out that Nancy Pelosi is also not breaking the law in the very same way! Does that mean they want her to resign?
Hey once we start permitting actions just because they aren’t illegal where will it end? Apparently in Nicaragua.
All last week we heard about Blago, being “vindicated” after he was found guilty of a single charge out of over a dozen, There has been commentary hitting the prosecution for bringing such a poor case. We won’t hear the same complaints about what happened to Delay because as an effective republican he meets the “Just Because” standard.
Can someone please explain to me why these people have a writing job and I don’t?
