Burdening scooterists is a giant step backwards for Massachusetts.

Having your heart in the right place is not enough. Those who lobby for equal rights would be wise to learn Rustin’s lesson quickly now so that they don’t have to learn it slowly and painfully later.

It’s difficult to evaluate how 9/11 changed me because it came at a time when I was politically dizzy.

I maintain that he does hold Rock Star status. The cheers and applause that he receives transcend those of contemporary politicians. At least for myself, last night’s stub will join the ranks of Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews in my used ticket envelope.
