‘I've never seen anything like this in 22 years’: And neither has Hub Blog in 22 years: An honest-to-God interesting city council election. Don’t care where, who or how we get it. Just shake it up. Tom Keane has the scoop.


‘I’ve never seen anything like this in 22 years,’ Part II: It’s a trifecta! Yesterday, it was Joan and Brian. Today it’s Scot. Tomorrow? My money's on Adrian (who's also getting into the city council elections, FYI). If JFK II hasn't won over Morrissey Boulevard yet, then ... I can’t believe Joan got so much doo-doo last year (or was it earlier this year?) for writing her ‘Who’s John Kerry?’ column. People are still asking that damn question. It was valid then. It’s painfully obvious now.


‘I’ve never seen anything like this in 22 years,’ Part III: Shut up! One week of late-night bars isn’t going to destroy the city’s quality of life. ... You knew something like this would happen. Glad to see the city isn’t backing down, for a change. ... Forget about 22 years. Boston has never held a convention like this. Let’s show off the town and give reporters (oops, I mean delegates) something to do after those late-night deadlines (oops, I mean convention activities).


Update to Part II: Mickey Kaus thinks he may have found a 'solid bid' for the 'Why-Is-John-Kerry-So-Loathsome? Mystery Challenge.' (Scroll down a bit after Mickey's California recall info.)  ¶ 6:33 AM
