Last week, Massachusetts held its special senate election primary to fill John Kerry’s vacated seat. Unlike most of you registered voters out there, (a certain member of the MPI staff included), I actually voted. And, as usual, the person I voted for did not win. Around the same time, Great [...]

This just in: Zach Braff defends his Kickstarter campaign. For those of you not in-the-know, Mr. Braff, that boy-next-door prince of make-you-feel-uncomfortable comedy, wants to make a new movie. And, despite finding traditional financial backing, has looked to crowd-funding via Kickstarter. For those of you really not in the know, [...]

This past weekend, like many others in the Boston area, I took the time to make my way to Copley Square to pay respect to those lost in the Boston marathon terror attack. The memorial site, though crowded, remained an emotional tribute to those whose lives were taken by the [...]

I live less than a mile from where Bomber Number Two- who I refuse to honor with any more of a name than “Flash Bang” (c/o the Howie Carr Show)- was eventually found bleeding out in a boat. Last Friday, I was on my way out for an early morning [...]

It’s been a full year since Occupy Wall Street was evicted from their seized stomping ground at Zucotti Park, and about a year since anyone has bothered to care about them. There is, however, still a hopeful few that cling to the idea that they actually have any viable solutions in the [...]
Today, representatives from the video game industry met with Joe Biden to discuss reducing gun violence in America. However, the fact that Biden has even brought up the cultural implications of video games in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre has the industry divided. Many of my peers believe [...]

At the time of this writing, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects lies dead and the other is the subject of a massive manhunt. Overnight, the two men shot and killed an MIT security officer, car-jacked a civilian, and threw explosives at police. For those of us in Massachusetts, [...]
The title alone is an indication of the propaganda, twisting of reality, and morally charged regurgitated political discourse that is about to ensue. The fact that Gabby Giffords is used—in her op-ed A Senate in the Gun Lobby’s Grip—by the Democratic party not only to advance false notions about the [...]
Growing up on the Marathon route, Patriot’s Day was always my favorite holiday. My family would wake up at the crack of dawn to drive out to the Old North Bridge to see the reenactment of the Battle of Concord and Lexington, perhaps spotting Paul Revere’s ride on the way. [...]

Fiscal conservatism, in reality, is not [...]
I’ve been digging through some old books I recently inherited, trying to make sense of them. My grandfather, you see, was a Communist. I don’t think he was a good one, but I have never really understood the appeal of such a political ideology, and he seemed like a good [...]
