16. I do. I rented a house 2 doors away from his official home in Malden

I didn't realize it for a while, but I was puzzled at all the men in fancy dark suits who drove up in fancy dark sedans to the house in what is otherwise a serious blue collar area.

Then I leaned it was Rep. Markey's home where he grew up in and keeps as his official home.

He was a good neighbor.

17. Count Me In...

not only has he worked hard to bring these criminals to justice but he rebuked Barton of Texas for his "apology" for the government shakedown of BP. I wonder how much Barton was paid to prostitute himself in the name of BP.
