The Phoenix

Today's Quick Takes

--Hey, all you Democratic delegates who have been whining about the food at the Tsongas Arena: at least it wasn't Fenway Park.

--Hard to imagine Obama being in town with this little buzz in the local media, huh?

--My question about the TOUCH-FM controversy (well covered by Brian Ballou today) is and has been: why did the Southern New England Society of Broadcast Engineers drop the dime to the FCC in the first place? Dan K, get me an answer!

--Honestly, everybody in this town, upon seeing the Deval Patrick 20-accomplishments list, immediately thought: "Jon Keller's going to have a field day with this." Does Jessica Heslam really think he needed anybody, let alone Barney, to plant that thought in his head? C'mon, one reason I didn't bother mocking the list was that I assumed Jon would be whacking that one good.

--OK, I'll say it: she interned at MassEquality, chose Smith College, and Deval didn't know? And I thought he was smart.....

Where's your 'taking questions' Friday post, David? I need an update on the senate races!!! Any movement with any potential candidates? And is Teddy hanging in there alright?-- he's been out of the news since he got back to MA.

Dear Mr. Bernstein,

I haven't seen an article on Ed O'Reilly at the convention yet. Did I miss it? A man who said he was a reporter with the Phoenix, approached a couple of women in Lowell to ask questions about O'Reilly's race. He had to go back to his car but later caught up with my friend and asked her a few questions...

Does this sound familiar and if so will there be an article about it?

Thank you.

Ms. Coakley - are you sure it wasn't just Jim Marzilli trying out a new strategy?
