Is Patrick losing the netroots?
By Adam Reilly

Quick--guess the source of the following blog commentary:
Post #1: It really makes me physically nauseous to read stuff like this:
Her title was chief of staff, but she had no staff and reported to no one. That did not prevent Carol Aloisi from collecting a $60,000 State House salary for six months, until a state representative found her--literally--sitting in his new office and put her to work.

Obama on signing statements: much ado about nothing?
By Adam Reilly

Over at Blue Mass. Group, blogger/attorney David Kravitz makes a pretty compelling case that Barack Obama's "rein[ing] in" of signing statements (to paraphrase today's front-page Globe headline) isn't much of a change at all.
Writes Kravitz:
[T]he memorandum basically preserves the position that if the president believes that a part of a bill is unconstitutional, he can refuse to abide by it, even as he signs it into law.
