Be there or be square!

Up in the governor's office, we'll have people pissed about Mitt Romney's push to have state police crack down on illegal immigrants delivering a letter to the Barnstormin' Mormon himself.

Down on the front steps of the State House, meanwhile, it'll be LG/would-be G Kerry Healey holding a press conference "with concerned parents" to decry the Legislature's eminently sensible proposal to decriminalize needle possession. There's no data suggesting that making syringes legal leads to more needles sticks, but my money says that won't keep Healey & Co. from playing the fear card.

Personally, I can't wait.
