The United States has a lot to be afraid of: the war in Iraq, the mortgage crisis, wildfires, the gulf between the haves and have nots, and Dick Cheney. But former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney thinks that the nation should really be afraid of Hillary Clinton. In an attempt to celebrate Halloween and trash an opponent at the same time, Mitt Romney told an audience in Iowa, "What do you think about Hillary's House of...
With all that went down this week, we thought we thought we'd cheer everyone up by giving everyone a double dose of dogs. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions this week at DCist. Like the rest of country, we were floored by the news of so many dead coming out of Virginia Tech, and with so many of the victims and their relatives from the D.C. area, we felt it important to pay...
The 2008 presidential candidate field had its first casualty this week. Tom Vilsack bowed out of the race citing a lack of funds to keep competitive in a field of contenders with growing coffers.

Because, seriously, it doesn't matter. File tomorrow. File Thursday. The IRS just doesn't care that much (really - we've filed late before we have a friend who filed late before, and nothing bad happened). But make sure to pay your taxes eventually, or you could face fines and criminal penalties, and, worse still, you won't be able to run for Lieutenant Governor.
OK, not really. In another one of those completely unsurprising developments that Bostonist feels obliged to mention, Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey has officially announced what everyone already knew: She will be running for Governor.
on-a-losing-ticket sort of way." Then someone in the hardworking Reilly campaign juggernaut must have said, "Hey, what if Boston voters and minority voters really do turn out in droves for the primary? Maybe people who are already fed up with having a conservative, out-of-town, rich white guy as their governor won't cotton to an all-white, moderate ticket with a rich guy and a guy from Springfield."
