Ok, maybe the Republicans will still lose this one in Massachusetts. They're hiring temps to get out the vote and someone in DC is trying out the goofiest push poll ever.

Hot naked Cosmo pinup Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for Senate from Massachusetts, is only down nine points in the polls! (According to GOP-friendly Rasmussen.)

Ayla Brown father and former naked person Scott Brown will be your next Senator from the Great State of Massachusetts, assuming hell freezes over!

Sad! Mike Dukakis will not be the interim Senator from Massachusetts. Instead it will probably be announced tomorrow that a 71-year-old dude named Paul Kirk will keep Ted Kennedy's seat warm (for the naked dude).

His name is Scott Brown. He fathered an American Idol contestant, and he hates the Gay Marriage, and right now he is a Massachusetts State Senator. Also he was naked in Cosmo in 1982!

There may be no new Kennedy Idol after all! Joseph Kennedy II, RFK's son, said he won't run for his late Uncle Ted's Senate seat, which means Massachusetts will not have a Kennedy lawmaker for the first time since 1946.

All Westport resident Michael Rodrigues wanted to do was buy tax-free liquor in New Hampshire, as countless thousands do every day. But just because he's a Massachusetts state legislator who approved a tax hike on booze, he's in trouble!

Sigh, Mike Dukakis. Sigh. The Boston Globe has joined the chorus of Democrats demanding that the Duke be appointed to Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.

The Way We Live Now: Sucked of our nectar. How far does this hellacious recession reach? All the way into Nantucket, hallowed home of corporate titans. Jack Welch now supports himself by re-selling home run balls he caught, fact.

Last April, the New York Times Magazine published a piece by Benoit Denizet-Lewis that seemed to be about how lots and lots of young men were getting gay married. 700 men age 29 or younger got hitched in Massachusetts. Trend! Or, as Choire Sicha put it in his excoriation of the story, "what else can the story be when an author points out a small group of people that are united by a common activity?" Now, California offers the gay marriage as well. So surely this trend of so many of the young gay men getting gay married must be rising still! Not according to today's Times!
