Boston: Granted, I might feel different if I were at a star-studded gala tonight, but some extremely loud fireworks just went off (it's after midnight) which must have awakened large populations of Bostonians who are already ticked off at the inconveniences caused by the Democratic Convention here. I can't help but thing this is not good PR.

Not only that, but a good fireworks display probably costs $100,000. (which is where that $50 I sent John Kerry probably went). Why not spend the money giving out free bagels on the commuter trains and appologizing for the inconvinience? It's a sure way to win some votes! Would that be legal?
