In a recent press statement, Scott Brown declared that he was upset at a recent lawsuit settlement that requires the state to comply with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (aka "the Motor-Voter Law"). The law requires states to offer voter registration when you apply for government services like a driver's license, but also social services like welfare too. Voting rights groups across the country have taken their states to task recently to force compliance.

The Karma of Dirty Politics
by Jerold Duquette
Should you wish to adjust your schedule for Friday morning, Scott Brown will be ambling about the Square around 10 a.m., going into stores (whose owners have already been asked if that's OK), shaking hands, getting the lay of the land, doing whatever it is senators do when they visit the hustings.

Scott Brown... "He's For Us." ...the unemployed are "them" not "us"
On Saturday, Feb. 25, 2012, protesters gathered outside a Dracut restaurant in response to Republican U.S. Sen Scott Brown's decision to back a Republican bill which would allow employers or insurers to deny health care coverage of procedures or prescriptions based on religious or moral convictions.

A small group of Occupy Boston protesters marched from Dewey Square to Park Plaza Friday evening and held a brief sit-in in the lobby of the office building that houses the Israeli consulate.
The protesters, who chanted against "Israeli apartheid," did not actually get up to the consulate and were ushered out by police after about 15 minutes.
Sen. Brown, however, today denounced this "invasion of the Israeli consulate in Boston:"
It was shocking to hear the protestors chanting anti-Israel slogans in support of the terrorist-backed intifada uprising, which has created so much misery and death in Israel. There should be no mistaking which side America is on in the fight against terror, and I want to make it clear that I stand with Israel.
OK, so Dems get predictably outraged about Scott Brown's public desire to not see Elizabeth Warren naked, but Republicans might want to find a better way to respond than praising Brown's decision to pose nude for a sex-advice rag as an example of an agonizing decision he courageously made.
Wicked Local Newton posts a statement, basically that Brown and Setti Warren shook hands several minutes before the clip WBZ aired.
Possibly of more lasting import, Brown said he would vote against a Republican Medicare plan.
So Scott Brown didn't actually see a photo of a dead Bin Laden. What else didn't he see?
In response to this:
The Brown camp has rushed out its own video showing how much little kids love Scott Brown:
Both of our senators have pages on their official Web sites listing all the other members of the Massachusetts delegation in Washington. Christopher Snyder noticed a difference, though, between the two pages. See if you can figure out which photos come from John Kerry's site and which from Scott Brown's.
The National Journal reports on what he'll say in his new book and in a 60 Minutes interview this Sunday.
But he's not a Bostonian - he's from Wrentham (and for those who think I'm just a commie pinko hippie, well, yeah, OK, maybe I am, but I kvetched when the Globe named Deval Patrick "Bostonian" of the year, too).
The Outraged Liberal considers the plight of Scott Brown, who's managed to get the right wing upset at him.
Siobhan Magnus, who was the sixth place finalist on the ninth season of American Idol, is a local girl from Barnstable. Today she made the trip to Quincy to join Joe Biden, John Kerry, Vicki Kennedy and other prominent Democrats in a rally for Norfolk District Attorney William Keating, who is hoping to take over the seat being vacated by Rep. William Delahunt.
She was terrible.
