President-Elect Joe Biden has tabbed Louisburg Square's own John Kerry for a new post: Special presidential envoy for climate.

Kerry, you may recall, has some experience in Washington.

John Kerry crossing the street

John Kerry is paying a little visit to the Hub. Last night, he had dinner at Davio's - while his SUVs and police escort waited outside. This morning, Dasha Rojkova spotted him ambling about the Back Bay, again accompanied by a heavy security detail.

British foreign secretary gets motorcade through Boston

You get to do lots of travel and you never have to worry about getting caught in traffic. The Right Honourable Philip Hammond, Her Majesty's foreign secretary, popped into town today to take a look at the windmill blade testing facility in Charlestown, as one does.

As Ian shows us, he got an escort by staties and BPD to speed him to and from Charlestown.

And no, not at the hands of Tim Thomas. The Herald reports the black eyes he sported at the White House Bruins festivities were related to the broken nose he got during a hockey match. Yes, in which he played.

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.

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.

Steve Garfield informs us that the "Massachusetts" page on John Kerry's official Senate Web site notes our official state fish is the cod, but actually shows a photo of a salmon.

Use of "haddock," "sole," "harbor," "clam," "scale," "finny" and "crab" in puns related to this news is left as an exercise to the reader.

I can only shake my head when I see those white posters with the iconic red crosses at the campus where I work.

Give blood? Sure.

Except that my blood is not the right kind of blood. My donation, after completing the form in which I am asked point-blank about my sex life, will be summarily thrown away–despite the fact that this blood could save another life.

The Boston Fire Department reports workers at John Kerry's 1 Bowdoin Square office were evacuated around noon. Workers were allowed back in an hour later after a hazmat crew determined the package was stable enough to be transported to a state lab. The Herald reports the package may contain cooking oil.

The Los Angeles Times reports on a health-care "reform" pushed by John Kerry (and, to be fair, by the late Ted Kennedy) that would require insurers to pay for Christian Science counseling sessions as a health-care expense.

Via Deb Geisler, who requests our new senior senator read up on the First Amendment's separation clause.

Our Temporary Senator said yesterday his naming means he can now work on 800 outstanding requests from Massachusetts residents. Jay Fitzgerald wonders:

Do you think John Kerry could help out responding to those 800 constituent inquiries? Never mind.

He posts some other questions about the Kirk naming.

Gloves

Rknrll photographed the scene outside Sen. Kerry's health-care session tonight. Not sure why the woman dressed up in boxing gloves.

Bowes3 provided a blow-by-blow from inside the session.

Stephen Lynch seems to think so. Of course, his ascension to the house of solons would require John Kerry to be appointed Secretary of State or something. But he's got $1-million+ burning a hole in his bank account and running in a special election would mean he gets to stay in the House when he loses, so why not?

On the Republican side, "party leaders and consultants" are actually chatting up Bill Weld. Bill Weld? When did they repeal the residency requirement for running for statewide office?
