One-time video-game magnate Curt Schilling yesterday signaled his intent to not run for Senate next year in favor of V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai:
As of today, from where I sit, you're my choice for Senator of the state of Mass. in 2018 and it's not even close.
He closed his tweet with the secret mating call of Massachusetts right wingers: #Fauxcahauntas.
So 2004 and apparently still current Idiot Curt Schilling this evening tweeted a photo of a guy at a Trump rally wearing a shirt reading "Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some Assembly Required," with an approving "OK, so much awesome here," then spent a few carefree hours telling people who complained to grow a pair and learn to appreciate a joke, then deleted the tweet.
Curt Schilling: Jews so stupid, amirite? No, really, why are they so dumb? he asks.
Now that he no longer has to worry about running a company down in Rhode Island, Schilling tells his fans:
I am going to run, soon. ... State office first, white house in 8 years. :-). Or 4 if by some amazing illegal event this country elects another clinton.
Deletes tweet about Muslims being Nazis, but not until lots of people noticed.
Mayor Walsh today vowed to ban the sale of chewing tobacco - and other tobacco products at professional and amateur sports venues in Boston.

The Times digs into 38 Studios:
"It seemed like the digital economy, or biotech, or whatever. But then it turned out that it wasn't the new digital economy. It was some 13-year-old's medieval fantasy."
Meet Curt Schilling, who yesterday asked Rhode Island to pony up some cash for his game company, because the loan guarantees they gave him weren't enough to keep the company from defaulting on a loan payment.
Massachusetts has failed solar companies and Rhode Island might soon have Curt Schilling. The Providence Journal reports Gov. Lincoln Chafee spent his weekend trying to figure out how to keep Schilling's game company "solvent," because otherwise the state might be out the $75 million it loaned it to get it to move from its original home in Maynard.
Mass. High Tech reports the pitcher turned online game tycoon is looking to move his company from Maynard to Rhode Island.
But is he gearing up for elective office or a baseball comeback? Via Fenway West.
Martha Coakley apparently didn't learn from John Kerry what not to say. The one saving grace: At least she's doesn't go around cursing out high-school kids.
CNN reports. Schilling has yet to say if he's running.

Curt Schilling posts his platform, which is a lot more nuanced than you might think (look at the section on the Second Amendment or on his support for pro-choice Charlie Baker).
Also includes this statement:
I live in a state where I can't drive 1/2 of a mile without a torn up road, or on a major highway without paying a toll, a large toll.
Kind of interesting that Schilling's never driven on 128 or 93 or 95 or 3 or 495.
