That little plastic thermometer thingee would be popping up right now.

Christy Mihos bounced a $20,000 campaign check, the Globe reports.

Maybe his campaign song could be Lien on Me.

Via Jay Fitzgerald:

I like Christy Mihos. He's Massachusetts' very own loose cannon, in the most positive sense, keeping establishment pols on their toes, especially when he served on the old Turnpike board. But this isn't good. We all have our own financial problems. But he's running for governor. ...

The Herald reports Mihos is still running for governor and the Globe really should stop listening to anything he says, or words to that effect.

The Outraged Liberal notes the hypocrisy of wealthy Cape-dwelling convenience-store magnate Christy Mihos and his flunky Dick Morris telling wealthy incumbent Deval Patrick to open his own pool to the public:

... [B]y the way Christy -- do you have some nice cool down spot on the Cape thanks to the millions you've made from selling gas and potato chips?

I'll bring the towel. I'm sure you've got some flip-flops.

Josh Ourisman, who supported Mihos in 2006, vows to vote for him for governor in 2010.

Whiteboy gets the scoop:

... Patrick: "Hello?"

Mihos: "Is your refrigerator running?"

Patrick: "Yes, my refrigerator is running."

Mihos: "Well, I'M NOT anymore!" ...

Those Inmates for Healey are real wimps. Doesn't take any prison smahts to stroll around Milton at 7 a.m. OK, tough guys, if you really want to impress us, drive up to Pride's Crossing tomorrow and kidnap Kerry Healey. Get really tough and muss her hair.

Outraged Liberal: Just when you thought the Healey campaign could not hit a new low, they come up with a way to surprise you.
