I am going to have to ask for your forgiveness once again for missing some of this week's news, but tomorrow is Pennsylvania's primary, and I've been working some pretty long hours to help Sen. Obama get the nomination. As a matter of fact, after reading about the Clintons' Democratic enemies list in the NYT yesterday, the only thing that could keep me from working extra hard for Sen. Obama would be if JK himself were running. If I didn't know better, I would say Bill and Hill seem a little bitter over the loss of their entitlement.

In addition to topping the Clinton hit list, Sen. Kerry is fending off attacks from the do-nothing Senate Republicans, who have the audacity to suggest he's not getting legislation passed, even though they're the ones blocking it. I'm telling you, these people are just getting more bizarre by the day.

But some things are getting done, and Sen. Kerry was busy again last week, working for the people of Massachusetts and the country. I think I caught a good bit of it, like legislation that will help our men and women in uniform keep their homes, and hearings on how to help small business owners get the credit they need to stay afloat in these difficult economic times, he also helped Massachusetts fishermen remove a roadblock that will allow them to expeditiously put a $13.4 million grant to good use.

The Senator spoke at a Boston Chamber of Commerce government affairs forum, heard Mayor Carolyn Kirk's testimony at a Senate Small Business Committee hearing, blogged about net neutrality at Firedog Lake, spoke to a group of Democrats in Hudson, attended an event that promotes physical fitness for young girls, joined other local officials in denouncing predatory lending practices that have caused so many to lose their homes, congratulated the Boston College Eagles hockey team in the Senate, and proposed the Emergency Student Loan Liquidity Market Act to help students get loans.

I see This Moment on Earth is coming out in paperback, which is pretty awesome, although I already have a couple (signed) copies and have handed a few out to friends and family. If you haven't read it, I suggest you pick up a copy and try to track down the Senator to get yours signed. It's a really great book from two wonderful people who have both been long time environmental leaders.

Happy Primary Eve!
