It was a rough couple of days.
Senator Kerry spoke at the funeral of Sgt. Shane Duffy, who was buried on Saturday in Taunton, and commented on the loss of NBC's Tim Russert.
Earlier in the week, the Senator sent a letter to the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission regarding unsafe smoke detectors, obtained 13.4 million in aid for Massachusetts fishermen, questioned Condi Rice on the Blackwater contract, introduced a bill to protect small businesses from information security breaches, and another to stop the DoD from using our money for war propaganda, and answered questions at a virtual energy forum,
He also won the Profiles in Compassion Award from the Animal Welfare Institute for his work protecting wales. What the Senator is not doing is riding in l'Etape this year, which is disappointing, but I guess work comes first, and there's always next year, after he and Obama and our even bluer Congress win this November.
There were some notable stories on the internet this week, and although they're not technically news, they stood out. One, on DailyKos, about swiftboating, one that described the reasoning behind a Mass. delegate's vote for the Senator, and a letter in the Herald from Boston's police commissioner (good letter, underwhelming title).
Hope all you dads had a fabulous Fathers' Day.
