As an elected official, I guess I am supposed to be able to make some profound statement about what is happening to our country. All I can tell you this has been building for several years.

BOSTON —Organizers promoting a so-called “Free Speech Rally” at a Boston park on Saturday do not have a permit for the event, but that isn’t stopping city officials from preparing.

Northeasterners, keep your mittens, boots and show shovel handy. The Farmers’ Almanac that goes on sale this week predicts a snowy winter from Maryland to Maine with five coastal storms to bring winter misery to the region.
The publication, now in its 200th year, isn’t afraid to go out on a limb with long-term weather forecasts that rely on a formula founder David Young first used in 1818 that utilizes sunspots, tidal action and other factors shunned by modern scientists. | More…
