From Washington Post:

Newton Mayor Setti Warren (D) launched his campaign against Scott Brown today in a five-minute online video that attempts to take a strategic page from the popular Massachusetts Republican senator’s playbook.

Brown joins City Year co-founder Alan Khazei as the current top tier in the race with former lieutenant governor candidate Bob Massie also running.

On paper, Warren is an impressive — if little known — candidate. He’s an Iraq veteran with close ties to Gov. Deval Patrick and Sen. John Kerry for whom he served as deputy state director. Warren is also the first popularly elected African-American mayor in the state.

  • 2. Song title: “The Light” – CommonAlbum: Go! Common ClassicsLyric: “I never call you my bitch or even my boo/There’s so much in a name and so much more in you/Few understand the union of woman and man/And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land/But that’s fly by night for you and the sky I write/For in these cold Chi night’s moon, you my light/If heaven had a height, you would be that tall/Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all/”Ok, so I’m kinda cheating because this song came out a while back. But it was re-released this year as part of a Common Classics album, so how could I resist throwing dap to one of the most beautiful hip-hop love songs ever written?
