Phillip Greenspun, a pilot who can't stand Patrick, says that's what he's heard - specifically, an $11-million Lear 45, which is designed for flights of more than 2,000 miles.

By now, everyone's heard that Governor Patrick's daughter is a n out and proud lesbian. Good (or planned?) timing with the Boston Pride festivities this weekend. There's a full article on Towleroad, one of my favorite bloggers out there.

Blue Mass. Group has the details on a proclamation by Patrick in support of a national prayer day organized by a fundamentalist group that specifically excludes Jews, Muslims, Catholics and even many Protestants from leading its prayer events that day (see its coordinator application).

Not to carp, but the governor looks like his mussels are tiring and he's haddock up to there, coddamnit. Definitely seems like he's in need of a good pint of Bass. Scott Wachtler from the Bulletin Newspapers, Inc. reeled in this photo at yesterday's annual fish release at Jamaica Pond.

Earlier:
Deval Patrick is up to something fishy.

Steve Garfield is on the scene with a video camera as Patrick, local kids release fish into Jamaica Pond.

Is he on the way up?

Blue Mass. Group has the video of his speech on paying to repair bridges before they fall down and helping the state economy.

The Outraged Liberal, meanwhile, wonders why the Globe couldn't be bothered to do the same basic thing, for people who actually want to see what he said, rather than reading an analysis of Treasurer Tim opposing the plan:

... The Globe has never made good use of the Web as a supplement for its coverage. Just look up the Expressway at the Herald and its database of public employee salaries and pensions as an example of what a newspaper can do with all this cyberspace territory.

So it's left to Blue Mass Group and other wonk sites on the left and right to fill in the gap -- with basic information and with discussions. Those are clicks that could be going to Morrissey Boulevard's bottom line but aren't. Hey Globe sales force, ever notice the ads on these sites? ...

That's because Joe Keohane does a much better job, explaining why today’s Adrian Walker column is sub-par, even for him:

... [T]oday's column on Deval Patrick’s book deal not only contains the most lazily pedestrian takeaway imaginable (Deval needs to prove he's going to stick around and govern), but comes about a week and a half after BZ's Jon Keller broke the story in the first place, and, I would argue, five days after the rest of the press stopped intensively covering it. ... Why, oh lord, do the good ones always take the buyouts?

The Globe covers the Blue Mass. Group posting by Deval Patrick's chief of staff.

The Globe, of course, doesn't provide a link so people can see the posting for themselves if they don't happen to know the site's URL.

And then there's a slightly jarring note for people who actually read the site.
