ANOTHER MASSACHUSETTS READER REPORT – AT 11:07 P.M. ET:  Reader Gordon Bennett files this from Brookline, Massachusetts.  Brookline is filled with people who, in 1776, would have tried to research and understand the root cause of British frustration:

Drove through Coolidge Corner in the heart of Brookline this afternoon (the Brookline of Dukakis, Kennedy, and 80%+ margins for Obama-Biden in 2008) and instead of the usual gaggle of peaceniks waving multicolored rainbow signs, two Brown supporters occupied the high ground in an apparently uncontested fight and planted his flag. As Obama frequently says, "unprecedented."

Goody.
