In March of 2004, I
started the blog, mAss Backwards (name changed to No Looking Backwards, as soon
as I moved out of Massachusetts in December 2006), in which I wrote of
politics and current events from the perspective of a libertarian-leaning
conservative living “behind the wire” in the City of Boston. While I began that
project as a way to vent my frustration at local politicians and their
penchant for taxpayer-funded ineptitude, I quickly developed a sizable
audience and kept writing for more than six years – a lifetime in blog years.
In that time, my material has been featured on such websites as Instapundit,
Michelle Malkin, the Boston Globe, and The Corner at National Review
Online. I have also been a guest on NRA News radio and WTKK talk radio in
Boston. In 2006, I took home the
Weblog
Award in the “Best of the Top 2501 - 3500 Blogs” category. Now, lest anyone be led
to believe I was running some kind of right-wing extremist website, a good
friend of mine, David S. Bernstein of the left-leaning Boston Phoenix
once described my blog as “smart, funny, highly readable, and original.” And David
Kravitz, founder of the liberal Bay State blog, Blue Mass Group, had
this to say: “by far the
class act of MA-focused conservative/libertarian/call it what you will
blogging. He's also the funniest blogger in the state of whatever political
stripe.” * When I made the decision
to run for office, I decided at that time to leave my blog intact for anyone
who wants to read through my archives and learn more about my perspective on
life and politics. Feel free to poke around. Though, be warned, my writing
has been described at times as somewhat coarse. But, on the other hand, it’s
nothing that wouldn’t get Joe “This a f***ing big deal.” Biden’s seal of
approval. Long-time readers need
not mourn my absence from the world of on-line political commentary. I will
continue to offer my insight and opinions on the issues and news stories of
the day on my Facebook page. Become a fan today, and become part of the
conversation. All are welcome. Also, I finally cracked and opened a Twitter
account (username: Bruce_MacMahon). Unlike many who seek
(and/or hold) public office, I have no secrets to hide, when it comes to
political principles and ideology. I’m more than happy to leave the
ambiguous, feel-good catch phrases and platitudes to others. Whether I’m
discussing Red Sox baseball, local microbreweries, bad 80’s music, or other
equally serious topics of the day, you’re going to know where I stand. I want
the voters of Brentwood to make as informed a choice as they possibly can
come November. ~ Bruce * No endorsement of my current candidacy for New Hampshire State Representative by either of these individuals, or the entities represented thereby, implied or expressed. |
