Off and running, Belmont's US Rep visits friendly constituents early Sunday morning.
In parts of speech, an interjection is a word solely designed to convey emotion. Think of "Oh no," or "gosh" at the beginning of a sentence. Some speakers will place the interjection at the end, as a way to seek agreement. Take US Rep. Ed Markey, for instance, who spoke before a room filled with supporters who came out early on Sunday morning, Feb. 24, to Patou Thai Restaurant in Belmont Center.

US Rep. Edward Markey says he will run for Sen. Kerry's seat if he is appointed Secretary of State.
The Associated Press and the Boston Herald are reporting that Belmont's US Representative Edward Markey, D-Malden, says he will run for US Sen. John Kerry's seat, if Kerry is appointed Secretary of State. Markey, who has been a U.S. Representative since 1976, has a regional office in downtown Malden. Markey, the dean of the state's congressional delegation, issued a statement Thursday saying he's decided to run for Kerry's seat. The Malden Democrat, reported the Boston Herald, said the events of recent weeks, from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy and the shooting tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary to the fiscal cliff debate, have made it clear Massachusetts needs a senator with what he called the "right priorities and values."
