Liberal [read: Libertarian] Groups In Somerville?

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

It seems like the Progressive Democrats of Somerville are very strong in Somerville and they seem to be a well organized and efficient group.  However is this the only organized civil/political group in Somerville?  I'm particularly interested in liberal/libertarian groups that may be active in Somerville.

Home insurance brokers?

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

After ten years in my house I'm finally getting around to looking at the insurance we originally got at the suggestions of the mortgagor. Looking at tags, I see that several folks are happy with Arbella, which sounds fine, but can anyone recommend a good insurance broker or agent? In or near Davis, or near my work, which is near the Watertown malls, is preferred.

Hair help?

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

I need some hair help (on a humid day like today, I need it REALLY BAD).

My stylist, who I love and eventually want to go back to, broke both arms over the weekend in a rollerblading accident and is out of commission for an unspecified amount of time. The man can't even eat unassisted right now, so I feel incredibly bad asking for hair recommendations, but I'm starting to be seriously shaggy.

For personal reasons I do not want to go to the salon he works/worked for to any of the other stylists there.

I'd rather the location be in Somerville or Cambridge, and they must be excellent with fine straight hair. I strongly prefer cuts with a razor to cuts with just scissors. Don't care about male, female, gay, straight, trans, so long as they can make my hair look awesome.

Any suggestions? Please? Also thank you.
