FINGER IN THE WIND. John Kerry may or may not be gearing up for a second presidential bid, but one group of Massachusetts locals is betting against his staying power. Venerable Cambridge burger joint Mr. Bartley’s Burger Coottage — which has featured an overwhelming array of burgers named after a changing cast of local and national luminaries since the early 1970s– is retiring the John Kerry burger for 2007.
