Boston Bikers Rejoice: We Don’t Ride in New York!
In all my years of riding bikes, I have never once been body-checked to the ground by a police officer. For this, I am thankful, not only because of the resultant dearth of injuries, but also because it shows a level of respect toward bikers from the Boston police force that, unfortunately, is not true […]
Pop Quiz: Who’s Driving the Sox Offense?
Pop quiz: which Red Sox player has the highest batting average so far this season? Is it V-Mart? Pedroia? Another one of the usual suspects? Believe it or not, it’s Jason Varitek. Yes, the veteran catcher—who, you may remember, lost his starting job mid-season last year when the Sox brought in hard-hitting Victor Martinez in […]
Poor Pitching Sinking Sox
For all the talk about the struggling Red Sox offense, you’d think that was the reason why the restructured team is off to such a miserable start this season. Actually, though, it’s Boston’s starting pitchers who have the team off to a subpar 7-10 start. Boston pitchers have a cumulative ERA of 4.53 on the […]
Naked Girls To Read Lewis Carroll’s Books at Coolidge Corner Theatre
Finally, someone has gone and combined two of my absolute favorite things in the world: reading and nude women. Though it may sound like pure fantasy, it is, in fact, a reality. Like peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and chocolate, or peanut butter and just about any other consumable it can be paired with, […]
Non-Volcanic Smoke Clouds Keep Planes Grounded at Logan on 4/20
Dense, rolling smoke again grounded flights into and out of Logan International Airport on April 20th—the unofficial stoner holiday—as visibility plummeted beneath the unexpected haze In a bizarre twist, officials from the Federal Aviation Administration said the new onslaught of heavy smoke was not further fallout from last week’s eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, the Icelandic volcano […]
GOP Gubernatorial Hopeful Baker Tries to Slam Door on Mihos’ Campaign
Seeking to avoid a potentially distracting and divisive primary contest, Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker is trying to lure enough delegates at today’s GOP convention to his campaign to end Christy Mihos’ bid for the party nomination. Candidates must receive at least 15 percent of the delegate vote to appear on the primary ballot this […]
Sarah Palin Teabags Boston
When I first moved to Boston to attend college a few years back, I was proud to think my home was a liberal utopia of social equality, political correctness, and self righteous snobbery. I was 18, and at the time found all that political homogeny welcoming; now I find it oppressive. I’ve since soured on […]
Welcome Back, Jason Varitek
The most important part of the Red Sox just-concluded three game set in Kansas City is the 2-1 series victory Boston pulled out. With the two wins, Boston is back to a .500 record overall on the young season. The two wins also snapped a three game losing streak Boston had been carrying since they […]
Governor Deval Patrick Formally Launches Reelection Bid
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick formally kicked off his reelection campaign today, beginning what promises to be a hard-fought battle to retain his post as the state’s top official. Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray are crisscrossing the state all weekend, meeting with supporters and Democratic officials to rally support for the beleaguered administration. The agenda […]
Big Papi Gets the Squeeze: Calls Already Mounting For Slugger’s Ouster
Baseball, more than any other sport, perhaps more than any other profession besides politics, is constantly beleaguered by the question, “What have you done for me lately?” In a game where statistics are sacred, where every piece of data is scrutinized, analyzed, and categorized, a player’s poor performance cannot go unnoticed. So when high profile, […]
