Yesterday’s Inside Track featured a roundup of Big Names To Watch in 2010. They included such not-watched-in-2009 names as, uh, Theo Epstein and Gisele and Ben Affleck. The year is sure to be unlike we have ever seen before.
Just one question: How did Mahmoud Ahmadinejad get left off the list???

Walking out of South Station today, I found myself next to this grinning slimeball, who’d made it his mission to place a phone call as loudly as humanly possible. And, success!
“Hey buddy!” he screeched into his phone. “I love the smell of commerce in the morning! Don’t you!!?!?”
Um, no.
And just to clear up any confusion: [...]
The Real Dummies…

…are the ones that think that bank tellers sitting at a window make the calls on foreclosure evictions.
