Two quick leftovers that didn’t make it into today’s opus (cheers to you, word-count-less internet) on the Martha Coakley/Scott Brown wrestling match.
First, there’s been much made of the cursed offices from which Coakley is attempting to leap. And the current AG certainly seems to have taken some campaigning tips (act indifferent, bash Bush, dismiss your [...]

Here is a video in which Boston’s favorite former Herald business editor shrugs off the whole “Sexxxy haircuts too sexxxy for Mansfield?” controversy.
Cosmo has read the morning’s Herald. He has seen the photos of the devilish she-barbers in question. And his conclusion? He’s seen cuter women at Supercuts.
The Hazards of Hanging with Barney Frank
September 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
Mike Capuano learned today that hanging with Barney Frank can be a dangerous thing.
Halfway through the presser formally announcing Capuano’s candidacy for Senate, somebody asked him about the doomed candidacy of Celts co-owner Steve Pagliuca. He didn’t get much of a chance to answer. Frank stepped in, took the mike, delivered the afternoon’s best line [...]

NYT: Cronkite Mangler Will Get Her Babysitter Back
August 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Media
Haha, do the great unwashed media-loathing masses have something to crow about now: The New York Times’s public editor, Clark Hoyt, took a particularly brutish swing yesterday at the paper’s hapless television critic, Alessandra Stanley.
Hoyt calls Stanley’s appraisal of Walter Cronkite’s journalistic career “particularly embarrassing,” mostly because it was littered with seven (!!!!!!!) factual errors. [...]

If the newswires can be believed, Deval Patrick was in a fine mood today. He called Tim Cahill’s criticism of Beacon Hill’s majority party a “canard,” and said he’d welcome a reelection fight, chirping, “He should bring his A game.” But Patrick’s best line came when he was asked his feelings on Cahill’s sudden defection [...]
Mitt Romney Unveils Geriatric-Looking Portrait of Mitt Romney
July 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
Mitt Romney (who has not recently been to Argentina, and thus is having himself a pretty good month) breezed into the State House last night to unveil a portrait of what appears to be an old-ass version of himself. Haha, at least they got the hair right.
Romney’s gubernatorial portrait boasts two props, and [...]

Whoa. The Globe is the Times Co.’s whore - and a cheap, dirty one at that. So says former Globie Eileen McNamara. In today’s Herald, no less.
Filthy Capitalists Whack Globe
April 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Media
Yesterday’s teary self-written obit has gotten the attention of this nation’s productive class: Today’s Journal provides a summation of the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments that wracked Boston this weekend.
There’s no real news here. In fact, the Journal backtracks a bit, citing that widely discredited $20 million Barclay’s valuation.
But what the article lacks in, [...]
