"In recent decades, incomes have grown much faster - and tax rates have dropped more - for the wealthiest families"
So the Globe knows all about their elite fat asses getting plumper -- and yet is FOR ALL THE TAX HIKES and INCREASES on YOU so this looting legislator and extortionist executive can shovel tax loot at Hollywood, biotech, job-losing green jobs, and any other well-connected special interest. That's why you aren't getting any posts. Sick of this crap journalism passing as news down at poor Apus.
"Another campaign pledge Obama should not break is.... "
You mean there is one left?
"Immigrant"
Pffft.
Sicko, so fuck you, Globe.
"Antibias law sought for transgender people"
No comment.
"a town that seems to have an insatiable appetite for all things sports"
I can't imagine WHO that FRONT-PAGE LEAD above the fold could be referring to.
"Baseball’s bat and gall"
Hitting for a lower average then the Globe.
"Sox fans at a loss during All-Star break" by Peter Schworm, Globe Staff | July 16, 2009
With the Red Sox on a four-day furlough for the All-Star break, die-hard fans like Chris Phelan, 25, floundered, fumbling about in a futile attempt to pass the time and endure a wrenching withdrawal. For fans who organize their days and much of their thoughts around the team, who feel out of sorts when the Sox are rained out or have an off day, the break has left a ragged faultline in their routines and sports-centered psyches.
The midseason siesta is an annual aggravation for Sox addicts, but this year’s has cut to the quick. A soaked, sputtering start to summer had finally given way to real baseball weather, and it felt like the season was in full swing at last. Worse, the schedule-makers tacked on a day to the team’s respite. Without the Sox and baseball’s familiar comforts as ballast, many fans felt adrift. Sure, the All-Star Game has its charms, but in the most rabid enclaves of Red Sox Nation, some wonder whether it comes at too steep a cost.
This is like, worthy of front-page coverage in the second section? Really?
This is like, BIG NEWS, huh?
“What am I going to do for four days?’’ Mike Janiak, a retired schoolteacher from Salem, asked plaintively. “This is going to hurt.’’
From April to October, the Sox are a reassuring presence for Janiak, 67. He and his wife watch every game on their big-screen TV, bought solely to follow the team’s fortunes in sparkling high-definition. But with no Kevin Youkilis or David Ortiz to occupy their evenings, programming like HGTV or “CSI’’ will be forced onto center stage. The mind, he said, reels.
Can I take a moment to say how EMBARRASSED I AM, world, at the QUAINT NEW ENGLANDAHs you all know and love!
Thank Gawd you CAN'T GET H'RE from TH'RE!
Such preoccupation struck some fans as unhealthy. Anyone who truly struggled to fill their days without their favorite baseball team needed to take a hard look in the mirror, they said.
But the ONE-SIDED, AGENDA-PUSHING ADVERTISER (a.k.a the self-serving Boston Globe) won't dwell on that.
Pink-hatted nonsense, others countered. Whether listening to the game on the front stoop or back porch, watching at sports bars with friends, or falling asleep to the call on the couch, fans blend the games into their lives, not the other way around. At Fenway Park yesterday, scores of fans from near and far toured the old yard. But after the tour, many were unsure what the evening would bring. “We have all these channels, but there’s nothing on,’’ said Michael Toohey, a 53-year-old from Salem, N.H., on vacation with his wife.
There is always ONE SMALL TRUTH in EVERY piece of MSM S***!
--more--"
And more....
"NASCAR coverage was also expanded on the cable channel New England Sports Network, which is owned by New England Sports Ventures, the parent company of the Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group. The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, holds a 17 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures."
Yeah, TELL ME AGAIN about GLOBAL WARMING and the ENVIRONMENT!!
What is SAD is that there are SO MANY SHIT-HEADED SHIT ASSES like that around here -- including my inattentive, insensitive, and asshole friends.
