No, the slaughter of Muslim women and children didn't make page one -- or the paper -- today.

That will give you an idea of
who is pushing the agenda down at the Boston Globe.

The front-page feature:
Pain in check, gold in hand

Pfffft!

The front-page lead:

"DA rips gap in Bishop report

The Norfolk district attorney ramped up his criticism of the 1986 investigation of Seth Bishop’s death yesterday, saying that it was “glaring’’ and “striking’’ that local police accounts of Amy Bishop’s armed standoff at a local business were not included in the State Police report or considered as part of the prosecutor’s decision about whether to pursue charges....

So what connections did the nutcase have, readers?

Although Braintree police had documented in great detail how Bishop had pointed a 12-gauge shotgun at two employees at a local auto body shop and demanded a getaway car, there is no indication in the final State Police report that they shared this information with the troopers who worked out of the district attorney’s office and were assigned to the case."

Yeah, that's the Massachusetts State Police.

Who cares?

Professors say tenure fights create high-stress situations

If it were some crazed kid waving the gun around and blowing people away would they get the same empathy from the MSM?

And you have to love this piece of agenda-driving division, folks:

"Role adjustments; Couples adapt as women become bigger breadwinners" by Taryn Plumb, Globe Correspondent | February 18, 2010

While much of the focus in the breadwinning shift has been on how men and women will handle their changing household roles and duties, there is another, less discussed, impact of the breadwinning wives movement.

And YOU KNOW who is RUNNING THEM, ladies. Sorry.

The recession has hammered male-dominated industries particularly hard, but health care and education, typically female-dominated professions, have actually added jobs the last few years.

All PART of the PLAN to DESTROY the American family unit -- if true! This "added jobs" part is such a crock of s***!!!

Because those are generally not high-paying jobs, median family income has declined - it dropped 3.6 percent in the first year of the recession.....

So while war looters and banksters made away with billions and the MSM told you how great the job market and women' empowerment was FAMILIES LOST OUT on the $$$!!!!

Yeah, but RATHER than FOCUS on that, the divisive, agenda-pushing Glob is going to DRIVE the wedge with INSULTS!!!

It’s no revelation that women have smashed the stereotypes embodied by Harriet Nelson and June Cleaver. New research is showing that women are not only contributing more to the household bottom line - they are increasingly the larger, sometimes even the sole, breadwinner.

And THAT'S GREAT, isn't it? That's the WHOLE TONE of the PIECE!!

And for the first time in US history, women are about to outnumber men in the workforce - and, according to some projections, within two decades women will outnumber men as the home’s major breadwinner.

Should we just give them our balls now, or... ?

Just as women entering the workforce required a big adjustment in the attitudes that for generations defined marriages, another big adjustment is needed now with wives earning more on average than their husbands. If it was dying before, the idea of families having a “traditional breadwinner’’ seems officially dead.

Translation: The American family -- the strength of American society -- has been DESTROYED!

Game over, America!

No wonder you can not come together over anything.

“Her being the breadwinner doesn’t bother me one bit,’’ said 33-year-old Robert “Mick’’ Mickelwait, a mechanic and husband of Theresa Mickelwait, 34, who works in a government job while he stays at home with 21-month-old daughter Amalie. “Compared to her, I have it pretty easy. I think I got the better end of the deal,’’ he says.

Pffft!

Of course, their family dynamic has brought on some interesting reactions: lectures from traditional women admonishing her for being a bad mother by letting her husband take on the caregiver role; or conversely, friends who give her the “you go, girl’’ brand of female empowerment.

Yeah, PLAY to the DIVISIVE EXTREMES when it suits the agenda, MSM!

What a**holes!

And he does get uncomfortable sometimes, he said, but not because it’s a macho thing. He just wishes he could help more financially....

Sell a testicle or two. I'm sure Israel needs those, too.

32-year-old Avi Spivack’s wife, Nataly Kogan, 34, has been doing just that, working in venture capital in New York City until the family moved here two years ago....

She didn't take the *ews name, huh?

And ever notice all the agenda-pushing Globe's sources come from the same places?

While she was the major breadwinner she also took on the majority of the housework....

Are you sure it is those Muslim women in the burqas being oppressed, American females? I mean, other than the bombs and missiles we are laying on them?

Even so, in their eight years together, she and her husband have struck a balance....

Part of it, Kogan acknowledged, is her ambitious nature and reluctance to give up control over household duties....

Her *ew husband even has her guilt-tripping over the oppression! How classic!

And it may only get tougher for families. Since December 2007, the United States has lost 7 million jobs - 72 percent of which were held by men in male-dominated industries such as construction and manufacturing.

Why the LIE, Glob?

"8.4 million jobs vanished"

Yup, but the Boston Globe is telling you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, right.

Beverly Flaxington, a 49-year-old mother of three from Walpole, pulls in about 80 percent of her family’s income through her consulting work - and it’s been that way for nearly a decade, since her husband got laid off in 2001. With the economy the way it is, he simply hasn’t been able to recover, and he now chips in when he can with part-time consulting of his own.

"Consulting" Over what?

And that guy hasn't dug out in NINE YEARS?

Then YOU are F***ed, AmeriKa!!!

So am I.

Despite their earnings discrepancy, there’s no inequality with the bills. Most finances are split down the middle, paid for out of both their paychecks, with the occasional dip into her husband’s savings, Flaxington said.

So HE is getting the dildo, huh?

And what her husband lacks in bringing home the bacon, he makes up for in family duties: He does all the cooking, most of the cleaning, runs errands, and handles the usual “nighttime rituals’’ with the kids, his wife said....

Oh, he's Mr. Mom.

Still, there is one enormous financial strain she shoulders alone: Health insurance.

And if we had a decent single-payer health system like so many other nations it wouldn't be a problem.

Because she is self-employed, she pays for insurance out of pocket - and that includes footing a $1,500 penalty under the new Massachusetts guidelines because she uses a non-state-approved provider. (The alternative, a state plan, would be more expensive, she said, even after you tally up the penalty, the co-payments, and the premiums.)

See The Massachusetts Model: Tax-Exempt Memory Hole and related links, readers.

Sure you want that model as a national plan. America?

Such financial stresses are a common burden, but they are newer to women who suddenly find themselves their family’s chief provider.

Hey, you are WELCOME to the ULCER-CAUSING WORRY and GRIEF, ladies!!

Think of it as part of the "liberation."

“What I make on paper looks impressive,’’ said Theresa Mickelwait. Even so, “we literally live paycheck to paycheck.’’

It’s a tight game week-to-week; the Malden family rents in a two-family home, ditched a land line in favor of less expensive cellphones, and hardly ever splurges on outings or new clothes. Still....

Pffft!

But....

Double pffffffffftt!!!
