So how many goals (number of articles I'm posting) does the Globe think the Brazilians will score today?
"Priest surrenders in sex abuse case
SAO PAULO — A Polish priest accused of sexually abusing a former altar boy in Rio de Janeiro and turning his parish home into an “erotic dungeon’’ has surrendered and is now in police custody, a public safety official said yesterday. State prosecutors have accused Marcin Michael Strachanowski of handcuffing the 16-year-old former altar boy to a bed three years ago in the parish house where the priest lived and threatening to kill the youth if he spoke of the abuse.

That's one.
And the perversions do not stop there:
"Gay couple get a boost in winning bid to reunite; Kerry helps Brazilian return to Haverhill" by Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | June 4, 2010
Tim Coco and Genesio Oliveira married in 2005, among the throngs who wed after same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts. But for nearly three years, they lived apart — Coco in Haverhill and Oliveira in his native Brazil — because federal law does not recognize their union.
On Wednesday, Oliveira returned to Massachusetts for an emotional reunion after federal immigration officials took the rare step of granting him permission to stay for one year on humanitarian grounds, clearing the way for him to try again for legal residency. His return followed personal appeals by Senator John F. Kerry, US Attorney General Eric Holder, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on their behalf....

He is 50 and the other guy is 30?
That may be gross, but it shows you the power of the Gay Lobby.
No wonder the politicians are moving heaven and earth on this issue
Kerry called the couple heroes for persevering in their marriage.
PFFFFT!!
And here is something to think about:
If it is an OLDER WOMAN and a YOUNGER MAN, she is a COUGAR!!!
If it is an OLDER MAN and a YOUNGER WOMAN, he is a SCUM.
BUT if it is a HOMOSEXUAL relationship, it's LOVE!!!
Yeah, I am sick of having the gay agenda shoved (choose your own sickening pun here, readers)!!!
“Here were two people who loved each other and were as committed to each other as you could ever imagine, and a quirk in the law was being allowed to keep them apart. I just wanted to do everything I could to reunite them,’’ he said in a statement.
So when are you going to show such concern for Gazans, Johnny?
Kerry also praised Napolitano and Holder, saying, “They really listened, and they righted this wrong.’’ Unlike heterosexuals, gays and lesbians cannot sponsor their immigrant spouses for legal US residency.
They listen to them while ignoring the will of the American people on so many things?
Oh, right, they are not a gay or a special interest group backed by Zionists.
Oliveira was allowed to return because US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which is under the Department of Homeland Security, granted him humanitarian parole. Parole is a rarely used mechanism that permits otherwise inadmissible people to enter the United States for “urgent humanitarian reasons’’ or “significant public benefit,’’ said agency spokesman Chris Bentley....
NONE of which APPLY HERE!
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, criticized the move, saying it seemed unfair to grant a special exception for Oliveira when so many others, such as earthquake survivors in Haiti, are clamoring to get into the country...

Though Brazil recognizes same-sex marriage for immigration purposes, violence against gays persists. More than 100 homosexuals and transvestites were killed last year in Brazil, according to the US Department of State’s human rights report....
If I were to judge Brazilians just by my Boston Globe coverage I would believe they are all sick s***s.
That's two.
What else you got, Globe?
"Brazilians showcase their rise in Boston; To host first ever trade show in US" by Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | June 5, 2010
FRAMINGHAM — Pablo Maia’s first job in the United States was washing dishes in a restaurant.
Illegally?
Almost three decades later, he is an American citizen who presides over one of the biggest Brazilian-owned real estate companies in the United States, from a former Woolworth’s across from town hall.
Maia’s rise is an often overlooked side of immigration that community leaders are eager to showcase this weekend at the first Brazilian trade show in the United States, to be held at the Seaport World Trade Center on Boston’s waterfront.
In selecting the trade center, one of the state’s largest immigrant groups is staking out a spot in the American mainstream, filling exhibition halls that more typically highlight shows for flowers, automobiles, or snowboard vendors. The exposition is a chance to show that Brazilians are highly entrepreneurial — more likely to own a business than the typical state resident — and that they pay taxes and create jobs.
“We want to be part of Massachusetts; we don’t want to be just ‘the Brazilian community’ in the state,’’ said Maia, sitting in an air-conditioned office filled with fliers selling real estate in Massachusetts and in Brazil. “We are making a difference. But if we’re more integrated, we’ll do much better.’’
Called expoBusiness America, the Brazilian trade show was created in 2003 to promote Brazilian immigrant-owned businesses in Japan and to increase trade with companies in Japan. It was also a way to promote exchange between the two cultures.
The American show has similar goals, which is one reason it is free and open to the public Saturday and Sunday. More than 50 businesses will set up booths publicizing their work. Business owners can network with other companies and attend workshops on ways to expand beyond their ethnic enclaves.
The trade show is taking place at a sensitive time for immigrants in Massachusetts and nationwide. Crackdowns on illegal immigration are dominating the public debate: Arizona recently passed the most restrictive state immigration law in the country, requiring police to question people they suspect are there illegally.
And WHO decides what the public debate is, MSM?
And last week, the Massachusetts Senate endorsed a slate of amendments to the state budget that bar access to government benefits for illegal immigrants.
Organizers of the exposition, which was in the works before the immigration debate exploded during an election year, say they offer a fuller portrait of Brazilian immigrants in Massachusetts. Immigrants are college students and scientists, as well as housecleaners and painters. They serve on city and town boards, pay tuition at state and private colleges, and own multimillion-dollar operations such as a Sudbury granite company.
Both the economy and legal immigration status are issues that loom large for Brazilians.
An estimated 336,000 Brazilians live in Massachusetts, part of 1.4 million nationwide, said Alvaro Lima, a Boston researcher who is also one of the exposition organizers. Nationally, he said, Brazilians create tens of thousands of jobs and contribute $58 billion to the economy. They pay about $7.5 billion in federal and state taxes, including more than $295 million in Massachusetts.
Not like he has an interest in promoting those numbers.
“This is a side that people don’t want to see, how many jobs are created by these companies, the taxes they pay,’’ said Lima, who said he is coordinating the show with businessman Sérgio Tinen, an organizer of the trade show in Japan.
“The jobs they create are not just for Brazilians,’’ he said. “They are for Americans, too.’’
Well, WHERE ARE THEY because WE'VE LOST MILLIONS of them and they are NOT COMING BACK!

Is that the kind of job he was referring?
Although many Brazilians are US citizens or legal residents, a significant percentage, from 40 percent to 71 percent, are estimated to be here illegally, having overstayed their visas or crossed the southern border.

Ain't exactly what the brochure told you, is it, illegal?
Researchers differ over whether immigrants here illegally add to or subtract from the economy and society. Lima, research director of the Boston Redevelopment Authority, said all immigrants benefit the economy.
By undercutting American wages and helping the rich avoid taxes?
Enrico Marcelli, an associate professor at San Diego State University who authored a study last year on Brazilian immigrants in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, said it remains unclear whether the contributions of immigrants here illegally outweigh what they use in public services such as education and emergency health care....
Well, if we had the good, single-payer health system I wanted it would not be a problem and you wouldn't be dying in prisons.
That's three goals the Globe predicts for Brazil today.
Any more?
"Brazil says man jailed, raped daughter" by Associated Press | June 10, 2010
Back to this crap again.
RIO DE JANEIRO — A man in a remote fishing village in Brazil kept his daughter imprisoned for 12 years, raped her repeatedly, and had seven children with her, police said yesterday. The man is also accused of abusing a young girl he had with his daughter.
I don't want to know anymore.
Police allege that Jose Agostinho Pereira, 54, kept his daughter, now 28, under virtual house arrest in a two-room, thatched-roof hut near a tiny fishing village in northeastern Brazil.
An officer who aided in the arrest said the home was located in such a remote jungle area that the only way to reach it was by using canoes. Authorities said the children appeared to suffer from malnutrition and could barely communicate with others. Most were unclothed.
(Blog editor shaking his head)
The alleged abuse began when Pereira’s wife left him in 1998, said police inspector Jair Lima de Paiva.
Charges have not been filed against him. Under Brazilian law, prosecutors file charges after police have ended their investigation. It was not immediately known if Pereira had a lawyer.
While the exact ages of the children — four girls and three boys — were not known, police believe they range in age from 2 months to 12.
“None of them were allowed to leave the house,’’ said Paiva. “They were all threatened with their lives if they tried to escape.’’
Paiva said police were tipped off about Pereira’s alleged crimes by an anonymous phone call.--more--"
That would be four then.
