As I find myself putting down the red, blue, and black pens before I even make the op-ed pages more and more often I have begun to only scan the stories of the second section of my morning Globe -- and have often found them wanting.
The point was demonstrated no more vividly than yesterday when I found no mention of these two items in my Boston Globe:
"Gov. Deval Patrick said he would support a sales-tax holiday this summer if the state could afford it. The Democrat made the statement yesterday, despite offering a budget with service cuts triggered by falling tax collections.
Now WAIT a MINUTE! We have been TOLD we have had THREE QUARTERS of GROWTH so HOW COULD TAX REVENUES be DOWN?
Unless we have been LIED TO YET AGAIN, huh?
--more--"
Oh, Globe.
