Sunday papers used to be thick and fat; see if it looks thick and fat to you. Never mind that the stories they selected for publication are complete rubbish.
I'll read 'em later because I purchased the damn thing; however, let me give you a taste of the insulting fare and filler I arose to this morning.

"Kick-start for team, city; Revolution owners reexamine Somerville as stadium location" by Eric Moskowitz, Globe Staff | July 18, 2010
SOMERVILLE — The owners of the Revolution believe a new stadium here would raise the team’s profile by relocating from Gillette Stadium, the cavernous Foxborough home the team currently shares with the
They aren't going to have those infernal horns blowing all the time, are they?
When Major League Soccer began in 1996, most teams played in football stadiums that put fans far from the action and swallowed up the typical crowds of 10,000 to 20,000.
Over the past decade, a succession of soccer-oriented parks has opened across the league, including two this season that cost more than $100 million and are situated near rail stops in urban settings: the 25,200-seat Red Bull Arena, home to the New York Red Bulls, and the 18,500-seat PPL Park, home to the Philadelphia Union.
While those teams are among the league’s top draws, the Revolution have slumped to 13th among 16 teams in attendance. The team currently averages fewer than 12,000 fans per game. Although the 69,000-seat Gillette Stadium easily sells out for the Patriots, it is a more challenging location, nearly 30 miles from downtown Boston, for a soccer club trying to establish a steady fan base....
Yeah, soccer never took over here because of AmeriKan football.
Michael Meehan, a spokesman for Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, said the stadium, notwithstanding potential traffic and parking concerns, would be “a way for Somerville to show itself off.’’

Now we know why Kraft employs the illegals.

He will be expecting that back and more.
The Revolution’s chief operating officer, Brian Bilello, said that building a stadium for the Revolution is “a top priority’’ for the Krafts, the team, and the league.
Kraft told the Globe last week that the stadium was not a question of financing....Good. Then you can pay for it all, Mr. Billionaire.

"Young twins drown in Lynnfield" by John M. Guilfoil and Sydney Lupkin, Globe Staff | Globe Correspondent | July 18, 2010
LYNNFIELD — Two toddlers, identical twin sisters, fell into the swimming pool behind their family’s home and drowned yesterday morning, leaving their parents in shock and devastating rescuers and neighbors....
The family lives in a mansion in a secluded part of town, set back from Route 1. The brick house is at the front of the lot, with a large yard to the side and rear. In the yard is a large jungle gym, with three slides and a basketball hoop. An inflatable ball sat on the grass near a tall metal fence surrounding the property.
A stream of people came and went from the home throughout the day yesterday, but two men turned away a Globe reporter and said the family would not be issuing a statement....
I would not want to talk to them, either.
The dozen or so firefighters, paramedics, and police officers who responded to the home were immediately taken off duty yesterday as stress and grief counselors from the Metro Boston Critical Incident Stress Management Team arrived in Lynnfield.
Lynnfield Fire Chief Thomas P. Bogart said the rescuers were heartbroken....

"Another trooper struck on road; State Police to adopt new safety measures" by Jack Nicas, Globe Correspondent | July 18, 2010
After a state trooper was hit while sitting in his cruiser early yesterday during a traffic stop in Taunton — the fifth trooper struck in the past five weeks — State Police are poised to announce new safety measures this week....
The added focus on safety follows a tragic two-hour period on the state’s roads yesterday, in which three early-morning accidents left three dead and four injured, including the state trooper in Taunton. That incident was the fifth time in the past five weeks drivers have struck and injured troopers monitoring traffic, a rash of crashes that left one trooper dead, one still out of work, and three others recovering from injuries....

Another stoo-pid Idea from the Globe:
What do Gandhi and Mother Teresa have in common with Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmer? Very little, you might reply. But our perceptions of them are in certain ways surprisingly similar, according to psychologist Kurt Gray.
Though we’re accustomed to classifying people as good or evil, saints or sinners, Gray draws attention to a distinction he considers even more fundamental. As we navigate the world, he argues, we categorize the entities we encounter as either “moral agents” — those who act, who are deserving of praise or blame — or “moral patients” — those who are on the receiving end of good or bad deeds. So villains and heroes wind up on one side of this divide, with victims and beneficiaries — abused children, damsels in distress — on the other.
Both Hitler and Gandhi, for all their profound differences, are moral agents, whom we see as capable of deliberate morally freighted action, self-control, and planning. One used his moral power to inspire millions of his countrymen, of course, and the other to kill them. But their agency, Gray argues, is on some level first and foremost in our images of them.
In his lab research, Gray has identified several intriguing corollaries to this hypothesis....
These are all extreme cases: In reality, of course, most people fall somewhere in between....
Right, we are neither saints nor monsters.
And that is the Zionist prism of newspaper right there!
Always pushing the divisive extremes, except when it comes to concealing Israel's war criminals and their behavior.
