No surprise to me you are not seeing these stories in the web version:
"IRISH PROTESTS -- Demonstrators set fire to a poster of Prime Minister Brian Cowen of Ireland outside Leinster House after thousands of people marched yesterday through central Dublin to protest the government's austerity measures (Boston Globe November 28 2010)."
"ITALIAN STUDENTS LASH OUT AT CUTS -- Holding sheilds featuring book titles, thousands of students marched in Rome yesterday to protest proposed state university budget cuts. The students clashed with riot police, who used tear gas to keep demonstrators from reaching Parliament. Lawmakers approved the overhaul bill a few hours later (Boston Globe December 1 2010)."
Yeah, you wouldn't want Americans getting any ideas from the Irish or Italians.
"FLOODING IN VENEZUELA -- A man waded through flooded streets in Higuerote, Venezuela, yesterday. At least 25 people have died as heavy rains hit the Central American nation, and thousands more have been affected. President Hugo Chavez has declared a state of emergency in the capital Caracas, and the states of Miranda, Falcon, and Vargas (Boston Globe December 2 2010)."
I thought Venezuela was in South America.
"STILL CLEANING UP THE MESS IN THE GULF -- Workers with nets combed Waveland Beach in Mississippi yesterday cleaning up tar balls that continue to wash ashore from the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that occurred last April. Lawyers for BP said that government estimates of the size of the spill are too large in a dispute that will mark how many billions of dollars in fines the oil giant will have to pay (Boston Globe December 7 2010)."
This after the government told us the oil was all gone months ago.

"THE OPENING PUNCH -- A wrecker truck pulled Joey Carrow of Levant, Maine, and his SUV up an embankment after he skidded on an Interstate 95 onramp in Bangor yestrday. Heavy snow -- more than a foot deep, in some places -- fell in northern Maine for the first time this season (Boston Globe December 7 2010)."
And it isn't even winter yet, fart-misting fascistas!
"ILLINOIS WOMAN MISSING -- Investigators searched for clues yesterday at the site of a car crash near Seneca, Ill., where Dale Shannon was found dead behind the wheel early Sunday. His wife, Tanya, has not been seen since the couple left a holiday party together Saturday evening during a snowfall. The car was found in a ditch, with a shoe and footprints in the snow nearby. Dozens of volunteers have helped search for the mother of four children ages 4 to 15 (Boston Globe December 8 2010)."
"SNOW BOUND -- Dominick Lioto and his two brothers Joey (back left), and Anthony, helped their mother, Lisa, shovel snow off the driveway of their North Syracuse, N.Y., home yesterday. GreatLakes-fed storms pounded parts of upstate New York, closing schools and causing numerous accidents. Forecasters have called for more snow into today (Boston Globe December 9 2010)."
Are YOU sensing a PATTERN like ME, readers?
I find the caption from the war-promoting paper offensive in this next unseen photo:
"ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE -- John Lennon fans remembered the music icon yesterday at New York City's Strawberry Fields, the Central Park garden dedicated in his honor. Fans in several cities around the world held vigils to mark the 30th anniversary of Lennon's murder in New York. His widow, Yoko Ono, asked fans to remember him with love and respect (Boston Globe December 9 2010)."
Let me take a minute to do that.
