Here are excerpts of a report we ran Wednesday night on the 11pm news.

If you control what you eat, you may be able to control whether or not you get cancer.
The World Cancer Research Fund has looked at half a million studies from around the world, and came up with a single list of what [...]

IT JUST SEEMS WRONG
Posted in People, tagged Eagles, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison on October 30, 2007 | 4 Comments »
The Eagles have just released their first album of all new material in 28 years.
But there are only two places you can purchase “Long Road Out of Eden.”
Their website, or Wal-Mart.
It seems peculiar that Don Henley (first among Eagle equals), who spent a lot of time and energy saving Walden Pond, has partnered up with [...]
MVP

The MVP of the Red Sox?
It has to be Terry Francona.
I’m not talking Most Valuable Player, richly deserved by Mike Lowell.
I’m talking Most Valuable Person. Terry Francona.
I really admire the guy.Somehow, he manages not only the Boston Red Sox baseball team, (a team that does exceptionally well at the beginning of every century) but the [...]

Among the birthday offerings to my dearly beloved is an iPod. An iPod nano, to be precise.As usual, we’re late to the game, because of my lingering (if you want to call 37 years or so ‘lingering’) annoyance over 8-tracks. (And if you don’t know what an 8-track is, don’t ask. I couldn’t take it.)
I [...]
GOD REST CURT GOWDY

OK, I think I’ve got it.
Good hitters are “locked in”…good pitchers are “dialed in.”
Where’s that ol’ “Cowboy at the Mike” when we really need him?

Q: Hey Gerry, when a Red Sox World Series game is airing on another station, isn’t it difficult doing the 11 o’clock news? Or is it really you doing the news, or maybe some kind of computer-generated evil twin?
(Joanie from Haddam)
A: Joanie, glad you asked! Don’t worry, it sure is me on the 11 o’clock [...]
HIRSUTE PURSUIT
Posted in Politics, tagged Chris Dodd, hair on October 23, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Chris Dodd is turning to one of his greatest assets as he campaigns in Iowa for the Democratic presidential nomination.
His hair.
The man has a fabulous head of hair.
A head of hair the nation could stand up and salute.
The kind of hair that other world leaders would envy.
And to that end, Dodd’s newest television ad [...]
NOW & THEN

The magic is missing.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled that the Red Sox are back in the World Series, but this time, it’s different.
A sense of wonderment seems to be missing. Anybody see wonderment?
Wonderment was seeing the Sox come back from that 0-3 hole against the Yankees in 2004. Cardinals? Hah! Curse over.
It was that [...]
WHAT A DAY!

WOW, WOW, WOW.
Who would have thought that on a day matinee idol Tom Brady threw SIX touchdown passes, the toast of New England would be that little dirt dog, Dustin Pedroia?
MANNY BEING QUOTED
Posted in Sports, tagged ALCS, Boston Red Sox, Manny Ramirez on October 19, 2007 | 8 Comments »
No wonder Manny Ramirez usually doesn’t speak to the sports media.
He did this week (again!) and paid for it with this quote on beating Cleveland in the ALCS.
“If it doesn’t happen, so who cares? There’s always next year. It’s not like it’s the end of the world or something.”
That was the headline quote…the quote spelled [...]
