What’s up with the editorial board of THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY PUBLISHED NEWSPAPER IN AMERICA?
Is the board bored?
Are they trying to “reach out”?
Reading through the customary four editorials Thursday, I learned they like the Johan Santana trade, they’re really into “Lost” on ABC, and they’re glad ESPN didn’t fire Dana Jacobson for her profanity-filled performance at [...]

If he’s making the “I’m sorry” tour, that can only mean one thing.
Oprah is realllllly pissed off.
She owns him.
THE SYSTEM REALLY WORKS!

When you want it to…
The Connecticut primary is next Tuesday, and instead of being a speck in the sandbox, it appears our little state will be heard from.
Clinton’s been here, Obama’s coming, and so is McCain.That’s nice, considering they could be spending all their time in Arizona, California, New York, or Missouri.
And they could [...]

No, not Carlos and Turner.
In a bit of a baseball mood today, so let’s start with Johan Santana to the Mets…a win-win-win.
Red Sox fans are happy he’s not going to the Yankees. And they keep their kids.

OXYMORON

Driving home after the 11pm news Monday night, I blew by a car with the vanity plate NASCAR.
It’s not that I was going that fast, but the other driver was going reallllly slow.
Yes, it was a Buick.
Still, it seemed strange.
My favorite oxymoron, however remains rum (Mount Gay, please) and diet Coke.
JUST WONDERING…

Why is it that folks in the Hartford area think nothing of hopping in the car for a night out in New Haven…
But most people I know in the New Haven area think Greater Hartford is a foreign country for which they need a passport and overnight bag?

We loved them, they loved us.
That was the postscript to the 2006 bass fishing tournament that brought big bucks into Hartford.
The tournament folks said Hartford was great, Hartford folks said the fishing people were wonderful, and hey, y’all come back now, hear?
So they’ll be in Hot Springs, Arkansas for the 2008 tournament…because the city couldn’t [...]

TOKYO (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are putting advertisements on their uniforms for the first time.
The World Series champions said Wednesday they will wear sleeve patches with the logo “EMC” when they open the season with a two-game series against the Oakland Athletics at the Tokyo Dome on March 22 and 23.
EMC Corp. is [...]
SNOW JOB

When I was a kid, I walked 5 miles to school every day…UPHILL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS…in blinding snowstorms.
Not really, but what was with the cancellations and early dismissals that came in Tuesday for…what…a DUSTING?
Is this what it’s come to? We run for cover at the mere mention of snow?
Yes, I know Brad said we’d get [...]
THE SUPPORTING CAST

So I survived missing the Patriots game to see “Young Frankenstein.” (Though I did call my brother at intermission to get the score.)
The show was fun, the principal stars (Roger Bart, Megan Mullally) were in fine form, though an understudy did assume one of the key roles.
Her name, according to the program, is Christina Marie [...]
