Comment on: Vergara relieved son was home for Boston bombing - A&E - Boston.com
Yes, children of celebrities are SO much more important and newsworthy than ordinary Bostonians who've been killed, maimed or otherwise traumatized.

Comment on: The Boston lockdown: safety or overkill? - Boston.comment - Boston.com
Huh? Greater Boston is the 10th largest metro area in the US. Of course it's a major US city and an "alpha" world city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_city

Comment on: Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino plans to announce he will not seek sixth term - Boston.com
His "statue" should be a big, Olmec-style concrete head. Concrete is what he deserves, given his and the BRA's fetish for it. Boston has grown progressively uglier under his watch.

Indeed. Writing about film is an art in itself.

Comment on: I wanted to change our Facebook status - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
Guys, especially younger guys, are always clueless about these things. Being a middle-aged male, I can speak from experience now :-)

Comment on: Higgins Armory Museum to close, arms and armor to go to Worcester Art Museum - - Boston.com
Why must everything unique and cool either close or die? I hope the collection will continue to be housed in that wonderful "castlelike building", but this being Massachusetts, where the new and boxy more »

Comment on: 10 ways of looking at Woodrow Wilson - Ideas - The Boston Globe
He was also a racist who expanded segregation into the federal government and no friend of the working person ~ he had Helen Keller (wrongly NOT remembered for her pro-labor activism) thrown in jail. more »

Comment on: Representative Ed Markey throws his hat into the Senate race - Metro - The Boston Globe
I still don't understand the logic of giving up 36 years of seniority and real power in the House just to become a very junior Senator. Something is very suspect. more »

How was it "cheating" when the TA provided the answers, however indirectly?

Comment on: Apartment building to replace Canestaro restaurant - Fenway-Kenmore - Your Town - Boston.com
Saving Canestaro would be "difficult for the developer to do" because of greed. Pure and simple. A pox on him.

We've become a culture that expects "perfection" in all things; this is just a reflection of that, for good or bad. Probably bad.

Comment on: With S. California expansion, Dunkinâ Donuts plans to go Hollywood - Boston.com
This is crazy. LA has some of the best donuts on the planet; Dunkin' Donuts used to be special, but now they suck. Dry, bland, weird aftertaste. They'll sink like a stone. Their coffee still rules, th more »

Comment on: Elizabeth Warrenâs family has mixed memories about heritage - Metro - The Boston Globe
Bill Weld certainly wasn't a carpetbagger. While he was born in New York, his family has DEEP New England roots. Weld Hall @ Harvard is physical proof ~ http://harvardmagazine.com/1998/11/welds.html

If they try and tear this down, I'l chain myself to the columns. South Huntington Avenue from the VA to where it meets Centre Street is a beautiful street; one of the reasons I bought here. I don't wa more »

Comment on: How to Network Well: It's Not All About You - Global Business Hub - Boston.com
I'm not sure about the advice about eating before-hand. What if there's a really good spread? Free food IS free food, and times are tight. Maybe that's going to be supper for a lot of social networker more »

Every school likes to claim it's the "Harvard of" something. Sorry. There's only one Harvard. And the "Harvard of the Midwest" is most likely to be its "virtual Ivy", the University of Chicago. Again, more »

Comment on: 'Saunders Hotel Group, Trinity Stuart plans 35-story tower near Copley Square'
What's wrong with the Clarendon? It has a nice, unified architectural design. It's not idiotic-looking like 75 Province or the neither-fish-not-fowl abominations that line Boylston St. near Fenway. more »

Comment on: Man%20injured%20during%20Brighton%20home%20invasion%2C%20BC%20police%20notified%20
Jean Shepherd's "A Christmas Story" is a holiday classic. What's *offensive* is the predictable need by someone to always find humor in tragedy. more »
