Comment on: 'Nation adds 200,000 jobs in December hiring surge'
Sorry, Republicans, for this inconvenient truth.

Comment on: 'In a weak economy, buying morning coffee is a small reward'
@gotham77: Good, informative posts. Read them fast, though, and they make you sound like you're pounding double espressos and chewing on chocolate-coated beans! Love coffee too. Trader Joe's sells a w more »

Comment on: 'MBTA redraws winter storm schedule, vows for better year'
Wow. It's already been said by someone in the story and probably repeated by many of the 90-odd posters here, but what a sad retreat. Public transport is supposed to be the best (sometimes only) optio more »

Comment on: 'APNewsBreak: Obama seeks debt collector proposal'
It'll be an annoyance for many who just can't pay right now. But you've gotta love all the righteous righties piling on the president for trying to collect money owed the US government. Wasn't this sa more »

Comment on: 'Queen Elizabeth cruise ship makes maiden visit to Boston'
How unfortunate that it looks like every other cruise ship: stacked to the max with cabins so that it resembles an apartment block with a hull. more » -
Comment on: 'Red Sox unworthy of playoffs, even if they qualify'
What a d**k. If they make it in, then they deserve to be there.

Uh-Os indeed. 0 and 1 so far for the series. It sort of worked to add the question mark on the headline. But editors should do that on the home page too. It's a little incongruous under the shot of a more »

Comment on: Hurricane, tropical storm watches issued for Mass. from Metro Desk
I do wish my town had acted by now on my repeated pleas over the past few months to deal with the enormous silver maple whose deadwood limbs overhang my house. It has been established that it's a town more »

Comment on: 'Buffett’
I don't follow the column's logic. This common, knee-jerk retort that Buffett should just "write a check" is a weak one. Jacoby even seems to acknowledge that. Buffett's suggesting a federal policy ch more »

Comment on: 'Romney to nearly quadruple mansion’
Someone below hit it when he commented that it's all about perception. This comes off as oblivious. Maybe just **for now** (you know, through the election cycle) make do with the 3,000-plus square foo more »

Uh, so it's an always-open Skype connection, with some aided acoustics?

Comment on: 'Alex Beam hangs with the polo set at Myopia Hunt Club in Hamilton'
Nice little piece. First time I saw Myopia play was in the late '70s/early '80s up in central New York State against American polo legend Pete Bostwick and his sons (Village Farms). I think Argentine more »

Comment on: Whatâs the matter with Texas? - The Boston Globe
Nice piece. It's too bad Romney can't stake out the radical middle and admit that he's not ashamed of what he did on health care in Mass. But the politic process would be too nuanced for the US electo more »

Comment on: 'Bachmann wishes Elvis happy birthday on death date'
You know, a minor slip in some ways. We all do it. Give her a break, yada, yada. But, as when she placed the Lexington/Concord battle up in New Hampshire, doesn't this really exhibit an *absurd* lack more »

Comment on: 'Bachmann wins Iowa straw poll, Paul ends up second'
Let these one-dimensional GOP pols chew each other up between now and November. See who'll pander most to the Christian fundamentalists and the tin-foil "patriots." As long as the Republicans fail to more »

Comment on: 'Texas Gov. Perry jumps into 2012 Republican race'
Is an "inconsequential" government one that doesn't indulge in staggeringly long-term nation-building?
And at home? What will it cut to become "inconsequential"? more » -
Comment on: 'John Henry’
Meh. Private funding, personal taste. It's not for anyone else to judge. And good for all the builders who get a piece of the action. more »

Comment on: 'Free Flow Power tests underwater turbine'
From the Portland Press-Herald earlier this summer, on the Maine project: "Ocean Renewable's turbines will generate 60 to 150 kilowatts, enough electricity to power 25 to 60 homes, said John Ferland, more »

Comment on: 'Free Flow Power tests underwater turbine'
Being explored off Maine coast too -- tidal power. Turbines on the seabed would be out of sight, and they appear not to be a hazard to marine life. I think someone on here has posted the link. more »
@November-6: You're a world-class cut-and-paster.
Thanks for the blizzard of stats and the market report.
The Dow's also up more than 8.5% over three months ago.
