Comment on: 300-pound calf on the loose in Rehoboth; fugitive may be looking to hang out with other cows - Boston.com
This article was written by someone unfamiliar with bovines. I grew up on a dairy farm. A cow is an adult female bovine, a bull is a male bovine. A calf is a young bovine that weighs up to 100 pounds. more »

Comment on: 'New impetus for goal-line technology at Euro 2012'
I watched the replay several times, but did not see for certain that the entire ball had crossed the entire line. The decision is much easier if the ball bounces, since replays or an extra official ca more »

Comment on: Curt Schilling a hypocrite about smaller government - Metro - The Boston Globe

Comment on: Dustin Pedroia steps up to voice support for Youkilis - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Vermonter, Consider what would happen if you and I had a microphone stuck in front of our faces 162+ times a year? I don't know about you, but I'm sure that I would say a few things that might rankle more »

Comment on: Gisele Bundchen shares the wealth - The Names Blog - Boston.com
I applaud these donations, but for some of these folks, their donation is a drop in the bucket. I would call them "Generous" but not the "Most Generous". more »

An earlier article reported that there was ongoing taunting between the two players. What amazes me is that with the crackdown on bullying and taunting (at the high school and above level), there is n more »

Comment on: Mormons on center stage - The Boston Globe
I don't think anyone's religion is going to play a big part in the next presidential election. With budget issues, the wars, and national healthcare decisions to be made, the American people are looki more »

Comment on: Whereâs the outrage over drunk drivers? - The Boston Globe

Comment on: 'Men and their sex scandals'
No real insights here. The only interesting thing was the author sharing about the fantasy life of 16 year old boys. Didn't know she was an expert in that area. At the end of the article, she suggests more »

Comment on: Foolishness on the GOP presidential debates - Less Is More blog - Boston.com
This article is a waste of virtual space. It boils down to Quinn criticizing Hewitt who was criticizing something. Is this the best we can do in American journalism? Start by coming up with a construc more »

Comment on: 'Obama mocks Republican position on immigration'
My complaint is not whether he has a good or bad plan, but that he takes it personally when someone has an opposing view and uses every opportunity to chastise or insult those who disagree with him. T more »

Comment on: Ex-Miss USA says TSA 'violated' her in patdown - Globe-trotting - The Boston Globe
Reading a sampling of comments is alarming because many people cannot relate to this person as a person who has to travel frequently as part of her job. They're not going on a vacation. They have to t more »

Comment on: 'One step forward, half-step back on deficit'
Good article! The less time that the parties spend calling each other names, the more time they can spend fixing the problem. If we could all just bite the bullet and accept that we need both spending more »

Comment on: 'Julien behind the 8-ball'
Silly article. Players lose a game when they don't have the heart/drive/ability/luck or if the other team is just plain better. Yes, the coach can lose the game with enough poor decision making, but I more »

Comment on: He%20needs%20a%20real%20job
I am much older than many of the other responders, so consider this as advice from an uncle. I think the key to the question is whether you will ever want kids. If not, then you and your boyfriend may more »

Comment on: He blew it on my birthday - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
Mere, Great advice! I can relate to this guy. I don't forget birthdays, but in 30 years of marriage, I've done plenty of things to tick my wife off (rarely on purpose). We are just wired different fro more »
