RECENT COLUMNS
Patrick's fuzzy math on taxes
WHAT IS Governor Deval Patrick thinking? When it comes to state budget matters, he's sending taxpayers a mixed message that simply doesn't add up. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)
The audacity of ego
JUST LIKE the Obama girl, Obama has a crush on Obama. Barack Obama always was a larger-than-life candidate with a healthy ego. Now he's turning into the A-Rod of politics. It's all about him. (Boston Globe, 7/20/08)
A smoldering credibility problem
BOSTON FIREFIGHTER Albert Arroyo is giving public servants a really bad name. Arroyo looks like he can bench-press a tanker truck. Yet, he claims he suffered a back injury so severe he can't pick up a clipboard and do his job as a fire inspector. (Boston Globe, 7/17/08)
It's time for Marzilli to resign
FROM THE jail cell where he was held after his arrest on charges that he accosted four women, state Senator James J. Marzilli Jr. asked his lawyer if he should resign. (Boston Globe, 7/13/08)
Fire Department's culture problem
CLOSE RANKS. Protect self interest, not the public interest. The Boston Firefighters' Union is once again flaunting its me-first culture and resistance to change. (Boston Globe, 7/10/08)
Make over old views, not political wives
MANCHESTER, N.H. SHE PRAISED Hillary and the military and expressed gratitude to America. Michelle Obama's makeover from fiery and unpredictable to sweet and scripted is underway. It's another kind of change Barack Obama believes in for victory in November. (Boston Globe, 6/29/08)
The education reform gamble
ENDURING speeches and miscellaneous hoopla, the children at the Dorchester Boys & Girls Club were remarkably patient in their role as props. (Boston Globe, 6/26/08)
