Former education secretary and director of drug control policy Bill Bennett is causing some serious controversy. On his radio show “Morning in America,” he said the following:
“But I do know that it’s true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby [...]

I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed when Opie and Anthony announced that Ron and Fez were getting the “golden ticket” and joining XM 202.
I’d never heard their show before, and I really liked that O&A had a replay right after their morning show. This gave me a chance to do [...]

Last night, I met Kristina at Central Square. Since she has the day off on Wednesdays, she met up with her friend Zhara (probably spelled that wrong) for lunch and some shopping. Zhara went to MIT and is on their alumni association. Ben Mezrich and Semyon Dukach were speakers last night at an event to [...]

This morning, I woke up when a dog was walking ontop of me.
At around 4:30 or so, apparently Toby [...]

I stink.
I’ve tried my best to stay away from all those super-popular TV shows right now. Desperate Housewives? Not a chance. Lost? No way.
Until last night.
Kristina really wanted to see this show and I wanted to stay away. The only TV shows that I watch religiously are Family Guy and Law and Order: Criminal Intent. [...]

On the way in to work this morning, I talked with the same guy I see every day outside Haymarket Station. He’s a panhandler (I don’t know if he’s homeless….though he has made passing references to the “shelter’) who really keeps up-to-date on sports news.
This morning, he started talking about the Red Sox, and how [...]

I haven’t been looking at Craig’s List’s Boston site in a long time. I used to check out rants and raves almost daily, but I’ve pretty much given up on it. It’s very predictable.
Rants and Raves Personalities
There are several personality types that are always posting on Craig’s List. You can’t escape them.
You’re a filthy [...]
