Ugly news day....

A post Superbowl pall has settled over the Boston Globe, college students rioted in the aftermath of the Pats victory and John Kerry despite all continues his improbable march to glory.
The streets of Boston all the way from Northeastern to Morrissey Boulevard are crowded with wreckage and punctured egos.
This malaise has even penetrated the op-ed page wherein today Joan Vennocchi sighed, swore, and halfhearted tried to pump up a "Romney for Veep" bid.
Poor poor Joan...this must be tough, never a particularly diligent reporter she faithfully babbled all the Right Things about John Kerry and look how she ended up...?
Inane and isolated.

The more I read of the Globe's op-ed page the more I realize this is the most ignorant self satisfied bunch of phonies that has been fielded by an aspiring national newspaper in fifty years.
And more than a few of them seem to be "non practicing attorneys"....and we all know how much lawyers just love the plain unvarnished truth don't we?
Nonetheless, there is a dispirited "another country heard from" quality to Joan's Romney for Veep jihad....because clearly the Commonwealth just deserves an Acting Governor as trite and ill-prepared as Kerry Healey.
If Joan can't destroy John Kerry then she'll figuratively destroy the state with Governor Kerry Healey-a personage clearly unqualified to act as a school crossing guard in Beverly.
Kerry is surging in the polls (as of today), meanwhile Romney (the hero of the Globe's punditariat) languishes with low public approval ratings.
Having been proven wrong about damn near everything, what is a sensible columnist to do?
Why elevate a batty lightweight Lt. Governor to the corner office-that'll generate some headlines.
Sick
Demented
Typical...
