I'm gonna miss the Boston Herald when it finally goes for the terminal dirt nap.
Yesterday's screaming headline about a dog in East Boston that had been mysteriously and deliberately poisoned has to stand as an all time local genre classic on a par with "Nuclear Blast Kills Thousands".
Arthur Brisbane that frantic turn of the century Hearstian paragon couldn't have done it better.
A slow news day? Nope that is NEVER the case with the Boston Herald on the job!
I give One Herald Square all due credit, they are zealous in their mission to heat the notoriously chilly blood of Bostonians with tabloid bombast. Their columnists are all thugs and illiterates, the copy is trash, the sports page is littered with strip joint adverts...but the Herald's great theme that its a world of sudden death, slobbering sentiment and shocking revelations goes howling merrily on.
Eventually it will all go to smash, but for the moment its been a riotous ride.
