I'm sure that when the bigger prehistoric mammoths got stuck in the La Brea tarpits they mitted some truly scary and sarcastic screams on their way to becoming fossilized tourist attractions.
Such is the case today with the Boston Heraldwhich gloats unashamedly at the alleged discomfiture of a few bloggers over Governor Patrick's recent political mis-steps.
Why this is news is a mystery to me.
In fact it isn't news at all, it's a smug recitation of a few bloggers angst, small beers indeed next to Scooter Libby's conviction yesterday, an item that can be found nowhere on the front page of the Herald's website.
You know what...these guys sound scared. Their readership is older than the College of Cardinals and blogging is one of those under-forty phenoms that One Herald never got from the git-go. Their daily sales have steady gone down for the past decade, the bullpen holds staff meetings in a broom closet and even Howie Carr just e-mails it in.
Yup, the Herald is stuick fast mah frens' and going down fer th' third time as well.
So they are (in the words of my grey haired old Irish Mother) "to be pitied"...time is not on their side snarkiness or no snarkiness.
