Bill:
OK, tell me which of our most esteemed Knights of of the Keyboard wrote this openah:
Bill:
"Vacant streets, vacant buildings, and vacant looks in the eyes of hard-working people who have had their livelihoods erased or threatened …"
Doug:
Ah, frig, that's too easy. Nobody lays on the unctuous quite like the CHB.
Bill:
Seriously, aftah reading that I need to take showah to wash all the false sentiment off me.
Doug:
Out out damned spot. Who would have thought the old hack to have had so much smug in him?
Bill:
To be fair, though, this might be one of the few times when Shaughnessy is being sincere. I mean the Globe's pissing away of $85 million a year in losses and the decline of the newspaper business has a lot in common with the auto industry.
Doug:
True, and Shaughnessy's columns are as much of a "must read" these days as the Pontiac Aztek is a "must drive."
Bill:
Meanwhile, hats off to Terry Francona for win numbah 500 with the Red Sox.
Doug:
Absolutely. I'll be the first to confess I was "Meh" with a capital M when he was first named managah, but boy was I wrong.
Bill:
500 wins, 2 World Series? Terry's da Man.
Doug:
Seriously, they should name a notch in New Hampshire aftah him.
