The Last Word

Your long day of corporate drudgery is over. Get out and enjoy the city! Here are a few ideas to get you started, lovingly picked by Boston Daily.

We’ve been feeling pretty good lately. If all the post-championship happiness is starting to freak you out, head to the Orpheum to catch Morrissey. If anyone can bring us back to our dour New England selves, it’s the Mozzer.

There You Have the Red Sox Rally

Much like life itself, you’ve got to take the good with the bad at the rolling rally. Boston Daily literally ran up Mass Ave. (who knew the rally would start on time?) and then on to Copley Square to partake in the celebration. In case you have the one boss who didn’t let his/her employees take long lunches, here’s the good and the bad, according to us.

Mayor Injures Himself at Rally

According to the Herald, Mayor Tom Menino injured his knee when he stumbled off the stage at Fenway Park. Hizzoner was holding the World Series trophy, and thankfully, the trophy is fine. The Mayor is too, apparently. (more…)

 

Red Sox Redhead Rewind

Two weeks ago, Boston Daily became a Red Sox Redhead. At that time, the Sox were losing to the Indians and we feared we may have sent Amy Derjue on a fool’s errand. Luckily for her, she’s now sporting the colors of the 2007 World Series champions. With the season over, we asked her how she liked rocking the red.

Probation For the ‘Don’t Tase Me Bro’ Kid

Andrew Meyer, the 21-year-old University of Florida student, who gained a small measure of notoriety, or infamy, with his, ‘Don’t Tase me bro!’ incident at a John Kerry appearance in Gainesville, will not be charged, and will instead accept voluntary probation.

Meyer claims that the odd exchange was not a stunt, and that the (ha!) communication major, “went there to ask an important question. The question of voter disenfranchisement in America cuts to the heart of our democracy, and my failure to act calmly resulted in this important town forum ending without the discourse intended.” (Check out the YouTube clip here)

Meyer also praised the University of Florida for helping him see the light. Perhaps there was more to the Taser than a burst of electricity. (more…)

 

A Letter to the Rest of America from Boston Daily

Dear America,

Hi. Boston Daily here. We’ve been pretty busy lately, what with our football team going from city to city on their national tour of ass-kicking and our baseball team winning the World Series for the second time in four years. But now that we’ve had time to sleep and purchase our 2007 championship gear, we wanted to gloat a little.

Local Man Illustrates Global Warming, with Elephants

We all know that the US pumps nearly six million tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year. What we don’t know is what that weight is in elephants. Nor do we have any way of visualizing what it would look like if we had actually pumped six million tons of elephants into the atmosphere and then let gravity do its thing. Until now. (more…)

 

Pike Hike

1193751347Crap.

We were hoping this wasn’t going to happen. Unfortunately, it did. Yesterday, the ever-popular Massachusetts Turnpike Authority voted 3-to-2 to increase tolls at four locations.

Remember when the current governor said he was going to shut down the MTA?

Remember when the old governor said he was going to eliminate tolls altogether?

Seems as though we were all duped by our elected officials. Shocking. (more…)
