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.

Poor Tara Connor. The former beauty queen and igniter of the Donald Trump-Rosie O’Donnell feud was publicly humiliated for behaving like any rebellious teenager would. See if she’s kept up her hard-partying ways at the Little Black Dress Party at The Estate.

We’re all Mitt all the time this afternoon, but we had to get this one out there. Romney’s website reminded us that he has changed his mind once again, this time agreeing to be on tomorrow night’s CNN/YouTube Republican debate. In July, he couldn’t be bothered to show up. But late last month, he decided he’d love to attend.

That’s one way to ease the financial burden of heating your home: A thief in Biddeford, Maine stole a truck full of home heating oil and removed over 500 gallons of the black gold. Don’t hold out hope that he’ll stop by your house—while the criminal hasn’t been caught, they got the truck back. [WCVB]

There have been plenty of stories written about our former governor, including the Globe’s extensive series and a piece penned by our very own magazine. But, regrettably, few bother to challenge Mitt Romney on much of anything.

We here at Boston Daily love cheese in its many wonderful forms. Whether it’s a nice melted mozzarella in a panini or a sharp cheddar on a slice of apple, we appreciate the dedicated souls who produce the dairy product we most love to consume.

If you have seen a national news broadcast or a newspaper this holiday season, you know that consumers aren’t feeling as flush as they have in the past. It’s difficult to muster up much sympathy for huge chain stores that are feeling the pinch, but we do feel bad for local arts organizations whose turnout drops as audiences stop opening their wallets so freely.

Dr. Charles Steinberg, the patron saint of Pink Hat Hell, is making his long-rumored move to Los Angeles, where he will no doubt make it his mission to enlist fans to join Dodger Dominion, or some such nonsense.

As Executive Vice President/Public Affairs, Steinberg won well-deserved kudos for helping turn Fenway Park into a place to see and be seen, as opposed to a cramped and aging relic with a baseball game as the only means of amusement. And Steinberg also earned well-deserved scorn for the exact same reasons. We’re fickle that way. (more…)

Dear Milton Academy Student Body,

Hello there, future of America. Boston Daily here. As you may have gathered, we’re a bit older than you. Which probably makes our obsession with your extra-curricular activities slightly creepy. But we read about your latest foray into unethical behavior and we wanted to tell you something.

We’re disappointed in your latest scandal.

C’mon get slappy: An Arlington nurse wants to make spanking a child illegal, even in a parent’s own home. The legislator who filed the petition for the nurse is skeptical on whether this is a violation of parent’s rights, but figures it’s worth a shot. [Herald]
