The Week That Was

By Paul Flannery· 1/25/2008, 4:45 p.m.

Chronicling the past week via quick links and pithy commentary (Walking Boot edition)

It began with a boot: A walking boot to be exact. Then there wasn’t a boot, but there were flowers. But still no Brady. What gives?

Feud No. 1: First, Sal DiMasi called out Deval Patrick. Then the governor’s budget received less-than-stellar reviews. Finally, Patrick got in a shot of his own.

Feud No. 2: The Metro told us that a report in the Globe was bogus. And the Metro further responded with a report that royally ticked off the broadsheet. This will be fun.

Monday

Mitt Romney lets the dogs out: That’s it. We can’t follow that with a joke.

Tuesday

Johnny Damon endorses Rudy: Of course he does.

Whole Foods finally answers the question that has plagued humanity: Paper.

Posh Spice will be coming to Boston: We were kind of hoping for Sporty.

Wednesday

Paris Hilton ignites long-simmering tensions between Lampoon, Hasty Pudding: How will we ever choose sides in this one?

The red-bellied cooter will not come between us and the blackjack table: Nice try environmentalists.

Thursday

Someone broke into Romney’s office: Again.

We love this Somerville guy: Maybe he can hook up Chuck Turner next time it snows.
