It was a week ago that I was driving home from BloggerCom. A very enriching experience. Once again Boston (well, Cambridge, but we will cal lit Boston for these purposes) is in the news. Why?

Because a young man in his early thirties had the unmitigated gall and audacity to shove a 72 year-old man to the ground.

Forget the 9 wannabe Democrats. Forget Iraq and the non-existent WMD. Forget Ah-nold the Governator-elect. Forget the French. I would say forget Charles Taylor, but in our newsmedia, he is already forgotten.

Now we must focus our attention on having Pedro Martinez thrown in jail for assualt and battery committed on the person of lovable Don Zimmer.

Nuff said.
