Jay Severin, puffer fish

After he got called on his online "Pulitzer," WTKK mouth Jay Severin backtracked and said he'd won an award that was just like a Pulitzer. Dan shows even that is a stretch. Handy tool, that LexisNexis.

If FEMA had been around on April 19, 1775

Jay writes some alternative history:

... Menotomy Minutemen! Where do you think you're going? Who authorized you to defend that village against Redcoats? It's not even on the map. It says here "Arlington." You haven't even filled out a Sparsely Populated Urban Warfare AQ-207-1 form!!! Get back to the stonewall!

To the aspiring DJ next door

Eeka considers what she'd say to him, if he could hear her over the neighborhoood-rattling volume he has his speakers set to:

... While you have good taste and a good feel for consistency of tempos, you really do need to work on smoother crossfades. That last one sounded really amateur, especially when you followed it with a shout-out of "Hey Boston, how you feeling tonight?" Honestly, I wouldn't expect to have a crowd warranting that particular form of address in your living room any time soon. Though, on second thought, a fair portion of the city of Boston can hear your performance right now, so I suppose it is kind of you to ask us how we're feeling. Since you asked, I'm feeling a little irritated that I'm involuntarily listening to your music inside my house. ...

Our very own Obama?

Sco writes he's never liked the seemingly superficial comparisons between Barack Obama and our own Deval Patrick. But there's Obama himself making the comparison in a speech at Harvard yesterday:

... the Senator recalled that in his own primary, many people thought he was the best candidate, and would be the best Senator, but doubted his ability to win a contested primary against several other popular figures. He then mentioned that there was someone there that a lot of people thought would make the best governor, and pointed Deval Patrick out to the crowded room. With that endorsement, I have to imagine that Patrick had a pretty good fundraising weekend.

Not faire?

Via H2otown, we learn that the organizers of next week's Faire on the Square in Watertown Square are doing their darndest to keep politics out. A pity, H2otown opines:

... H2otown would be very entertained by a Watertown version of London's Speaker's Corner, where anyone can climb a short platform and speak their peace. We get so little information about local candidates that such a thing would be a veritable public service. ...

Federal diversity thugs

Mats is not surprised the city settled the voting rights case:

... Naturalized citizens - who somehow passed the English-only citizenship test - don't know enough English to actually vote, so the fedral gumint forces the City "to provide more bilingual poll workers to speak Vietnamese, Chinese and Spanish and provide more bilingual election information." according to the Boston Herald. (Why waste money on bilingual info? These people don't speak English!) ...

At this point, a win's a win

Sully's having trouble deciding which team had the worst manager last night:

... Perhaps (Francona's) worst crime of the night was leaving Doug Mirabelli in to face the marvelous Justin Duscherer in the 9th, after deciding to take Wakefield out. Remember people, it's expanded roster season. Of course because they apparently went on a dual baby-killing spree, Tito hates Roberto Petagine and Kelly Shoppach, and any move that could possibly trigger having to play either one of the two is to be avoided at all costs. ...
