Why do fools fall in love?
Brian McGrory recently admitted publicly that he could not decide if he were a fool or Mitt Romney were a fraud. At issue: $400,000 Romney cut from state funding for homeless shelters.
Now, in the face of a public outcry, Romney has restored the money. And Brian is in love with the governor again:
... What Romney did on Friday when he reversed the cut was something all too rare in public life: He made a difference.
One wonders whether Brian's next column will express outrage over the way the governor's cuts are keeping state psychiatric hospitals from admitting new patients. And then, when the Occasional Governor restores that money, McGrory will realize here's a man he could love forever - again.

Hey, Brian, why don't you go run Mitt's next campaign?
so the Globe can hire a writer to replace you?
It makes no difference
Can McGrory's logic be extended to this hypothetical:
Let's say I stab some one outside a bar with a broken beer bottle, but then rush the injured party to the hospital. Am I a villain for stabbing this person, or a hero for taking him/her to the hospital?
Either way, I certainly made a difference in that person's life.
