2012-05-23T14:17:31Z

Someone compiled nearly all the "Are you pondering what I'am pondering" answers that Pinky gives Brain in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-xrnIXQ3iQ

Here are my 10 Favorites:

1. I think so Brain, but if we get Sam Spade then we will never have any puppies.
2. I think so, Brain, but I don't think

RIP WFNX

2012-05-17T23:27:32Z

I just listened to Adam Xii play the classic Buffalo Tom track "Taillights Fade" in his last show ever for WFNX which was recently bought by Clear Channel in a deal that closest parallel is when The Death Star blew up Alderaan. When I first heard this news yesterday, a small piece of me died; I realize that is a little mellow dramatic, but I grew up listening to WFNX and when you are an teenager you constantly trying to find ways to create an identity and WFNX ...

C's beat 76ers#GritandBalls

2012-05-13T13:25:12Z

Last week, KG made headlines with his Grit and Balls interview, but it is the perfect way to describe this team; the new big 3 are not the old big 3 and at times look like it. Allen has bone spurs in his ankle and Pierce can't get any lift off his knee but they make enough shots when we need them to like Pierce's jumper in the final minutes last night. KG the past 2 games was in full fountain of youth mode leading the ...

Derek Lowe vs. Josh Beckett

2012-05-13T13:18:04Z

As long as an athlete is not doing unconscionable crimes like spousal abuse, I don't care what they are doing in their down time; thus, I don't care that Josh Becket golfed and I don't care that last year he was drinking beer and eating fried chicken. I can what they do on the mound and that is where Becket has sucked this year and the end of last year; early in the week he lost to Derek Lowe who is a classic example of what I mean. Derek Lowe by many accounts is a womanizing drunk who ...

Dear Republicans Criticizing Obama For “Politicizing” Getting Bin Laden,

2012-05-01T18:18:37Z

You guys politicized 9/11 and war a shit ton of times over the past 10 years. Do you not remember George Bush’s advertisements that used9/11 and Ground Zero as a back drop? Do you not remember the constant accusations that John Kerry would be soft on the war on terror? Or how about Mitt Romney criticizingObama during the 08 campaign because Obama said he would unilaterally go intoPakistan to get Bin Laden if he had actionable intelligence (you ...

Red Sox Hit New Low

2012-04-22T15:23:34Z

The Red Sox blew a 9 run lead yesterday and still played Sweet Caroline because "good times never felt so good, so good." They need to blow up this team. I mean trade some major figures like Beckett, Youk, and hell Buchholz is annoying me too now a days and he might have the most value so him too I also want to see are best prospects like Middlebrooks, Lavarnway, and Iglesias . Oh yeah, fire Bobby V and bring in Damarlo Hale. The bright side is if we continue to suck this much, we will get a top 5 draft pick next year. ...

Album Reviews: Nicki Minaj, Cloud Nothings, and Rick Ross

2012-04-21T13:19:41Z

Pink Friday-Roman Reloaded by Nicki Minaj GRADE B

This album’s deluxe versions has 23 total tracks and it is all over the place; you can tell that the label told Nicki to makes tracks for all segments of her audience, the hip hop heads, rnb, pop, and dance tracks. Pleasing everyone on one album is nearly impossible which leads to this album being pretty hit and miss throughout.

The album is a its best on songs like “Beez In The Trap”, “Come on a Cone”, “Stupid Hoe”, ...

2012-04-17T17:29:45Z

I saw a couple of Turkey's waking across North Beacon st in Watertown yesterday; they stopped at the Hess Gas station for a little bit and then crossed Arsenal St. heading toward the Wild Wily's Burger's parking lot.

Around The Horn: Thoughts On Baseball So Far...

2012-04-16T01:17:16Z

I was at the Sox game today, and obviously the home cooking of Fenway has done the Sox well (aside from the Jacoby injury)
The main reason for the Sox success is David Ortiz tearing the cover off the ball so far this season which is in sharp contrast to his past slow Aprils.
The only person in baseball hotter than Papi is Matt Kemp who is continuing where he left off last year with 6 home runs; right now Kemp is the best overall player in baseball and with the Dodgers owning the ...

"My Week With Marilyn" and "Like Crazy" Have Something In Common

2012-04-16T01:08:01Z

In the past couple weeks I saw the movies "My Week With Marilyn" which should have go a best picture nomination and best actress win for Michelle Williams and the movie "Like Crazy" which was a good but not great movie; the movies don't have much in common except for one thing. In My Week With Marilyn the dude goes from dating a character played by Emma Watson to a Michelle Williams and in Like Crazy the dude goes ...

Will Washington Capitals Fans Taunt Thomas With "Obama" Chant

2012-04-16T01:00:07Z

I don't want to give the opposing teams ideas, but if I was a Washington Capitals fan, I would try to get under Tim Thomas' nerves by doing an "Obama, Obama, Obama" chant every time he let up a goal. ...

Kanye West Channels Ma$e on "Theraflu"

2012-04-10T02:03:31Z

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-35PTQoKJeY

Kanye's very G.O.O.D. new track "Theraflu" (link above) has gotten tons of press for its references to Kim Kardashian and the fact that he pissed both PETA and Theraflu off; however, it should be noted that the track is built around Kanye quoting Mase lines from "Looking At Me" That should be no surprise thought because Kanye in 2004 called Mase his favorite rapper in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine.http://forums.projectcovo.com/showthread.php?t=618228 This begs the question, will Kanye get Mase away from the preachers pulpit long enough ...

Red Sox and Baseball Predictions

2012-04-08T12:30:12Z

So I was busy all week and thus a little late on this, but here it goes.

Last year, sucked for the Red Sox and their fans, but it was a great year for baseball as a whole. There were plenty of memorable moments down the stretch and in the World Series. The offseason has been equally intriguing with many of the game’s biggest stars switching teams and landing in unexpected spots. Furthermore, there is now a new wrinkle of the second wild card which theoretically should add drama down the ...

Club Naga In Central Square Fills a Void The City Needed

2012-04-01T17:32:02Z

I went to the new "Club Naga" http://nagacambridge.com/ which is located in the back of the new Moksa Restaurant in Central Square last night and it really fits a void the city was missing; we have plenty of bars and clubs that play the same basic top 40 hits and mash ups (Think LMFAO and Black Eyed Peas), but few that play actual dance ...

This is a Great article about the pedagogical benefits of using walks around the city to spur children's interest and learning in a variety of areas. From my own experience, any time we go for a walk with my class the children constantly make observations and ask questions about everything they see.

Everyone Has A Spectrum Disorder

I admit that I am bias because of my life experience, but I think that most spectrum disorders diagnoses are complete bull shit and that were are pathologizing completely normal differences in ...

Romney's Big Weakness That Is Not Being Mentioned

2012-03-21T02:11:30Z

Romney won Illinois tonight to help him along his slow trudge through the muck of the Republican Primary. Many' of Romney's weaknesses as he has been going against the cast of losers known as the other Republican contenders have been discussed ad nauseum (such as his inability to connect with people) but few bring up the fact that he has essentially done Jack Shit the past 5 years. Romney brings up all his experience in the economy and all that, but most of that was over a decade ago and he has not been governor of MA for over 5 ...

Garbage Needs A New Booking Agent

2012-03-16T17:38:36Z

I was waited in line for over a half an hour and was the 7th person in line for Garbage tickets at the Paradise Box Office and the show was sold out by the time I got up there. Why in the world is Garbage who has sold millions of albums and with a pent up fan base playing the Paradise which holds about 800 people and usually has up and coming or local acts playing there? Who is their booking agent because they need to move the show to a bigger venue. On a side note, their ...
