Time to make the logo
Monday, January 28th, 2008
Here’s the logo for some artsy event in Sweden: It must be sending subliminal messages because I feel like having a large cup of coffee. Delish!

Boston University Terriers outplayed by UNH Wildcats, lose 5-3
Sunday, January 27th, 2008
Sometimes it’s fun to watch a game with really few preconceived notions or prior knowledge about it. The wife and I went to last night’s game between Boston University Terriers and University of New Hampshire Wildcats at Agganis Arena on Commonwealth Avenue. While I root for the Terriers in whatever sport they play in (and [...]

A compelling reason for Republicans to oppose immigration
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008
Below is a screenshot from an online poll at the website of one of Sweden’s biggest daily newspapers. They question is “Who do you hope will become America’s next president?” “Annan” is Other and “Vet ej” is Don’t know. I have no idea what John Edwards did to so royally piss of the Swedes.

Summer is the cruelest of seasons
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008
Boston Red Sox fans are an obnoxious bunch. Their team having the second highest payroll in Major League Baseball isn’t enough of an advantage for them, they want guaranteed championships. Red Sox Nation? More like Red Sox Welfare State.

We’re moving on. San Diego.
Monday, January 14th, 2008
Those were New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s words during his press conference the week leading up to the game against San Diego in week two of the regular season, when all the reporters asked about was the ridiculous Spygate and the grotesquely excessive fine levied by the National Football League on Belichick. The [...]

Ho-hum. New England Patriots beat much hyped Jacksonville Jaguars 31-20
Monday, January 14th, 2008
Top Line: New England Patriots advanced to the 2007 AFC Championship Game by beating Jacksonville Jaguars 31-20 in the AFC divisional playoff game. Jaguars tried to shorten the game not by holding on to the ball but by taking away New England’s downfield passing game, forcing the Patriots to march slowly and patiently down the [...]

A vintage rivalry: New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts jostle for supremacy in the NFL
Thursday, January 10th, 2008
[I write quite a bit of stuff that I don't publish for one reason or another. The following is a piece I wrote in spring 2007, after New England's brutal loss to Indianapolis Colts in the 2006 AFC Championship Game. With New England having completed the first ever 16-0 regular season and Colts sitting on [...]

Job growth in Massachusetts: When failure is the better option
Sunday, January 6th, 2008
A couple of months ago MassInc released a report on the feeble job growth in Massachusetts. Massachusetts slowly has been adding jobs for almost four years but is still 100,000 jobs short of the peak in 2001. Sluggish job growth in Massachusetts is not just an effect of the latest business cycle. The report claims [...]
