It is pretty amazing. People will try to get you to sample their addictive
wares then offer a caveat at the end of their commercials. Massachusetts offers Lottery tickets and tells people that it is better to buy their tickets than to go out on dates or do other things that make the human race tick. Then, at the end of their stupid ads, they will say please gamble...

I don't know what the odds are about a 5-10 kid rising
from a small rural town in Massachusetts to become a basketball star sought by 100 AAA colleges, but 17 year old Brian Rudolph managed to do so until he attended a party last Saturday night where he stabbed an 18 year old kid in the back and thus has to face criminal charges. I hope he learns to...

The other day, I was playing scales on the piano in the comunity room
of our building. My scales weren't coming out succesfully so I experienced compassion for the other residents and went to get my mail. A loud bit of yelling arose from the site manager's office and it continued for quite a while. When I passed the office, I saw that the site manager was yelling at...

The Ogress gave new orders for the building. These orders are probably not
her fault but we tenants have to pay the price nevertheless. From now on, we have to pay for every light bulb or oven tray that we ask for. The light bulb cost $1.00 and the oven tray costs $2.00. Plus, we have to pay the building maintenance worker at least $10.00 for a half hour of labor if he...

The man who fell from the wheeled chair and broke his
hip has since died. This is a dreadful incident that should have been avoided. Nobody should have allowed wheeled chairs to be in the front lobby because they were too treacherous for old people and the disabled and indeed in the shiny floors many able bodied people would have trouble arising from...

The Big Dig is going to foist another faux pas on the
tax payer. It is bad enough that the Big Dig cost about six times the original price tag of $2.5 billion, but now the tax payer is going to have to shoulder the cost of repairing the many leaks that have sprung up in the process of building. That is kind of like a boxer taking a sharp left jab after...

On Saturday night, a respected 27 year veteran of
the Providence RI police department was killed during a routine interrogation of a suspect. Det. James L. Allen 50, was killed by 26 year old Estaban Carpio who subsequently jumped 35 feet to the street below from a third storey window to hail a taxi to take him to New York City. God knows how...

They found Christa Worthington's murder suspect three years
after her death in Trauro, which had enough intrigue to make a TV movie or even a mini-series. State Police collared Martin Mc Cowen, a strappling six-footer who had access to Worthington's house and person during the time that she was killed. Mac Cowen collected garbage from Worthington's home. The...

As I said before. This building has changed. The elderly think the
disabled have no right to be in the building. This huge, fat guy who looks more like Yadda the Hut than any other human being sits in the lobby and asks nosy questions of anybody who passes him on their way into or out of the building. Another hugely fat girl who lied about my using two washing...

Myles Connor is a sixty-two year old career criminal who has spent
at least thirty years of his life in jail. The wonder is why they ever let him out of jail in the first or second place. He never goes anywhere without his trusty revolver in his pocket. He and his girlfriend's brother were arrested Thursday night with $900 worth of watches stolen from a Natick...
