How spoiled have we become here in the city of Boston? So spoiled that in the nine days since the Boston Red Sox were eliminated from the playoffs (in the seventh game of the American League Championship Series, ensuring that they were no worse than the fourth best team in the world) we have seen the New England Patriots win twice and tonight will watch the Boston Celtics raise their 17th world championship banner to the rafters of the, ahem, Boston Garden--the sixth such ceremony we have witnessed here since February of 2002.
Three Super Bowl championships for the Pats.
Two World Series titles for the Sox.
Banner number 17.
Bob Ryan is right. These really are the good old days. Never lose sight of that.

Come aboard. We're expecting you.
Welcome home. Here we (henceforth to be understood and taken as the Royal We) believe that you can't make sense out of nonsense. With that in mind, you should never let the facts get in the way of a good story. And we won't. We also believe that if you voted for Bush then the last eight years are your fault, but if you voted for Hillary anytime after Super Tuesday then the next four just might be yours. We have a very liberal policy on pants in that they are entirely optional and not at all encouraged. Sometimes we blog slow and sometimes we blog quick. Join me, will you not?
A meandering journey through whatever happens to be on my mind at any given moment. Armchair political commentary, semi-informed sports observations, and the occasional play at humor. Basically, if you don't expect too much then you won't be let down. It's just that simple.
