Who invited common sense to the argument?

The members of the MDAA apparently suffer from the delusion that our current drug prohibition actually keeps people from using drugs ("Pot's Shot," 7.2.08). I have yet to see any evidence that drug prohibition keeps anybody from doing anything, though I have seen massive amounts evidence that prohibition exacerbates the harmful effects of drugs on people's lives and contributes greatly to the suffering drugs cause to individuals and to society as a whole.

Um, actually, it was "cockface." Way to read the review.

If only graffiti had spell-check

I found this (Bean Counter, 7.2.08) completely hilarious.

Racking them up.

I'm sure you are aware that Menino's best friend for life Ed Jesser is married to a woman named Connie Kastelnik, who happens to be the rep here in Boston for WALL USA [the company that has a 20-year contract with the city for street furniture, including newscondos, as mentioned in the News to Us, 6.11.08—Ed.]. Small world. The other item that had me laughing was the comment from Steve Murphy that the City Council was going to take a hard look at something. That would be a first.

Avid females!

Dear Mr. Wildman,

From your first sentence about "suffering numerous episodes of this uncompromisingly awful TV show to appease a previous girlfriend," we already knew you'd hate the Sex and the City (6.4.08) movie, so why were you sent to review it?

Public service announcement on grammar

Watch out! Exit pollster David Day can't spell. "You're music is incredible." Perhaps you could get YOUR editors to proofread, because YOU'RE becoming a disgrace to print media. (Did that help at all?)

By the way, when you do something daily into eternity, you do that thing every day. Two words. Everyday is an adjective. No?

When you interview people and listen to what they say, you need to write it down correctly. There's a good weekly.

Love you. Mean it. Bye.

Gated gardens

Great feature ("The Revolving Door," 5.14.08). The application to get a public garden in the Fens is a little ridiculous. It asks, "In the last five years, have you been convicted of a felony?" You've got to be kidding me. You can't have a garden if you're a criminal? "FGS does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, ethnic origin, religion or sexual orientation," but it does if you have a criminal record.

I guess that makes sense. Who KNOWS what kind of smack you could grow?

More like the War on Dud

Dear Dig,

Cara Bayles' "Packed Prisons" (feature, 5.7.08) gave readers a very clear answer as to how and why our prison system has become so vastly overcrowded: the War on Drugs.

Day #2 at Tales...

Day #1 at Tales...

By pinklady on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Began late with a perfect Pimm's Cup and breakfast at the Napoleon House. YUMMMM...If you've never had a Pimm's Cup do yourself a favor and check this cocktail out, especially if you happen to be in the quarter, near the Napoleon House. We also sampled a Roast Beef Po' Boy, since evidently the deep fried version we had the evening before just wasn't enough for us, and a Muffaletta, which comes portioned as a whole, half, and quarter sandwich. We ordered the quarter size, and it was still as big as my head.

 


Tales Pre-party

By pinklady on Wed, Jul 16, 2008 12:24 pm

Before dinner MiMi, Em, and I (Pink Lady) head down to the Carousel Bar for Vieux Carres and to meet up with Hanky Panky and Barbara West. The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.
