Thursday, February 2nd, 2006The Massachusetts gubernatorial race has been rocked over the past few days over the revelations that presumed Democrat frontrunner Tom Reilly’s handpicked running mate, Marie St. Fleur, is a tax delinquent. The revelation resulted in her dropping out just a day after she was picked. Adding to the drama, Deval Patrick, another gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats, revealed that he too, was a tax delinquent.
Now, this leads me to ask two questions… First, are the Democrats trying to keep the Massachusetts governorship in Republicans hands? And second, do Massachusetts Democrats ever pay their taxes?
Another Example of High-Quality Reporting from the AP
Thursday, February 2nd, 2006I couldn’t believe it when I found a story headlined, “Woman Eats 26 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches” on the AP wires… Why is this news?
A 100-pound woman ate 26 grilled cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes Wednesday at a New York restaurant, winning the World Grilled Cheese Eating Championship.
Sonya Thomas won $8,000 for the contest at the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Times Square but said she was disappointed in her performance.
I don’t know what’s more ridiculous, the fact that there is such a thing as the World Grilled Cheese Eating Championship, the fact that the winner gets $8,000, or the fact that the Associated Press found this newsworthy.
