Red Sox limp home in shame — 0-3 with Yanks

I don’t care if they are leading the league or by how many games, when you get swept by the Yankees you should concerned, very concerned, about the future.

There is plenty of season left.  The Red Sox need to do better than beat up on the teams with lower standings.  They have to show up and win some big games. 

With the Yankees, they only showed they know how to lose.

He Said, She Said — Sox v. Yankees

He said:

Game 1:  Johnny we miss ya!


She said:

Game 1:  Who cares about those kitties in Detroit. Great game tonight, tight, taut, Pettitte, Joba and Mo brought it home. Yanks 5, Sox 3.

(She being Monica Bay of The Common Scold fame.)

Craig: I’ve pled guilty — now I want a lawyer!

Senate Republican Larry Craig from Idaho is in trouble.  He has plea guilty to disorderly conduct for his actions as reported by an undercover policeman in an airport restroom.  If the officer is to be believed, Criag’s conduct goes beyone bad — it’s creepy. 

I mean really — a U.S. Senator trying to pick up strangers for sex in an airport bathroom?  You’ve got to be kidding.

And he thinks that by parading his wife out in front of the cameras and denying that he’s gay is going to save his career?  I don’t think so, Senator.

As a lawyer though, I like the fact that he’s retained an attorney AFTER entering his guilty plea.  This could open up a whole new opportunity for lawyers: representing folks after they’ve voluntarily pled guilty to charges.

Gonzales Resigns!

Like rats scurring off a sinking ship, President Bush is losing another of his long-time advisors.

This makes what — four leaders to get while the getting is good?

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, one the the architects of the war in Iraq war, resigned right after the November elections. Paul Wolfowitz — caught in an ethics quandry, agreed in May to step down as president of the World Bank.   Bush’s personal friend and top adviser Karl Rove bailed on the President earlier this month.  And now Attorney General Alberto Gonzales heads for safer waters.

Sheesh, you’d think there was something amiss at the White House, wouldn’t you?

Portland School Budget Is A Mess

When your budget is a mess — who you gonna call?  A lawyer, of course.

The Portland, Maine School Committee has a mess on its hands — a budget deficit of $2.5 million. 

It started out as $500,000 then grew to $1.7 million and now it’s $2.5 million.  The taxpayers are outraged, the School Committee says it’s not their fault and the School Finance Director Richard Paulson resigned on Monday.

Now the School Committee has voted unamiously to hire a lawyer (at a cost of perhaps $20,000) to investigate the causes of the deficit and issue a report within 30 days.

Um, excuse me?  Aren’t you folks supposed to have a handle on the budget and know why there are problems?  If you don’t, are you really doing your jobs?  It doesn’t take an outside expert to see that you’ve taken your eyes off the ball.

Meanwhile, the city’s finance staff will take over management of the school’s budget under an agreement worked out between the city manager and school Superintendent Mary Jo O’Connor.

O’Connor is delighted with the help.  She said, “It’s absolutely necessary at this point because it’s not my area of expertise.”

Duh!

A budget deficit of $2.5 million.  Yeah, I guess you could say it’s not your area of expertise all right.
