CALL ME SNAKE

Yesterday there was something different about the Boston Globe. At first I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then it hit me. For the first time in more than a week, I didn’t have to avoid the first page to avoid seeing a nauseating picture of Mitt Romney. For the Globe, in its infinite wisdom, saw fit to run an interminable, 7-part series on “The Making of a Failed Presidential Candidate.” Only the Globe, in its infinite wisdom, didn’t call it that. They called it, I believe, “The Making of Mitt Romney.” I must confess that I am not exactly clear as to what they called it; I did not spend a second reading that article. Nor can I see how the Globe deemed him a subject worth two full pages and a column each day for an entire week. I guess the Globe is banking on him becoming the next president. Of course, if the Globe wins on that one, we all lose.
