Remember Bush spending like a drunken sailor on stuff we really didn't need or need to do? Obama doubled down on that stupidity. The additional spending on two wars and the stimulus (which cost more than the 8 year Iraq war) are being considered as a BUDGETING BASELINE for the new spending...

Old guy that knows better tells clueless kids to get off his lawn I can completely tune out people that make blanket or baseless statements without any depth of supporting evidence; which when challenged, immediately demand volumes of evidence, which they will brush off if presented with, yet...

Ron, One thing I've learned over the years, being married to one, is that people like you, don't care so much about facts as you do empathy. I could write a very long well researched missive and you would dismiss it with some intellectually dishonest snark. Unlike my wife, I am not willing to...

Re: archBoston political trolling and genital wagging thread 2012 That statement is loaded with so much hypocrisy it isn't even funny. Enjoy your new senator. You might not hear from her again until the next election...

The building is an office annex not a medical building. Childrens is land banking several parcels in Brookline Village for medical facilities at a later date. Parking isn't an issue in the LMA unless you are a cheapskate looking for a below market rate meter. The hospitals have sufficient...
