2. it's for the Red Sox parade
The Red Sox are parading through the main downtown streets (Boylston, Tremont, Cambridge streets), into the Charles River, then will go along the Charles River. (They will be in amphibious "duck" vehicles commonly used here for tourists)

3. they came from Florida, Maine, Ohio, California, Massachusetts
local news interviewing people from all over the country. why are they here?

Today is the parade for the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. one guy flew in from Minnesota with his 80 year old father to be a part of it.

86 years of heartache is an awfully long time

13. That was my reaction too
Sorry others jumped on you. I personally get very irritated that people I know can tell me detailed statistics on how their favorite baseball/football/basketball teams are doing, or what Britney/Jessica/whatever is up to- yet they don't know that the repubs in this state tried to implement a 20% sales tax in the last session. Glad to know they're focused on the things that truly impact their everyday lives. :eyes:


I am happy that many people are well informed on a number of subjects, entertainment and sports included. We should all try to be well rounded. I'm talking about the people who are like the young woman I know who didn't even know that there IS an election on Tuesday. But she knew everything you could want to know about the Astros' playoffs...

16. Um, HE was the one who
introduced politics into the situation. He was the one who urged people to vote for Shrub, giving him free ad time reaching how many people?


I'm not saying that he didn't have the right to do this. I'm just saying that we have the right to ask him why he hasn't enlisted in response. :-)

18. I agree he performed heroically, but
mixing politics with sports was bad form, especially so close to an election where the country is deeply divided.
