What if the Boston Globe were Relevant?

There I was, minding my own business, scrolling down the homepage of boston.com, as I do every morning for a good laugh, when I came across an article, if you can call it that, that epitomizes the Boston Globe. The link on the boston.com home page is called, What if everyone told the truth? It caught my attention because of its blatent hypocracy so I clicked on it and, alas, was subjected to Alex Beam's musings on the current state of things. Only the hypocrites at the Boston Globe would publish an article about truth telling yet fail to do so themselves. The irony of it is, is that the article isn't even about telling the truth, it is a diatribe of little wishes and dare I say agenda driven bullshit.

Alex Beam, like every other liberal at the Boston Globe, thinks Americans are stupid and that his insights into the NCAA, John McCain, and Iraq are thoughtful and insightful when in reality they are narrow and contrived. Now usually I don't let the nitwits at the Boston Globe upset me, but Alex Beam's column, filled with inaccuracies, poor fact checking, and blatent bias riled me up enough for me to post (something I haven't done in a while).

Alex, suppose companies did decide to cap their earnings at $100 million. We could call it communism.
Alex, suppose you do some research about NCAA colleges and find out that their student athletes do have to demonstrate a 10th grade reading level. We could call it Boston College.
Alex, suppose one day you wake up and realize that the only incapacitated president in the last twenty years was Bill Clinton, and that thinking someone's age can be factored as a requirement for a job is a lot like thinking someone's race can.
Alex, suppose you apologize to the hundreds of families of New England soldiers in Iraq for your lack of support and start acknowledging the accomplishments of the military instead of saying their deaths were in vain.
Alex, suppose we conjure up a day when the Boston Globe actually writes something of consequence or importance instead of writing about "what if's."

Wishful thinking!
