popular thinking

You may have stopped by last week and noticed little in the way of new posts here. Hopefully, you've clicked around the tabs above -- particularly the Jokers Wild and Boston Herald tabs -- to see what I've been writing. While I seemingly have slacked off here, I have been posting regularly on the Jokers Wild blog, and the Herald's interactive people also added a new feature on most stories: A handy link to recent articles by that reporter. It looks something like this. Here is a recap of my recent Herald handiwork, looking back from today (links available)...
