Even a Broken Clock is Right Twice a Day

Being the "fair and balanced" person that I am, I give you this story from today's Boston Herald about Mayor Tom Menino doing something, yet again, "for the children".

There's a slight twist, though. This time, it actually is for the children. Well, that and taking the obviously politically correct path of action in the months leading up to an election.

But, hey, I'll throw him a bone when he earns it, regardless of any ulterior motives he might have.

Outraged Menino comes to the rescue

Mayor Thomas M. Menino lashed out at the Archdiocese of Boston yesterday, less than 24 hours after the church pushed a kindergarten graduation out of Our Lady of the Presentation School in Brighton.

Menino said he was "angry as blazes" at the move Wednesday night to shutter the school. Church officials changed the locks after catching wind of an alleged plan by some parents and students to occupy the building.

The mayor, who invited students to hold today's 6th-grade graduation at Faneuil Hall, said he was "disgusted" by the church's actions.
