Chip Reid and Helen Thomas made White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs squirm over the controlled process of President Obama ’ s recent town hall meeting. Both criticized a format where questions are screened beforehand. They have a very good point there. Bush was often criticized for limiting access to his rallies and events around the country. Only die-hard Bush supporters were let in to those gatherings. This is a page right out of the same political handbook. Preselected question are more stage play than town hall.

This should have been addressed already but let me atone for the slight: Al Franken is the newest US Senator from the great neighboring state of Minnesota. Though he won the election last November, the RNC/Norm Coleman/Tim Pawlenty held him hostage, not unlike the SLF did to Patty Hearst. They made the Minnesota Supreme Court rule 5-0 that Norm Coleman's challenge was bogus and now Minnesota has two Senators! A Mn-based paper distributed here had an ecstatic headline yesterday morning. You see, when the Constitution promises a state that it gets two Senators and then the Republican Party tries to only make them have one, there are some hard feelings. In honor of Al...

We decline to enforce a prohibition on class actions in a consumer contract where to do so would in effect sanction a waiver of the right to proceed in a class action under G.L. c. 93A. Allowing companies that do business in Massachusetts, with its strong commitment to consumer protection legislation, to insulate themselves from small value consumer claims creates the potential for countless customers to be without an effective method to vindicate their statutory rights, a result clearly at odds with our public policy.

On this particular morning, I walked up to the gate and saw that all the lights were already on and there were customers milling around the sales floor. After closer inspection, not just any customers were gracing my shop. It was like that painting “ Boulevard of Broken Dreams ”, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Humphry Bogart and new to this mix was Michael Jackson. I opened the front gate and asked what was going on, “ You ’ re all dead ” I said. Marilyn Monroe looked at me and said, “ So are you. ”

However, I can not wait to upgrade from my Blackberry Curve 8330 which has served its purpose but is quite quirky.

First of all, the president of the United States Soccer Federation - Sunil Gulati - has suggested that Beckham can expect to be booed when he returns to action on July 16 against New York Red Bulls. Then to stir the pot further, Beckham's teammate Landon Donovan (what a cool name that is) has basically said that the England international and all-round money-making machine is a bad colleague. "I can't even say he's a good team-mate any more... he wasn't committed." Donovan added, with regard to the upcoming game against New York: "Bench him. Just say,'We 're not going to play you, we don't think you 're committed'."

Montreal gets older and smaller. They trade for smurfish Scott Gomez and then sign 5 ′ 7 ” Brian Gionta. For the last 2 years Bob Gainey has claimed he was looking for a big number 1 center. Instead, he gets two Keebler elves. Go figure. Then they lose 27 year old Komisarek. To compensate they sign 34 year old behemoth Hal Gill and then Gainey overpays for smallish winger Mike Cammalleri. Maybe Gainey should contact Burke and learn how to formalize a plan and then stick to it. Have fun playing the Leafs and Bruins.

There was no story to “ Asteroids, ” no major graphic design, nothing at all that would lend itself to a feature film. As if the news that Universal wants to make the game into a film isn ’ t notable enough, it ’ s even more so when you hear that Universal had to compete in a four-studio bidding war to win the rights to the project. Three other studios were desperate to create a storyline and mythology for the triangle spaceship of “ Asteroids, ” but Universal won out and have assigned screenwriter Matthew Lopez (” Bedtime Stories ”) to do just that, with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura (” G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra ”) overseeing.

Big short term winners, long term losers. Chicago bolstered their lineup with the additions of Marian Hossa, John Madden and Tomas Kopecky. Hossa and Madden are upgrades over Havlat and Pahlsson, who each signed elsewhere, while Khabibulin signed with Edmonton and Matt Walker will be joining Matty-o in Tampa Bay. The reason they are long term losers is that Marian Hossa signed a 12 year deal! Combine this with the fact that Brian Campbell is locked up to ridiculous money until 2016, and they are going to have a terrible time trying to re-sign Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith when all three become free agents next summer! Clearly, someone will have to be moved for it to happen.
