Herald Reader Defends Scalia's Rear Flank

Not infrequently, when the Globe fails to satisfy Bostonist's need for up-to-date local reporting, good sports coverage, or unabashedly biased and inadvertently hilarious journalism, we turn to the Herald. Today was such a day, although what drove us from the Globe this time was actually too much detail in a local story: call Bostonist sqeamish, but we don't want to know that when two Rottweilers attacked a ten-year-old in Brockton, they "tore flesh from his little legs." Luckily, the Herald came through with some levity on the web version of the op-ed page: In a teaser (pictured above) for one of the paper's "e-letters to the editor," one reader strongly objects to any attacks on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's rump. Bostonist is no fan of Scalia, but we must agree - his ass is simply unassailable.
