Series of Tubes: Another Look at the Guardian Angels
--After a series of positive experiences, Urban Paramedic has reconsidered the Guardian Angels: "People may disagree over the value of Guardian Angel patrols, but they certainly deserve credit for believing in what they do."
--The Food Monkey has an epiphany thanks to Jacoby Ellsbury's winning a free taco for America.
--On Common Ground evaluates the Globe's choices for this year's Top 25 Most Stylish People and finds this year's list to be an improvement over last year's.
--Richips at b0st0n LiveJournal reports back on how the free-hug-fest near the Fred Phelps demonstrations went. Phelps didn't show (possibly because of the police), but much hugging ensued.
--You know it's campaign time when someone breaks out a freaking huge yard sign (via Blue Mass Group).

I think you may have read my blog too quickly.
"After a series of positive experiences," you say, "Urbanparamedic is rethinking the Guardian Angels."
What positive experiences are you referring to? I had only one experience with them, and it was decidedly negative. I "rethought" them only after they read about themselves in my blog and emailed me to explain their actions. I respect them now for their commitment to the community, but they earned this respect through a series of emails, not a "series of positive experiences," as you described.
