-- Thanks, Amy Bishop, for putting Boston back into the crazy crime spotlight. [Media Nation]

-- Various blogs have called her a socialist, a dysfunctional Jew, a racist, a far left extremist, and (egad!) an unhinged, Harvard-educated, liberal professor. [Too many to list]

-- Believe it or not, prostitutes are still meeting Craigslist "clients" at the same hotel of the "Craigslist killer" met his victim. [Boston Herald]

-- On the list of sexiest Presidents, we think JFK should've topped Teddy Roosevelt. [Nerve]

-- After this beer blog gets about 685 more Twitter followers, one of them will win a Google Nexus One phone. [The Best Beer Blog]

-- If you don't have a job, there is plenty of time to compare the unemployment rates towns across the state on an online map. [Boston Globe]

-- While looking for information about our cancelled flight, we found this radar map for Logan Airport. [AirportMonitor]

-- Random laugh link: Be careful what you wear on Chat Roulette, because people will share ridiculous screenshots (NSFW). [BuzzFeed]

    You should be all over the Amy Bishop story. You should be gleefully kicking the crap out of everyone involved. You should be bothering Delahunt's office with phine calls. Or? Did his office already call your boss?

    No one called me. I personally don't post much about crime stories, although she is a wacko that seems to have gotten away with murder in the past.

    I don't know the protocol (or watch shows like "Law & Order"), so I don't know what a DA like Delahunt should do after the police tells him their investigation determines there was an accident in '86.
