Movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn once famously said of preachy movies, "If you want to send a message, call Western Union.". Well, Western Union is now out of the telegram business, so the Celtics had to send a message to Detroit some other way, playing stifling defense, fundamental offense, and grinding out a win that - well, that sends the message - that they just might actually be the best team in the East. Everybody chipped......

After the tiger attack and ensuing chaos at the San Francisco Zoo, here's some good zoo news, for a change. The New England Aquarium is welcoming many new arrivals. An anaconda celebrated the new year by giving birth to 14 little ones. WBZ explains how anaconda-birthing works: The pregnant 16-foot anaconda finished giving birth to all 14 babies around 5 a.m. Tuesday. While most snakes lay external eggs, anaconda eggs remains inside the mother's body......

We're not the biggest Japanese-movie-monster buffs in the world, but we honestly can't remember an entry in the series when the monster got to go home early because Tokyo didn't even make a token effort to defend itself. But Ghidorah was sent to the bench early last night; the "Big Three" were no longer needed amid the Celtics' utter annihilation of the listless Knicks last night. It was a 23-point lead at halftime, and when......

The sweet strains of Sir Mix-a-Lot immediately popped in our heads upon hearing the word that Kathleen the anaconda might be knocked up. The New England Aquarium performed an ultrasound, but the results were inconclusive, so a vet will keep watching her. You can watch the Aquarium's footage of Kathleen getting her ultrasound over at the Aquarium site. Kathleen and another female anaconda share space with a male anaconda who must be quite the babydaddy......

Former Massachusetts governor and current presidential aspirant Mitt Romney has been pumping his campaign coffers with his own cash since he's fallen short of his fundraising goals. To rub Romney's nose in it even further, Rudy Giuliani raised more money in the second quarter, $15 million to Romney's $14 million. The AP reported that Romney wound up giving his own campaign $6.5 million dollars. The money spent might have paid off, as more people......

We're wondering if Romney asks a higher power to smite his enemies. Rudy Giuliani's campaign stoked Mormon Fear by sending out a release linking the Mormon's candidacy to a weird prophecy about a Mormon riding in on a white horse. During the Republican debate, lightning struck and cut out the sound while Giuliani was speaking. The photo above shows Romney aiming a finger at Giuliani 'cuz he probably thought the Lord was pulling through.......

The complete game is a dying art in the States. In the age of relief specialists, managers tied to pitch counts, and Papelbon, there aren't a lot of occasions when a manager wants to leave his starter in any longer than necessary. And last night, in fact, Papelbon was warming up when the Sox blew the game open in the 8th, taking a 7-1 lead and giving Terry Francona an excuse to leave Daisuke in......

Boston, along with numerous other cities including; Detroit, Cleveland, Newark, DC, New York City and Philly, honored Rosa Parks by leaving a bus seat empty on each of the city's buses to commemorate her heroic act in 1955 of refusing to give up her seat to a white man. Ms. Parks recently passed away, and just today President Bush announced that a statue would be erected in her honor at the National Statuary Hall in......
