It's 8:30 am on a very crowded MBTA subway car. Goof: Excuse me. Ho: Hmph. (Ignores.) Goof: I'd like to sit there. Ho: Excuse me? Goof: I'd like to sit there. (Pantomimes a lame threat to sit on the seat occupied by the ho's huge Louis Vuitton bag.) Ho: Ex-cy-use me! (Dramatically moves the bag, exuding pure hatred.) Goof: (From his seat, gloating) Welcome to the T! Ho: Your bref stinks. Ho: Hmph. 'Welcome......

Gawker might be interested in a recent front-page article by the Globe about the South Bay Center, the big ol' mall that is apparently a crossroads of class conflict.

It's rare when we get to cross into Matt Taibbi turf, but Celtic Sebastian Telfair's gun-and-speeding charge allows us to do so. The Redux has already pointed out that Telfair didn't get the memo when he was busted for packing heat in 2006.
