Republican presidential candidate and Internet sensation Ron Paul doesn't need Oprah. He doesn't need connections to the hot-shot politicians. He just needs a blimp. Ron Paul's supporters are sending up a blimp for an East Coast tour from North Carolina, through DC and New York, to Boston. According to the flight plan on the Ron Paul Blimp site, the balloon will launch Wednesday in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and then travels north, flying over...

--Someone made a big mistake on Sunday by letting a sexual assault suspect go to the hospital without supervision. Police recaptured Edwardo Aponte of Dorchester this morning, but the incident makes us wonder what the BPD supervisor on duty was thinking. On Sunday, Aponte said he was sick, went to New England Medical Center in an ambulance, and walked out. Isn't that the oldest trick in the book? Even the characters of Comedy Central's Halfway...

--Bob Hayden - a retired Boston police officer, former Lawrence police chief, and grandpa - had to deal with some schmucks on his plane from Minnesota to Massachusetts on Saturday night. A man started to fake some sort of fit after takeoff. Flight attendants got him back into his seat, where he started yelling. Then another guy - who turned out to be the screamer's brother - joined in with a fit. Hayden, the flight...

--Next time you think about getting a free pizza by holding up your delivery guy, think again. On Sunday night, the BPD followed a Domino's Pizza guy from South Boston to a Dorchester address that was known for robbing pizza guys. Upon delivery, a man emerged to get his pizza and pulled a firearm from his waistband. Police sprang out and caught the pizza-nabber and his accomplice. We send propers to Universal Hub for an...

There’s something about the AM dial. It remains an important medium for all sorts of talk radio and sports, but still gets fuzzy anytime you’re too close to power lines or transformers. Even the MP3 players that include a radio tuner don’t include AM, it’s all frequency modulation, all the time. But for the faithful of the amplitude a new, old, familiar voice will be taking the airwaves in mid-February. On Sunday the Herald told us to hold our breath. Today we can exhale as the deal has been sealed. The artist formerly known as Mr. Speaker will be taking over the 6 to 10 am morning show on AM 680 WRKO. You may now know him now as Justice Obstructer #1 Tommy Finneran.

On Sunday afternoon, things didn't start spectacularly for the New England Patriots, but they sure did end that way. The Pats prevailed in Foxboro yesterday in front of a full house at Gillette Stadium by the score of 19-17. The Pats season started in what looked to be a disastrous manner. The season's first play for the Pats was not what Pats fans had envisioned for the inaugural play of the 2006 campaign. On...

Harvard Square is hosting the Arts First/Mayfair Festival, while Somerville steps up with a massive collection of Open Studios. Who will win in a battle that pits aesthetes against…more aesthetes? Of course Bostonist will be in both places to observe the battle for best arts fair. Here’s a preview.

Living in the cradle of the Revolutionary War that is Boston, we are often called upon to take note of important historical dates. Usually, we do this by taking a day off from work, which we frequently accompany with heavy drinking. This weekend, however, in honor of the 232nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, it's all history and no holidays or boozing it up: On Sunday at 5:30 p.m., the Old South Meeting...

So many monikers, which one fits best? Tom Terrific? Touchdown Tommy? THE Consummate Champion? Anyone who witnessed the masterpiece that New England's Tom Brady orchestrated on Sunday afternoon at the Georgia Dome versus the Atlanta Falcons could choose any of the above to label the 2-time Super Bowl MVP, who led the Champions to a 31-28 victory. Brady's performance, which included 350 yards passing, 3 touchdown tosses, and 22-27 passing with only a single blemish...

With the a Boston Film Festival going on this week Bostonist is on the lookout for anything that might give respite from the usual summertime fare at one of the local megaplexes. There are only so many indie films one can see at the Kendall, Coolidge or Harvard theaters without longing for the more comfortable seats at the Loews Boston Common.

The weekend forecast is a bit troubling with the constant fear of rain being touted by every forecaster in Boston. Unfortunately, there are a lot of outdoor events going on this weekend. Bostonist has rounded up a list of them (with the big disclaimer: weather permitting)

For almost two weeks Boston Herald employees have been wearing little black ribbons in a show of solidarity trying to keep their jobs. This weekend the Herald announced that they would be scraping the Barnicles off the ship in order to save some money. To hit the $7 million budget reduction the paper’s top brass proposed a one-quarter staff reduction, Bostonist has gotten word that the Newspaper Guild says agreement has been reached and a public announcement is expected soon. While we’re all trying to read the tea leaves Bostonist has a suggestion for the Herald: go free. For fifty cents we can buy the Globe, so why choose the Herald? Because of the hard hitting stories about Britney’s baby? Perhaps it’s the flashy pictures of beautiful people? Maybe it’s just the contrast of conservative viewpoints with sexy girls gone wild.

Okay, Bostonist has never been one to have any interest in attending a flower show...lots of flowers, lots of older people, lots of boredom. But perhaps with the recent slamming of awful weather on the city, or the boredom of watching MTV all weekend, the New England Flower Show might just be the brightening up that Bostonist needs. Starting this Sunday, March 13th at the Bayside Expo and running thru Saturday, March 19th, this annual...
