Bring back Barnicle.

That's what The Boston Globe should do: It should rehire Mike Barnicle.

It should get off its high moral horse, forgive and forget, and bring back the controversial columnist. It would put some life back into the troubled newspaper.

Supposedly when Barnicle—who later was hired by the Bos Herald—was forced to resign, the Herald’s Howie Carr was delighted (his heart felt like an alligator!) and chortled “Barnicle Resigns! Barnicle Resigns!” in the halls of WRKO.
