“If Mary Jo Kopechne had lived, she would be 64 years old.
Through his tireless work as a legislator,
(Sen. for Life) Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”

Speaking of the Globe writer Charlie Pierce, he just got caught in another lie.

Accuracy taking a toll on Globe scribe Pierce
By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa
Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Boring Broadsheet blowhard Charlie Pierce wrote an ode to the Mass. Turnpike’s toll-booth coin baskets in Sunday’s Boston Globe Magazine that might have been relevant - if the Pike hadn’t abolished them more than three years ago!

Pierce’s musings, under the headline, “Long Live Coins!,” celebrates the use of change at the toll booth. No Fast Lane transponders for this old coot.

Thusly we quote: “Coming up on the Allston tolls . . . I start doing improvised base 10 mathematics with whatever change is lying around on the front seat of the car. While paper money is easier, the coins enable me to sail up to the toll basket like the genuine Dr. J.

“Occasionally,”’ Pierce continues, “I even throw the basket a head fake.” “Fake” is the operative word here since, according to Turnpike spokesguy Jon Carlisle, the exact change baskets are no more.

“The last 18 were removed in August of 2003,” he told the Track. . . . "I don’t know many people that are carrying a dozen or more quarters in their pocket who use the system,” the former Pike chairman said at the time.

Obviously, Matt didn’t know Charlie. "

How much do you want to wager that this scribe has never even driven through a toll both? The Globe staff is full of hate America first, trust fund babies who live in the back bay and think hardship is having to watch a Sox game in the bleachers with the great unwashed.
