I was thinking of getting my Dad The Brothers Bulger but I didn't think he'd like it, since he's on the lib side and prob. hates Howie. One of my brothers got it for him, though, the audiobook version. My dad will be 86 next month and is having trouble seeing (cataract operation on the way). I showed my Dad how to work a portable CD player so he could hear the book --"those buttons are so small, the 'play' one and the 'stop' one; can't they just have a big huge green button and a big red one?"
He also objected to the book's title, the 'terrorized' part. After all, Billy Bulger's a good Democrat, right? 'It makes it seem like he was a part of it.' Just read, er, listen to the book on CD, Dad, and you'll find out...
Howies guest hosts are enough to make me flip on NPR.
Even it howie's in tomorrow, I kinda doubt he'll want to do the death pool the day of Jerry Ford's funeral.
I have to figure it won't get done till Wednsday.
