How to link to our posts

Someone in the comments asked us how to link to our posts. We use Blogger, which is absolutely free; your favorite blog entry program will also work (and even though we work with Windows, this can also be done in Mac and Linux).

1. Pick a post and click on it.
2. On the top of your web browser, there should be a bunch of text on top, beginning with http://onlyinboston2.blogspot.com. The entry should be also there.
3. Click the text, and all of it should be highlighted.
4. Right click, and then click COPY. Tip: Paste this entry into Wordpad or Notepad.
5. Write what you normally do, then select any text you wish.
6. Click the LINK button (in Blogspot it's right between the T with the color checkerboard and the left justify alignment). This will bring up the URL board.
7. Paste the link by right clicking and then clicking PASTE.
8. Publish...and you're all set!
9. Please tip your host.

Resist the Illegal Occupation in Vermont!

Bill O'Reilly wants the public to boycott Vermont for having a lenient judge letting off a molester off with a light sentence.

The Vermont media hates Bill O'Reilly's guts, telling him he doesn't know what he'd talking about, when in fact they're afraid if there really is an O'Reilly-led boycott, the tourist and skiing money goes out the window.

Maybe we shouldn't mention that Vermont is occupied by New York City's furthest of the far left, huh?

Tale of two health schemes

If you're a supporter of government-sponsored (aka single payor or universal) health care, or an opponent of government-sponsored (aka socialized medicine or HilaryCare) healthcare, please read this article, comparing and contrasting both systems.

Hint: "free" healthcare isn't free. It might be free when you get to the desk of a hospital, but it's paid by taxes - in Britain's case, those 17.5% Value Added Taxes contribute to their "free" healthcare.

Which UGGS bunnies had spray on tans?

The South End is Over hates UGGS worse than we do.

We have a brand-spanking new term for the wearer of UGGS...the UGGS bunny. Allow us to be stereotypical to what an UGGS bunny is...

1. Dirty blonde hair, put into an ugly, messy ponytail or strung through a metal barrette, with her bangs pulled back so severely you see her hair extensions.

2. A down jacket that drowns the woman in an unsightly swath of material.

3. A dark tan, a fake tan, or a ghastly white complexion.

4. Colored tights (tan pantyhose for the Back Bay Sloane Rangers) or bare legs

5. A denim skirt (the shorter and more ripped, the better)

6. A top-of-the-line cell phone glued to her ear, paid by mommy and daddy, carrying on a conversation about superficial things

Make Income Redistribution History, Parts OHN, THN, TRN, FRN and FHN*

You know him just by his voice - the voice that could take the hardest cheese on earth and grate it finely. It's the voice that could be heard from Riverside Station - all the way from Park Street.

He looks like he needs several hot showers, plus a delousing or three.

Yes, true believers, it's the "you got any spare change?" guy, the bane of police, VB from Fox 25's ultra-special friend, the man who receives coins just so people can get away from him as far as they can.

According to the Weekly Dig and the Metrowest Daily News, you won't hear voice for awhile - as Framingham's finest hauled him to jail for - what else? Asking for spare change - on Routes 126 and 135.

Funny thing is...your spare change is going right back to the Commonwealth. Why, you ask?

BECAUSE THE SPARE CHANGE GUY USES HIS SPARE CHANGE FOR THE LOTTERY!

And how do we know?

Because he's asked US for change in the stores that sell lottery tickets!

That's right, folks...your pity is being played like a fine violin by this scummy con man. Any time you see this con man, do NOT give him any money. Walk fast and get away from this scammer - and contact the nearest police officer.

If you see a person selling the Spare Change newspaper, however, they are legitimate and worthy of your spare change. At least it won't be spent on tonight's Cash Winfall.

The codes above represent $100, $200, $300, $400, and $500. We play the lottery once in a while, but we do it in moderation. That is, we don't pull the scams like this turd does do to get their lottery 'fix.'

And before the prudes out there start screaming about the lottery being a 'stupid' tax or go into your little white guilt 'people who can least afford it' spiel, remember that you also drop money whenever Madonna or a few celebrities snap their fingers to 'make poverty history,' yet you don't know that the 'stupid' tax these people participate in pays for your fire stations, schools, and other things. On the other hand, people have fallen under the spell of gambling and have sold everything short of their first born for that "one big hit." Our advice: a buck or two for a chance is fine, but if you do win anything, save it.
