I can never keep 'em straight, is the Globe the Boston paper that’s more or less sane or wingnut cray-cray?

Globe = half sane. Herald = owned by News Corpse

Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful, and the Mars Corporation have a LOT to answer for, 45 years later. . .

Not entirely true; the Globe is half sane but, the Herald is no longer owned by News Corpse:

In February 1994, Murdoch’s News Corporation was forced to sell the paper, in order that its subsidiary Fox Television Stations could legally consummate its purchase of Fox affiliate WFXT (Channel 25) because Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy included language in an appropriations barring one company from owning a newspaper and television station in the same market.[11][12][13] Patrick J. Purcell, who was the publisher of the Boston Herald and a former News Corporation executive, purchased the Herald and established it as an independent newspaper. Several years later, Purcell would give the Herald a suburban presence it never had by purchasing the money-losing Community Newspaper Company from Fidelity Investments. Although the companies merged under the banner of Herald Media, Inc., the suburban papers maintained their distinct editorial and marketing identity.

After years of operating profits at Community Newspaper and losses at the Herald, Purcell in 2006 sold the suburban chain to newspaper conglomerate Liberty Group Publishing of Illinois, which soon after changed its name to GateHouse Media. The deal, which also saw GateHouse acquiring The Patriot Ledger and The Enterprise in south suburban Quincy and Brockton, netted $225 million for Purcell, who vowed to use the funds to clear the Herald’s debt and reinvest in the Paper.[14]

It comes in chocolate?

Hell no. I think the only reason it has any sort of popularity in Boston is due to it’s tabloid form of publication; easy to read while travelling on a bus or train.

meta editorial - memory improvement both for Republicans and those who don’t have their heads up their arses?

ok, but what does the elf have in his left hand?

Never, in all of history, has that term found better use.

No, see… it’s a chocolate Christmas tree. Santa is right there holding another butt plug Christmas tree. It’s a new thing.

  • sings chorus of “Have yourself… a very butt plug Christmas…”

The sane one, which is unfortunately behind a very tight pay wall.
