metro mike: May 2005
http://mennonno.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Read freelance writer Mike Mennonno's weekly "My View" columns from the Boston Metro, and more. Monday, May 23, 2005. After kindly fetching me my third, D. smiled and said, not so bad after all, eh? Keep ‘em coming, I told him. After three drinks I didn’t hate everyone in the room anymore, but I still disliked the vast majority intensely. D. looked at me with a mixture of mild surprise and pity. Mike, he said, you’re having rich rage. South Africa circa 1979? Is this the express to Sun City? It sometimes...

T-rage!: JFK-Park/Copley-JFK
http://t-rage.blogspot.com/2005/11/jfk-parkcopley-jfk.html
Share the despair - come rage against the T with me! I saw Tilda Swinton c. Sitting with Klaus Kinskey c. Aguira, the Wrath of God. This morning on the train! You know how Tilda's got those kinda buggy eyes, she kept bugging 'em out on me. I mean, I was transfixed. I'm afraid I was even staring. But who wouldn't be? Speaking of heavy. I have just finished George Steiner's. In Bluebeard's Castle: Towards a Redefinition of Culture. Of course, it's human nature. I have been in situations where there were th...

T-rage!: A polite "hello" from South Beach
http://t-rage.blogspot.com/2005/12/polite-hello-from-south-beach.html
Share the despair - come rage against the T with me! A polite "hello" from South Beach. I'm the damned expert and I'm sick and tired of it! Now get the hell out of my way! The larger problem in this city is the air of entitlement and exceptionalism you find everywhere. Bostonians aren't gracious on the whole, because status so dictates social interaction here. Everybody is clawing to get to the top of the heap in every little interaction on the street. This street is more mine than yours! All were rude t...

metro mike: January 2005
http://mennonno.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Read freelance writer Mike Mennonno's weekly "My View" columns from the Boston Metro, and more. Tuesday, January 25, 2005. The poet William Carlos Williams once wrote: It is difficult/to get the news from poems/yet men die miserably every day/for lack/of what is found there. Last week we heard some glorious poetry from our eloquent commander-and-frontier-poet-in-chief on the occasion of his second inaugural that turned Williams’ assertion on its head. This President don’t need no stinking laureate! I mea...

metro mike: July 2005
http://mennonno.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Read freelance writer Mike Mennonno's weekly "My View" columns from the Boston Metro, and more. Monday, July 25, 2005. Will the Plame affair turn into another Watergate, then, forcing the President to step down or face impeachment? Creating a panic and clearing the house, but leaving the players onstage unscathed, to have the last laugh. Posted by mmennonno at 7:41 AM. Monday, July 18, 2005. What did you say? Posted by mmennonno at 7:39 AM. Tuesday, July 12, 2005. Posted by mmennonno at 7:38 AM. There’s ...

T-rage!: JFK-Arlington/Downtown Xing-JFK
http://t-rage.blogspot.com/2005/12/jfk-arlingtondowntown-xing-jfk.html
Share the despair - come rage against the T with me! Yesterday morning gets my vote as nastiest day of the season so far (it'll soon be superseded, I have no doubt). Sheets of icy rain are worse than snow, in my humble opinion. The wetness was such that it made the parts of you that weren't wet feel wet, like there was really no earthly possibility of drying out- ever. It comes from human exhalations! Makes me shiver just thinking about it. Check out Richard Sutherland's choppers! Anyway, Rita was so con...

T-rage!: JFK-Park-Hynes/Mass Ave-Downtown Xing-JFK
http://t-rage.blogspot.com/2005/12/jfk-park-hynesmass-ave-downtown-xing.html
Share the despair - come rage against the T with me! The first real snow of the season today. Now the fun begins! Should I sing "Jingle Bells" at the top of my voice, with the naughty lyrics (e.g., "Santa smells/Rudolph ran away.")? Should I rip a whole handful of those informational cards off the Bunker Hill Community College poster, and fill them in with silly names (e.g., George Bush, Jesus, Ayn Rand) and then toss them up in the air with a guffaw? I knew I only had two stops to make up my mind.
