Globies planned own wake, called it a rally

To all you silly-billies at the Globe - enough already with the groveling. Self-pity is not good box office. Stop weeping into your brandy Alexanders and start looking for a job - a real job.
I can imagine the signs at the rally - “In Barney Frank We Trust,” “Viva Fidel, Hugo y Teddy!” and of course, “Hands Off My Trust Fund.”
Outside, bowtied bumkissers will be chanting in unison, “Hey hey ho ho, Globe-a-phobia’s got to go.”
The Globe union is running buses up from Morrissey Boulevard, a wise move, considering that a lot of the blow-in Ivy League drifters they’ve hired over the past 15 years or so probably couldn’t find their way downtown on a bet, although I’m sure they’d do just fine in the Hamptons.
At the top of the rally press release is the seal of the Boston Newspaper Guild, which includes these puzzling words: “We built this newspaper.”
Is that really something to be bragging about - you built a newspaper that fell asleep for 20 years, printing nothing but left-wing claptrap and paeans to gay marriage while losing $50 million in 2008, and maybe as much as $85 million this year?
If you built that newspaper, then you richly deserve to be fired.
Now one of the Globe’s parrots, a gigolo named John Forbes Kerry, steps up and says, “It’s difficult to imagine Massachusetts without the Globe and I’m not going to try.”
That’s OK, Liveshot, I’ll try to imagine it enough for both of us. But hey, Liveshot’s rooting for the Globe for the same reason John Henry is. The only difference is, the Red Sox owner is candid about his own self-interest - he doesn’t want to lose that crew of sports-page homers who cheerlead for his team, any more than the corrupt Democrats at the State House want to lose their pom-pom wielding shills from the Globe.
You think I’m kidding? Check this out from the Globe in 2003:
“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”
That’s not journalism, that’s hagiography, which means, lives of the saints.
Sorry Globies, but your death throes are nothing less than the popping of a festering, pus-filled boil on the gluteus maximus of Massachusetts. To quote, Oscar Wilde, “It would take a heart of stone not to laugh.”
All these years, the Globe has been telling us how evil capitalism is. Now they really know. They were against corporate welfare - until now. They were for corporate democracy - except for their masters at The New York Times, where incompetent heirs filled up the newsrooms with their fellow clueless rich kids as they steered their dreary left-wing sheets right over the cliff.
My only regret is that Ray Shamie, Ed King, Dapper O’Neil and Jimmy Kelly didn’t live to see this day.
