Fighting finches freed

Channel 4 reports officials broke up what they said was a bird-fighting ring run out of an Ashland resident's basement. Authorities say they rescued 50 battle-hardened finches. Wait, what? Finches? Yes, with sharpened beaks, the better to gore their opponents to death.

The video was totally lame.

The video was totally lame. You can see this behavior any time in bars near last call.

When Paul Kix writes the story for "Boston Magazine"..

will Ashland be described as "well to do" and it's neighbor Framingham be described as being filled with "bodegas and dive bars"? Just wondering.
