From a feature on a 736-square-foot house in Dedham to a magazine piece on McMansions, looks like the Globe has all the bases covered today.

John Keith, however, wonders what the big deal is with a 736-square-foot home, noting:

Arroyo: Rightwing media out to get me

By adamg - 7/15/10 - 5:23 pm

The not-yet-one-term at-large city councilor is already fundraising for next year's election, with a little help from the Herald. In a fundraising e-mail today, the Arroyo campaign dourly warns:

... Now he is under attack from the right wing media for keeping his promise to us. Their goal is obvious: stop Felix's momentum right now so that he does not win re-election in 2011. ...

The message doesn't specify which rightwing media are attacking him for what, but since Fox News has yet to take notice of Felix Sr.'s son, we're forced to conclude the missive refers to disdainful Herald coverage of his effort to get Boston to boycott businesses in Arizona (in the early edition, the Herald Photoshopped him onto the side of a milk carton because he wouldn't call them back).
