From one unemployed person to another
By adamg - 12/2/08 - 8:22 pmNewly unemployed scribe Amy Derjue writes she feels Matt Amorello's pain:
... Keep fighting the good fight, Matt. I'll see you on the bread lines. ...
Meanwhile, Jenn, also a newly unemployed scribe, goes on trip to the Museum of Science with her father and her son and ponders the new triceratops:
... The kid poses, only somewhat reluctantly, by Cliff the triceratops, one of the last remnants of a species that once ruled the earth.
Lately, I've been wondering if I should just hop on a podium alongside him.
Like a bad penny, Matt Amorello is back
By adamg - 9/27/06 - 7:35 pmWayne Braverman can't believe the Mass. Horticultural Society will be giving Matt Amorello a gold medal on Oct. 12:
... For anyone to be honoring that vile, horrid symbol of all that is wrong with the state’s authorities is a disgrace. The only honor that Amorello deserves is that of repaying the giant pile of money he didn't earn or deserve.
Forget Amorello, what about Bechtel?
By adamg - 8/20/06 - 9:18 pmThe Outraged Liberal reads today's Globe article on Bechtel's apparent non-concern about I-90 connector bolts and concludes: Looks like Mitt Romney got the wrong scalp:
... Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff, the well-connected management company designed to oversee the project opted to save money rather than push for safety. Under the oversight of Kerasiotes. And Cellucci.
What say you Mitt? Ready to keep the heat on and find the culprits? Or are you too busy kissing Trent Lott's backside while busting Michael Dukakis?
Dan Kennedy notes that the article points out how unique the concrete-slab construction was and that the story:
[R]aises the distinct possibility that the fatal accident of July 10 wasn't just the result of incompetent workmanship but also of a deeply flawed design.

One down ...
By adamg - 7/28/06 - 9:48 amMatt Amorello's resignation will not solve the Big Dig's problems, Charley writes:
... So for all the glee about Amorello's departure, let's not forget that he didn't create the problems we're dealing with now. He merely threw up his hands and hoped for the best ... much like a certain governor, legislature, and state enforcement bureaucracy. ...
WRKO blabmeister suspended over Big Dig comments
By adamg - 7/19/06 - 9:09 amJohn DePetro has 72 hours to sit in a corner for calling Matt Amorello a fag and a sissy boy.
David on Blue Mass Group: Hey, guess what John? You're an asshole. And no one can suspend me for saying so.
Aaron Margolis begs to differ:
... Shame on WRKO for caving in, and having such a spineless policy. Go screw, you bunch of sissies. ...
Matt Amorello on notice
By adamg - 7/18/06 - 4:19 pmKimberly Atkins has the details of Romney's formal effort to remove Matt Amorello from office - which also includes a suit by three Romney appointees to the turnpike board against Amorello.
Spatch: Romney to Amorello: It's on, bitch:
... Too bad A. Romney's looking right into the eyes of 2008 when he bares his teeth, and B. someone had to die for the shakeup (shakedown?) to happen.
