    He makes a few good points, but I'm getting a little sick of this champion of the working man act. If you're going to have a parade, have it on a weekend, not when people have to go to work, he says. Cry me a river.
    Champion of the mouth-breathing moron is more like it.

    I'm still not entirely sure what his point was, other than the fact that he hates Boston's sports fans.

    I want my three minutes back.

    Can you really blame anyone who hates Boston sports fans?

    Trying to take a unique spin on the Celtics' win I see. What a shock...it's coming from the Herald.

    Howie Carr...croak already.

    One of the reader comments said that he was writing for everyone who worked and stayed sober on Thursday.
    I worked and stayed sober on Thursday and he didn't speak for me.
    I am so sick of his I'm-standing-up-for-the-working-man act and the working men who buy it.

    Ladies and gentlemen, Merle Haggard:

    It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
    I been a workin' man dang near all my life
    I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
    I'll drink my beer in a tavern,
    Sing a little bit of these working man blues

    I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
    Might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
    But I'll go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
    I'll drink a little beer that evening,
    Sing a little bit of these working man blues

    Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
    I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
    Cause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
    I drink a little beer in a tavern
    Sing a little bit of these working man blues

    Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin around
    I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
    But I go back working I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
    Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
    Cry a little bit of these working man blues

    Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
    I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
    Cause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
    I drink a little beer in a tavern
    Sing a little bit of these working man blues
    Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
    Cry a little bit of these working man blues

    Any time the city of Boston has a collective celebration where hundreds of thousands of people have a good time, Howie dumps on it. He's been doing it for 30 years. It's tired schtick, which is what happens when you're a talk radio host appealing to the ought-to-be institutionalized.

    Chances are Howie doesn't go off like this if either Brian Scalabrine or Scott Pollard got a moment of court time in the Finals.
