Slow news day

The great commuter race is the stuff of radio and television ratings weeks. Definitely not the gimmicky stuff that leads a great metropolitan daily newspaper. Right?

Wrong.

That swell Globe South feature which devours much of today's front page, much to the boredom and ennui of commuters from the north west and northwest -- many of whom don't have four commuting options. And did you guy forget about the bus? Driving to Braintree doesn't give the full exposure to commuting.

I can't wait for the Globe to commit this kind of personnel to riding the entire MBTA system, particularly taking a regular turn on Green Line (and the Boston College route) and see if the Breda car problems are solved as the T professes. But then again, Brian McGrory doesn't have a thing for the Green Line.

In the meantime, can I have a refund for today's paper too?
