Just sad:

A Boston firefighter is mending from what could have been deadly stab wounds he suffered early yesterday morning when he was allegedly jumped in East Boston while off duty by a group of Hispanic males who told him they “don’t want any gringo here.”

Though police are not classifying the incident as racially fueled, the Boston Police Department’s Community Disorders Unit is investigating.

Apparently, if you want to run an ad on NBC supporting & thanking our troops, your organization had better be one of the ones that aligns itself with NBC’s political agenda:

NBC has nixed holiday advertisements meant to thank troops for serving overseas in opposition to the inclusion of a non-profit’s Web address.

The ads, paid for by the non-profit Freedom’s Watch, are a simple thank you, the group says, with people shown paying gratitude to members of the military and the final frame showing the group’s Web address, www.freedomswatch.org.

I would say that I’d stop watching NBC, but then again they’d have to have programming interesting enough for me to watch in the first place.

Since NBC’s web site has a byzantine contact system, no easily available phone number, and no easy-to-get-to email address, drop a line to your local NBC affiliate. Or, if you happen to have NBC president John Eck’s personal email address, phone number, or fax number, post it in the comments.
