The Romney and Obama campaigns, mirror-image juggernauts, eye each other warily. “Big, disciplined, and ruthlessly efficient.”
TV Buzz Unfortunately, it won’t star the funny ladies who made the popular Bravo spoof on YouTube. TLC has ordered “Southie Pride” (working title) from SallyAnn Salsano (creator of “Jersey Shore”) and though the five women the series will revolve around have not yet been cast, camera crews were on location over the weekend to capture all of the Super Bowl action.
Daily Beast is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Daily Beast.
Politics Buzz Riot police descended on the Boston branch of the Occupy Wall Street Protest the night of October 10th, arresting more than 100 demonstrators, among them, the group Veterans For Peace. The live stream is down, and even media are being ordered to evacuate.
Culture Buzz Peggy O'Neil's, a Dorchester Pub, is under fire from Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley who has filed charges against the establishment. The details of the allegations are strange and seemingly out of the 1950s.
A roving reporter visits Cirque Eloize in Boston and lets a trial bike rider use him for some stunt work. I wouldn’t.
Culture Buzz Notorious Boston mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger was arrested in Santa Monica, California after 16 years of living life as a fugitive. The arrest comes just days after the FBI began advertising on daytime television shows such as The View and Dr. Phil. The 81-year-old Bulger is connected to at least 19 murders. He is perhaps best known in pop culture as the inspiration for Jack Nicholson's character in “The Departed.”
Politics Buzz When Palins collide! Palin Prime meets celebrity impersonator Cecilia Thompson in Boston. I think we're looking at the GOP ticket for 2012.
Sports Buzz “This is what we call clownin' folks!” says local sports commentator guy. This is also the type of stunt that might get you a forearm shiver from Andrew Bynum in the NBA.
This is adorable. During the broadcast of a Cleveland Indians/Boston Red Sox game, a couple of guys casually kiss each other in front of a reporter. The best part is the awkward reaction of the obviously uncomfortable commentators in the booth.

Accents thicker than a juicy faht.
This fight at a Denny's in Chicopee, Massachusetts erupted when a woman asked the table next to her if she could borrow the syrup. The response to the query: “Bitch, your pancakes look fine to me.” Hell soon followed.
Sports Buzz A recently unearthed death threat against Red Sox pitcher Joe Wood from 1912. Wood was having a stellar season that year and the scoundrels who typed this letter were apparently trying to knock him off his game with typos. It's strangely comforting to see that trolls haven't gotten any better at spelling in almost a century.
Ted Williams, The Splendid Splinter. Did you know that before he was a golden piped hobo, Ted Williams had his head cryogenically frozen to a can of tuna? This is what the internet has done to our history.
This is hilarious - see if you can spot the erratic lighting pattern that gave thousands of passing Red Sox fans a collective aneurysm.

A half-finished Filene's in Boston may be turned into a building to harbor algae for Bio-Fuel. Is it a transformer?
A group of MIT students climbed up the scaffolding of the campus' “Great Dome” (which looks like music bars) and installed seven notes. Those noted are the first seven notes of Rick Astley's “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
