BNN.. Wednesday: Top Stories

This will be the last "new" Boston News Net video until the next season starts sometime this fall. Fear not, BNN Mondays fans, there are plenty of videos in the archives to keep us amused until then.

This week, we have the final "Top Stories" segment of the week, covering Clark Rockefeller, Gillette's new ad campaign, and fistfights in Revere.

BNN Mondays: Grilling with Ripps

I kept my promise to myself that I would stay out of my office most of the holiday today, so BNN Mondays is coming a bit late. But it's still really helpful --- Ripps McCoxen tells you how to grill like a man and threaten your meat.

BNN Mondays: Joan Stone's Ode to Choice, or Motherhood, or Trees, or Whatever

Since the abortion debate was raging over this past week, and BNN was participating in the Women in Comedy Festival, they chose to close the show this week with special guest singer/songwriter Joan Stone singing "Sycamore Tree," which is an ode. Possibly to several things. If folk fans look closely (or maybe not so closely), they may recognize the face behind Joan Stone.

BNN Mondays: Manny is innocent!

Many in Boston were no doubt upset to hear of Manny Ramirez's positive drug test last week, and the possible implication that he may have been using illegal substances while he was with the Red Sox. Well, those fans can rest easy now, because Boston News Net's Sporticus has the most inside of inside information clearing Manny. Sporticus reports this week from inside Manny's bloodstream. And while he did find a lot of unusual stuff, he didn't find any human chorionic gonadotropin. I'd explain what that is, but there's no time.

BNN Mondays: Billy Bob Neck Teabags Again

Billy Bob Neck really loves teabagging. It's important to him as a protest against liberal fascism. And he's disappointed in all of you who didn't teabag on tax day. Brings tears to the eye. Really. *sniff* Mine eyes have seen the glory, courtesy of Boston News Net.

BNN Mondays: Quentin James Talks Baby

Sometimes, babies can be irresponsible. They fall out of windows, and adult are expected to just catch them and save them. That makes Quentin James angry.

BNN Mondays: Bobby Smithney and Saturday Delivery

Boston News Net regular Bobby Smithney mourns the current state of the postal service, and tries to eat a hamburger in one second. It does tie together, I promise. You'll have to watch to see.

BNN Mondays: Harry Gordon Hopes Obama Fails, and St. Patty's Day

Boston News Net did not televise Saturday's show, so we have a couple of clips from the recent and not as recent past. First, Harry Gordon goes Limbaugh and explains why he hopes President Obama fails, and explains why that has nothing at all to do with economics. At all. He promises.



Plus, the weather report from last St. Patty's Day. Apparently, it was mostly "Blargh."

BNN Mondays: Valentine's Day with Boston News Net

This week, another bonus helping of Boston News Net videos from their Valentine's Day show. We start with Street Smarz with Kristina Smarz, who went looking for love on the streets of Boston. Bostonians gave lots of advice, but no actual love (unless you count "number eight"). Since she came up empty, Smarz is looking for more advice on how to find love, and will take suggestions through the Boston News Net Web site (check the link below -- but watch the clip first).



Ryan Douglas notes that Boston didn't celebrate the birthday of Egar Allen Poe's brithday this week, even though he was born here, and gives a few suggestions on how to remedy that in the future.

BNN Mondays: Barry Tattle Takes Over

I can't seem to escape Chris Coxen. He shows up at just about every show I go to these days. Part of the reason is that he's more than one person. He showed up at Boston News Net Saturday as lounge singer Barry Tattle, and, as the BNN folks said, "Tattle takes over the broadcast and flirts with the ladies in the BNN studio audience."

Oh, the other reason Coxen seems to show up everywhere is that he's very good at what he does. But you can take a look at this week's BNN Mondays clip to decide for yourself:

BNN Mondays: A Double Shot

You may have noticed we didn't have BNN Mondays last week, so this week, we have two new Boston News Net videos.

First, Mike Morell breaks down the new marijuana possession laws that just took effect.



Next, we have Sean Sullivan (not to be confused with Sean Sullivan from the Untrainables), talks about single-sex education. As a teacher, he is against it. Follow his reasoning here:
