As video ads debut, T hopes to take in millions

Mariah Gresham-Conant strode down the stairs into the Harvard Square MBTA station Thursday and entered a brave new world.

Bright, bold, crisp video images flashed on a 70-inch-tall screen in the center of the atrium.

Is this scruptious new T revenue going to be given to the state Transitional Assistance Department to make up for some of the millions in food stamps and questionable EBT aid reportedly handed out by the TAD under a commissioner that has, again reportedly by the Boston Herald, been dumped by the side of the road where he belongs?  And if this guy, Curley, is really fired, why doesn't the Globe report the story?  After all, on Jan. 31, some brave Glob editorialist had the gumption to tell DeVille Deeval he has weakened Taxashoosetts relations with the U.S. Congress by naming some backroom esquire unknown to most of the general public as the state's U.S. Senator pro tem.  And that on the day that Glen Johnson, the Glob's Demohack in residence, scrambled out of the hole he occupied so he could add a line about diplomatic service to his cockeyed resume.  That is a Kerry payback for all that faithrul service found in the Glob pages Johnson dedicated to the Demomob.

Everywhere I go, there are video screens with audio. Grocery stores, even.  So now I can't ride the T without advertising?  Enough already!
