A guide to last-minute gifts, Massachusetts style

The world was supposed to end Friday, so I held off on my Christmas shopping. Clever me. Why waste the time and money? The cataclysm was supposed to make the whole thing irrelevant. Now, with Armageddon averted and friends and family expecting something under their trees, I’m in a panic. My guess is you’re in the same position as me — I mean, if you can’t believe the Mayans, who can you believe? — and so, herewith, a handy last-minute gift guide.

The only people who still continue to find LG Murray's car accident "hazy" seem to work for the Globe. Bringing you up to speed (pun intended): Murray went out at 5:30 AM and drove too fast on an ice slick road and wrecked the car that skidded off the road. He repaid the state for the car. He was not using his cell phone at the time so there are no phone records to get. The Boston Globe hired its own accident investigator who confirmed that the car could not have been going as fast as the Globe repeatedly reported or Murray would have been dead. Murray walked away from the accident and reported to the State House for work. Unfortunately for Murray, this story was too damn dull to be believed so they ramped it up for months ad nauseum. Moral of the story: anything you read in the Globe may not be true at all.
