There's no football on television today. You have time to go online and check out the new public payrolls that were posted this week at bostonherald.com. Start with the Massachusetts Port Authority payroll. Last year, 272 Massport hacks made over 100 grand.

Talk about a hackerama. Tommy Butler, an old coatholder for retired solon and judge Michael "Flats" Flaherty - he grabbed $182,162.06 last year.

Joe Lawless, the ex-Statie who was Bill Weld's driver 20 years ago, is forgotten but not gone for $171,456.05. Think about that the next time you get into a cab at Logan and the meter says $8.50 before you even leave the curb.

Does the name Mike Greico ring a bell? Probably not, unless you're from Eastie, or City Hall. He used to work for John Nucci. Now making $123,548 at Massport. Even further back in time, Lowell Richards, an old Kevin White hack. Now pocketing $193.837.96 a year, and behind that comes the 80 percent pension.

Tommy Domenico, a payroll patriot in the Trav crew - he too has been taken care of at Massport, big time, for $117,503.12. Hey, ex-bowtied bumkisser Matt Brelis - you're making $124,338. All those years of brown-nosing Democrat hacks in the Globe really paid off big time, didn't it, Matt? Puff pieces 'R' us.

Ultimately, that's what it's all about, this Republican renaissance. Out with the old hacks, in with the new.
