Old people showed off lots of Speedos and pale flesh.
A kid harangued his girlfriend about how her post-graduation dreams of travel and relaxation and self-discovery were pretty much worthless, because all dreams are [...]

Via Adam Gaffin, here’s Bobby Haynes bloviating about greed and fat cats and justice and stuff at Friday’s save the Globe rally.
