LOL! Not only the CM's! Remember when -- at the height of the turbulence -- the Globe (in an apparent attempt to humanize Dukakis -- talk about an exercise in futility) ran a front-page picture of Dukakis walking his little daughter to school. With its stupendous insensitivity, the Globe never realized how it would further enrage all those Boston parents who could no longer walk their little children to school -- because they were being bused miled away or kept home in protest.
Hard to believe I'm old enough to remember when America was a free country . . . :(
Wed show ping.
By the way remember the incident where “hockey dad” Thomas Giunta beat Michael Costin to death at a rink in Reading?
(2000 or so)
Turns out the victim’s son, Michael Costin Jr—now 20—
is heading to jail after beating up his 43 yr old girlfriend.

>>Yesterday, Costin, now 20, was sent to Middleton Jail for 18 months, after pleading guilty to beating up his 43-year-old girlfriend and stealing her car two days before Christmas.
>>Prosecutor Michelle DeCourcey said Salem police were called to a Leach Street apartment on the afternoon of Dec. 23 by Costin’s girlfriend, who said he had grabbed her by the throat, punched her in the face and told her, “You’re going to die tonight.”
