Read MorePhilly swim club turns away minorities while supporting … Obama?
This is an amazingly heartbreaking story that this kind of crap still exists today. When you listen to these kids it just makes you want to cry, or scream, or both. But it is a classic not in my backyard story … or pool for that matter. By now you have probably heard about the…
Read MoreOscar Mayer, Dies at 95
