The Week That Was
Chronicling the past week via quick links and pithy commentary (fare thee well, el jefe edition).

Must love kids, brain-melting heat: The Red Sox are looking for a new Wally.
Brilliant! It’s the Week in Genius.
Wednesday
Are you there, God? It’s Boston Daily, praying for Mitt Romney.
In what way is Jim Ogonowski better than Romney? He ends his campaign in the black. Barely.
Bulges, books, and tats: It’s the latest news from the townie papers.
Thursday
The Boston Fire Department has a friend: Rumored mayoral hopeful Mike Flaherty weighs in on the disability abuse scandal.
Slydial keeps it on the down low: No, aunt Kate, we’re not avoiding you.
We’re still waiting: Randi Goldklank’s apology for her antics gets us thinking about who else owes Bostonians a mea culpa.
Friday

Why isn’t anyone ogling Flaherty’s Council seat? The Hill and the Hall has the answer.
That’s all for this week. If you need us, we’ll be enjoying our summer hours.
