Bwoglines: Retirement Edition

By Bwog Staff on Apr 13, 2016 0 Comments

By Maddie Stearn on Apr 12, 2016 2 Comments

A few days ago Hillary Clinton rode the NYC subway. Like “any” “normal” “person”, she encountered a few setbacks on her journey–like needing to swipe her MetroCard 5 times at the turnstile.
