Pirates descend on Boston this weekend

By Reporter Jim O'Sullivan, in The Boston Globe, yesterday.

Here is the lede plus one:

Topping the Capital Source rundown of fun things to do this weekend: Pirate Party in Boston.

Not just any pirate party, but the fifth annual conference of the Massachusetts Pirate Party, an august body formed in 2007 “to promote candidates registered in the Pirate designation who will vote to reign [sic] in corporate power.”

See, Republicans aren't the only minority party in this one-party Commonwealth.
