It being later in the day, Lil' Glenmorangie Neat With An Icewater Back has now stepped to the mike and promises some flow.

The simple lesson today is that there is no way to outflank Donald Trump as a bitter, vindictive, mean-spirited shitpiece devoid of all class and humor. In the Republican Party, Mr. Trump has that lane entirely to himself for the duration.

I wore my old Todd Heap jersey and purple-and-black cammies to bed, and fell asleep reading the feed.

Yes, doctor, I might have swallowed a few extra of the little white pills. Please call in another presciption.

Well then. If you subscribe to the The Baltimore Banner at the introductory rate of $1, you, Curt, will be my special friend and an honorary Baltimoron, which is an intramural moniker we locals only allow each other to invoke.

The worst part of this equivocal legal precent might not be that corporations are people. The argument that money equals speech and therefore can't be limited or regulated in our politics is a knife in the heart of representative government.

Well, it's not part of some racist, fear-mongering diabtribe about immigrants, dangerous cities, Muslims or Jews. So all in all, I'm sanguine about the company I keep.

Robert Chew was such a fine actor and good man. I once asked him why he didn't move to NY and LA and scarf up all the work in the world. He gave a shrug and said, 'Then I wouldn't be in Baltimore.'

I was there, freezing my ass but watching intently, but it took me this morning's coffee to realize this remarkable stat is accurate. With nary a turnover or sack, the Raven defense simply said no, not there, not today.

I've never gotten over the moment when Nikki Haley tore up President Trump's state of the union address after he finished speaking. Incredibly disrepectful behavior by the Speaker of the House.

I think it denigrating to complain about another worthy non-profit receiving a donor's support, then request money from the donor in the next breath --AND be the one to contrast the two entities in racial terms. I didn't do that. THE BEAT DID.
The approach was indeed assholic.

Yeah, great approach. Trash my support for another non-profit and its mission, then in the next breath ask for cash and declare that your work should have primacy because of the racial cohort. Then tell me to fuck myself when I don't go for my wallet. Let's see how that works.

1) Calm down with that literature nonsense.
2) Know that I will only accept the Peace Prize and then only after the Israelis, Russians, Ukrainians and Palestinians all listen carefully to everything I can monologue in teleplays and have a big, wet group hug.

Your timeline betrays you. Politically, everything to the left of Father Coughlin will strike you as Marxist dogma.

It was said in quite literal reply to an assertion that I ought to fund their organization and the Afro's digital enterprise. The reference was theirs, specifically, not mine in origin. So, hey, fuck your feelings.
