“Lyle also has evicted perhaps hundreds of men, women and children. Others have left on their own.”

Yup. And “I wonder when the last time someone told him he was special”??? Lady, from one white woman to another: STFU. I’m betting his momma did right before his shift. Or maybe his girlfriend, who he’s meeting afterwards, which is why he’s smiling.

I’m neither Jewish or from New York, but I was under the impression that all New York Jews (female or otherwise) read the Times. Is it just Amy and the ones I’m related to?

I can’t star this enough, Mayotonilla. I want to cross-stitch your comment on a pillow and send it to my Senators.

All the best people have towers of unread books lying around their homes.

“Well, it wasn’t RAPE rape! It was just, like, a...thing that happened. Duh. Stop being so politically correct!”
