I thought it was something recent. Then again, once a Dukie . . . .

Why Ferry? Please, do tell, as I hadn’t heard.

So he’s a Prussian Junker? Or just affecting nobility like Zsa Zsa’s husband?

Is Stevevon Loor next?

“Ouch”

Yeah, he will soon be a healthcare chaplain shuttling between nursing homes, hospitals, home care and hospice.

Hunh? Have you never been to an Irish Catholic wake/funeral in a church? It can get messier than this and no priest clears the church/calls the cops.

White males, 20s, long hair, no ID and SELF-DISFIGURED FINGERTIPS TO AVOID IDENTITY according to the local media (NBC4, WaPo, Balt. SUN, WJZ)

I don’t know but Luol Deng won’t be selling it out the back door.

People looking to sell the copper coils as scrap (not much money) or re-sell the entire unit for another installation (more money). It is so rampant in some areas that people have to put burglar bars around them embedded in the concrete pad and/or attached to the house.

‘Cept I’m from there, parents still live there and actually wish I could go back and help shore it up. I am old enough to remember AmShip, watching them dump slag at the steel mill, and the slow decline that continues. My Dad literally had to supervise the closing of his plant in Elyria before working out the string…

Toni Morrison’s cousin lived two doors down from me. She is Lorain County’s only Nobel Laureate.

Salt is a delicious mineral which exists in vast quantities under the Great Lakes so . . . I dunno? Taconite, not so much.

I grew up in Oberlin and my mom, who grew up in Avon Lake, always told us that Lorain cops are racist and corrupt and would beat you then arrest you rather than ticket you.

Turns out it was Elyria cops back in the early 90s that beat the shit out of my younger brother after pulling him out by his hair because he fled…

As someone who lived through that nightmare, the Stepien rule limits trading of team number one picks to non-consecutive years.

Fuck politeness. This outdated concept of trying to engage in a civil manner with the epistemically-closed does not work. While the rhetoric may seem civil, I had illuminating hallway discussion today with a senior staffer on the backdoor methods they are employing to get discovery in the various cases into the public…

As someone who works there, they are slow-walking every nominee that they can — especially judges. Each time they are invoking the maximum amount of debate (literally just a clock running in the background) between motion and cloture vote and between cloture vote and final vote. Blue slips are disregarded because the…

There was no need for a jacket at all in DC today — 80s and humid.

Simons in the head should be Simmons.

If there was a job, I’d move back from the DMV to a nice house on the east side in a minute.
