This is really incredibly stated. And factually correct! Our cities **"are holding the people that the rest of the country failed to love and take care of"**

An American political axiom: If you're a racist sexual predator and a narcissistic psychopath who disgraces and demeans the presidency every single day, high gas prices can hurt your popularity.

Woodward and Bernstein weren't in the WH because they weren't WH correspondents. It was still important for the Washington Post to have representation there.

I have a similar problem with "Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you..." and then he unloads all this heavy shit on Maggie, who is probably thinking, "Can I just have a cup of coffee before we get into all this?"

If Barack Obama had done this, he would have called not for his impeachment, but his execution.

I'm reading this now. (I didn't buy it, but I borrowed both hard copy and digital versions from the library--hope that helps.) Anyway, I'm enjoying it a lot, and have been impressed by your keen judgement. Until I got to that part about the dental floss.

I remember riding in the back seat of our station wagon during family vacation when I was 13, reading The Godfather. Kept wondering what "whore" meant and how it was pronounced.

This is one of the most engrossing long-form pieces I have read in ages. Quite a cast of characters. I look forward to the inevitable movie/series/documentary.

Yes, and it's a line that's often misinterpreted, too. It's not, as many seem to believe, evidence of Shakespeare's disdain for lawyers. It's said by a bad guy with ill intentions. Which is why I think B.D. was using it in this context. Anyway, I don't mean to be a pedantic jerk.

DanTheWeb @dantheweb.bsky.social · 03/05/2026
I think you're misinterpreting his comment. He's not saying that a copy editor should be fired for this mistake (I'm sure B.D. would never suggest that); he's saying we see mistakes like this in published work because so many copy editors have been fired.

I don't know if this is a Brit thing or what, but about 80% of the fesses here have a scatological theme. Not complaining--I'm still following--just an observation.

We need to change the definition of "stupified" to describe what happens to these people when they become part of the Trumposphere.

And judging from the quotes included in the article, it seems the agents disliked working with Ducks' management because they always played hardball, whereas their assessment of the Canucks' front office was that they were disorganized, with "no plan."

Was chuffed (as you Brits say) to see my pre-ordered copy pop up on my device last night. Got into it right away, and I'm loving it. As I, too, am a retired serial killer, I find it spot on and relatable.

Maybe. But you have to admit he has shown himself to be stupidly susceptible to gifts and flattery. I can't blame her for trying.

I may be wrong, but maybe she's thinking, "If I give this shiny bauble to this man-child maybe we have a chance to bring real democracy to my country." In which case, she deserves another peace prize.

As a former bookstore flunky/buyer, I can confirm. If you buy one copy of a backlist title and it sells, you buy another (duh). If it sells again, you buy three more next time, and so on. So yes, your single purchase makes a difference.

I realize this was a typo, and you meant "or" but "Hakeem Jeffries of Chuck Schumer" is a great encapsulation.
