More from the article: A former classmate, William Kennedy, who went on to become a Brown University official, was quoted in "Citizen Turner" as describing young Ted as "a bigot, as maybe all of us were in a sense at the time."
Mr. Turner, he said, drank excessively, sang Nazi songs outside a Jewish fraternity house and put up Ku Klux Klan signs on the dormitory doors of Black students. He was finally tossed out of Brown after being caught in bed with a woman in his dorm room.

The man who brought us the 24-hour news cycle. For that he should be reviled.
The Braves were fun to watch under his ownership, though.
And he brought us the incomparable Bill Tush, the original fake news, during rainouts. Jan Hooks, too.
RIP, for all his faults.

As should Alfred Nobel.
The man who brought us dynamite.
Not sure, however, that there will be many Nobel Laureates willing to toss their awards into the trash because of, well, dynamite.
You?

#6 100% oops:
Sucks to be you:
#118 I figured out why you chose a name to be shortened to STD. You have an ABI caused during your birth because your mother had a venereal disease. Calling yourself STD makes you feel close to her, doesn't it? #121 | Posted by Chantresse at 2026-01-23 02:47 PM
