"The police are not here to create disorder. They're here to preserve disorder."

Chicago mayor Richard Daley, 1968

Tell me you heard of her before today. Exactly.

Do you read English? Who won the Nobel for Literature this year?

Do you take medications? Who won the Nobel for Chemistry this year?

Sui generis musician Jonathan Richman, as of a few years ago, would only do interviews by fax. Just saying ...

Things began getting weird when Roarin' Orrin Hatch was the more moderate voice.

I'm guessing that Boaz had never even encountered the words "dystopia" and "nosegay" before.

Politics and business are the two sources of white people crimes. Front page is full of----------- stories.

^ a lot like ...

I only had to read the headline, and that's all I read. Thanks, Boaz, for enlightening us all.

I had a wonderful Waffle House breakfast with a friend over the weekend whose 48-year-old son is delusional, unmedicated by choice (he is an adult), and living at home after many years surviving in one of the nation's large cities.

His communications sound a lot your perpetual crybaby bull$#!+, Boaz.

A23a? Who knew the Bavarian Illuminati had this reach?

8. Oh, what exactly did Gabbard do wrong? Just so we know you get it and still somehow conflate the two situations with whatever other weird ----- goes on in your head.

5. About the same percentage of 'em as any other group.

Ah, the fishwrapper. The source of classified ads that led to all but one of my jobs w/ benefits.

I have friends in Atlanta newspaper and magazine circles from decades ago, and the AJC is a good outlet, or was.

Although the more conservative of the papers before they merged, the Atlanta Journal blue-streak edition was the best paper of the day. It was printed late afternoon to catch some of that day's stories, back from an era when papers published multiple editions a day. Late stock quotes, etc.

And it wasn't that long ago, really.

Oh, well. Atlanta's birds will be less well-read when doing their business.

Was it the UK Navy? ------, rum, and the lash?

^ got my drugs of abuse wrong. Molly? Was grandpa MAGA a techno lover also?

So, back to my original point. Coke because the meth ran out.

MDMA makes more sense for Boaz's lovely NC. I was wondering if it was coke because the meth had run out.

Once our sons came of a certain age, the rule in the house was, "No drugs unless you share."

But when they were kids, yogurt was the preferred drug delivery method. Covered up all the tastes and textures.

2. Heh.

Deep South. And I married a woman from Montgomery, AL. I can still tell a decent slice of pizza or a bagel, though.

I am a New York Jew who went south for college about half a century ago. Most of the Jews there often hung out with other Jews from their NY/FL/NJ culture. Much more interesting were the southerners. I had friends who were children of Huntsville rocket scientists and my next-door dormmate had a photo of his cow on the wall. Lotsa other characters. World's got plenty of boring, overachieving Jews, whom I grow up with.

When I was going to school, my father said, "Watch out for those southern Jews. They think their s#!t doesn't stink."

^ necessarily

My comment reflects little knowledge of Taylor Swift's music, by the way. If it's autotuned females singing about their personal issues, I'd prefer the instrumental versions.

From what I've seen they both love being photographed and being adored by the public.

Trolls do the same, in a certain masochistic fashion.

Technology makes today's influencers and popular performers possible, not necessary the quality of their ideas or content. Who was that dope who wrote "Rich Men North of Richmond"? I'd like to see the stats on his following.

Best wishes to the engaged couple. My Alzheimer's-ridden wife's sundowning has proceeded to a stage I occasionally call "Marriage 2.0."

My father said that, back in the day, they'd go to a certain department store in New Jersey where cousin Leonard would get them good deals.

From there to hanging with Mel Brooks. There you go.

Proud to say that a cousin was the executive producer of the show: Leonard Stern. Also inventor of MadLibs.

Agent 99 was hot.

Jimmy Carter, Palestine: Peace, not Apartheid, 2006.

"When I look into his eyes, I see three letters: KGB."

John McCain, on the mark

How about Marla and Melania?
