Baltimore ex-pat. The opposite of the Fresh Prince (Bel Air->West Philly, among other reasons). I'll give a "go birds" but they'll be orioles and ravens. Libraries rule.

I wonder if there's a media market thing going on? Like her ads are mostly airing in the NYC market while you are getting more from the Philly side.

I don't know how that works in NJ, other than presumably quite confusingly.

Marius shouldn't have opened the borders and let in all those illegal Gauls.

Should've kept the original name: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olentan...

"It was originally called 'keenhongsheconsepung', a Delaware word literally translated as "sharp tool river", based on the shale found along its shores."

It's pronounced "Baldamore, Maralind". Enunciate the T and the Y, and I start pointing like Donald Sutherland.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

He doesn't even have the common courtesy to freeze up like Miller did for saying the quiet part out loud.

Likely because he doesn't even know what he's saying (which is clear from the word vomit).

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

… but what is plenary authority?

I'd think "learn how to Carlton" would have a stronger basis, but

In my mind name-calling falls under the same standard as libel in terms of the truth being an absolute defense.

I'm always there for the Gennaro/Muldoon buddy comedy in the middle of the book. And the fact that they pulled the boathouse scene and adapted it for the most recent movie.

Please be aware that there is a scrapple sculpting contest at the Reading Terminal Market tomorrow at noon. (If you don’t know what this means you probably don’t want to.)

Yet another lesson from The West Wing ignored by modern politicians.

A scene from the West Wing episode "Freedonia", of Bob Russell campaign staffer Donna Moss confronting a Matt Santos campaign intern dressed as a chicken, there to ask why Russell was "too chicken" to debate Santos.

Never argue with a person dressed as a chicken.
