Confession time, since well before WWDTM, Bill Curtis has been my voice crush. I would listen to pretty much anything he narrated.
Perhaps you know my friend Bill Kurtis as the narrator/inspiration for "Anchorman." Or from his various series like "Cold Case Files." Or maybe this remarkable long form ad with Taylor Swift. I am here to tell you that is a fraction of a fraction of what he's done.

"But since U.S. Border Patrol descended on Charlotte over the weekend, with over 130 arrests in two days, the parking lot has been a desert. Mostly, all the businesses were closed except for the laundromat, which had about two patrons."

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

While veterans represent an estimated 12 percent of Florida’s 256 death row inmates, they account for nearly 40 percent of the 18 death warrants that the governor has signed this year.
Florida’s governor is a veteran. So are seven inmates he’ll send to the execution chamber this year.
Should their military service matter?
