It was a lot easier to have one’s manhood checked back then.

David Simon joins the chorus

I remember that fillers often got dumped in a nearby dumpster by some clever wags.

Was this the place by Primos in Plymouth?

But there was that one day when instead of nickels, she gave me something even more valuable....

The woman who paid me in nickels every week instead of paying ahead and never paid a tip...i still remember waiting outside her door. I remember her name was Napier which as I learned when I married into a Scottish family is a famous Scottish name and that the Scots are famously tight with their brass.

We did the morning deliveries on the weekend. But, yeah... I feel your pain.

The is very interesting reading on the gender gap. You aren't surprised that Vance and Trump are not popular with women with brains.

He's a rent boy to the billionaires who think he's the best reputation of what a nice conservative young man should be like.

My "Joe Jobs" prior to enlisting were: DETNEWS paper route: I learned that its cold out there, man. Denny's bus boy: I learned that Denny's isn't going to close just because the Tigers are in the World Series. Cutlery World "associate" where I learned all about Sabatier knives and that you NEVER ask a person who is missing an arm or other appendage if they are "looking for something." Liquor Store: cash register machine operator and provider of semi-legal vices to the lower-middle class.

"Alexa, what is the opposite of a NYT Pitchbot headline?" These economic indicators could spell trouble for Trump campaign - MarketWatch

Like West Pennsylvania for quarterbacks is Midland, Mi as to managing the middle of the workforce.

1 in 8 per some link I see on Drudge. Plenty of politicians did the check-the-box version of military service, too.

Related somewhat to the weird comparison of writing a check to Trump's campaign to death in battle is Mike Murphy on "Hacks on Tap" podcast saying he didn't like Harris touting her work at McDonalds. He said Its not the equivalent of earning the Silver Star in battle. I dunno, its does put her in a group of people who have had to sweat a little bit to get drinking money when they were in school -- or in my case so they could buy an AD&D module.

Tarrifs called and said they were more inflationary than regulating the cost of prescription drugs.

I'd post the final epilogue of the Manchurian Candidate but there was this recent event where Trump had to get off a stage because someone had just gotten his ear messy which was somewhat similar.

Donald Trump compared the Medal of Freedom that his big donor got with the Medal of Honor. I would just like to say... is not the same as this

Visual humor.

Message definition is critical at this stage. Obama 2012 campaign nuked Romney with stuff that was in my heart of hearts true vulnerability for the guy -- as decent as he seemed. Before long it was just...part of the zeitgeist.

Dark Brandon approves of these snarky press releases.

Malloy as a leadoff hitter? Hmmm...

I liked "Venue: Not a battleground state"

for those who wondered what this was

There is some NASTY stuff about Barron Trump out there in the twitterverse. It basically suggests he's a chip off the sociopathic block. I'm gonna take a beat before I trust this. I had heard he was not in a program at his school because of regular learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia).

This probably is but step one of this campaign crashing and burning
