Via Kos.

Warning: Even more tasteless than usual.

Think about what Will Bunch says. A nugget:

I could go on. How much time do you have? The bottom line is this. Don’t be shocked by people’s lack of respect for authority, when people in authority are doing so little to earn our respect right now.

Afterthought:

We seem to be in an era that treasures free-range chickens, but does not recognize the value of free-range kids.

Break time.

Addendum:

We went to the Beach Pub for breakfast, did some shopping, then came home and watched Masterminds on our cable company’s “On Demand.” The movie is hardly a great piece of art, but was a hell of a fun ride. Patrick Stewart makes a wonderful villain.

Mrs. Betty Bowers provides helpful advice.

From the Inky:

After 18 years of rusting away at Pier 82 in South Philadelphia, the iconic SS United States could be brought back to life – but in New York, officials confirmed Friday.

“Currently, the negotiations that are most promising would place the ship in New York,” Susan Gibbs, executive chair of the SS United States Conservancy and the granddaughter of the ship’s designer, Philadelphia native William Francis Gibbs, said in an e-mail. “We do expect that the ship will survive, but only if we continue to galvanize further support and build on the powerful momentum now underway.”

Not conviction. Marketing strategy.
