This is so great. Am compelled to note here that if you were a couple blocks east of North/Damen/Milwaukee in 2003, I was only a couple blocks away. Paulina and Cortland. Couple buildings south of the Bucktown Pub.

Also “post-ventilation”? I doff my cap.

The most loathed SCOTUS Justice was also a Wilson AG? That somehow tracks.

Will the judges also allow “Leaving dead end office job at 3pm, windows down, headed for Friday beers”?

The people are crying out for a leader who can believably say they’re spending a Friday night “goin to the boat”.

People are going to clutch pearls about this but that amount of money for the Great Khan is roughly equivalent to me reporting the casino comped me a shrimp cocktail.

My Mom has always told people that “Emergency” was the first word I ever learned how to spell. Couldn’t click on that interview fast enough. Great stuff.
