The Associated Press director of membership and major accounts. Four decades as an ink-stained wretch. Denver based. I contain multitudes, and they never get along. Native Rhode Islander. Dad. Husband. Apparently descended from Roger Williams.
Eh. A thing is true right until the moment it isn’t. I’m intrigued by the ideological cross currents involved in the whole money isn’t speech question.

Yeah, but those amendments go in spurts. We might be due. Looking at you, Citizens United.

This might be my Christmas gift to myself this year. 19-year-old Jim would insist that 60-years-old Jim get this.

I lost the cow pie tossing contest to the Washington County (RI) fair queen in 1987. I’ve never tossed a cow pie since then. Funny story though.

For the love of God, the Red Sox and all else that’s holy, am I the last person in this country who remembers the name Richard Jewell? (Crawls under the bed with a bottle of whiskey)

Great column. Two thoughts:
- Eldritch is an excellent word.
_ You're thinking about the turkey dinner all wrong. It's a challenge, a dare, a gastronomic gauntlet thrown down by our cranky ancestors.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving brother Dave.

Also your mashed potatoes are bad because you didn’t use enough butter. However much butter you think you used isn’t enough. Add more. Do you hate joy? No? Add more butter and shut up.
