The Diana Florence ads for New York County DA are some of the most disgraceful and dishonest political ads I have ever seen, and that’s saying a lot.

Jackson Browne’s current touring band is fantastic, but there are now two guys doing what David Lindley used to do by himself. Kind of a subtle tribute to Lindley’s greatness.

I stopped being a Yankee fan tonight. It’s been fading for years. I love watching Judge, but this organization represents values I can’t stand behind. I still love Berra, Munson, Murcer, Guidry, Reggie, Mattingly, and others, but not this current Yankee organization.

The Borgias were the Trumps of Renaissance Europe. A family built on corruption, financial crimes, and violent power plays, all under the guise of religion, they built this gaudy palace in central Rome. They are despised among Romans.
