And there was one about a mind, too. But, unfortunately, all that kind of crap is all too in a day's work if the president says "nucular".
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

The Detroit comments reminded me of Baltimore getting a new slogan cause "The Wire" is shot there.
We did?

Speaking of cursing, I suggested "Baltimore: It's Fucking Awesome" to then Mayor O'Malley (on whom Carcetti was based despite David Simon's repeated denials) and he agreed that it would be a great slogan.

Well, maybe y'all decided not to go ahead with it. But some PR firm did some study, and said David Simon harmed the city's image, with an eye toward some sort of "rebranding". It was like something Lindsay Nagel from the Simpsons would think. ETA: Cool, Lisah. Around here, our politicians are already parody enough that nobody needs to write about them and wonder who they are.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I went and had a burger at Mel's with Kristen and Polgara last night and it was awesome.
Came home to a birthday cake in my fridge, a balloon tied to my door, a Home Depot gift certificate and some nice cards, and a package of flower-shaped fairy lights.
So that was nice. And then I took a bath with a Lush bath bomb and went to bed. Birthday turned out okay.
But you know, Noah and Grace are the BEST PRESENTS EVAR!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
And there was one about a mind, too.
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind. How true that is."
In response to, or attempting to paraphrase, the United Negro College Fund slogan "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."

Ah, right. Baltimore: Get In On It!

The RuPaul quote was Hec. Sorry to leave you all hanging; I got called to the desk, and got to help clueless freshman who didn't know what he wanted find something. I hate it when they don't know what they want, but expect ME to know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind. How true that is."
That is very true.
Oh. My favorite Quayle quote? Back in '92 (shortly after the '92 presidential election), he said it was too early to decide if he was going to run for president in '94.

Isn't Baltimore "The City that Reads" ?

Cities with self-confidence react differently to negative portrayals. There is a serious campaign in NY city to make "Gotham City" an official nickname.
