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."
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

But some PR firm did some study, and said David Simon harmed the city's image, with an eye toward some sort of "rebranding".
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.

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

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

Personally, I'd have been no help at all: Baltimore: You Didn't Come Here To Hunt, Did You? I liked John Waters' which was something like "Come to Baltimore and get weird."(Too late.) And I liked "It's Baltimore, hon, duck!" which I think a real murder po-lice suggested.(But, again, nsm with the soft-soap there)

Happy Noah and Grace day! I hope you both continue to grow and prosper this year and every year.

There is a serious campaign in NY city to make "Gotham City" an official nickname.
Okay, the comics-geek in me is saying "That's AWESOME!"
The cynic in me is saying "Oh, how smart. 'Come to NYC: A Homicidal Clown May Kill You With A Giant Penny!'"

There is a serious campaign in NY city to make "Gotham City" an official nickname.
Er, one Queens councilman is a "serious campaign" now?
[eta: And even though the current push to make it "official" is Batman-movie driven, Gotham was a nickname for NYC about 100 years before DC Comics ever existed.]
