The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Is there a helpful article out there that explains the possibility of the guilty (GUILTY! GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!) verdicts leading to an orange jumpsuit perp walk?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If only he would suffer some consequence for being such a Felonious fucker. But he won't go to jail and it won't prevent him from running for President.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

And even though I do still love Prince of Tides, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to people, because it falls squarely in the category of books I like to call "Holy Shit This Family Is Severely Fucked Up." And while I tend to like those books, I never assume other people will.

For the three seconds before my phone list up with breaking news alerts, I did think Tom was responding oddly strongly to this.

I'm grateful I can just listen to music and books on the way to NY instead of being on verdict watch. Hoping to leave super early morning. We shall see.

Ah, guilty verdicts on 34 charges. It’s a nice day. Sentencing is scheduled for 3 days before RNC, so there are some nice optics for ya.
