@nyttypos @ceciliakang You’re mistaken. It’s a sloppy typo by me.

@themuso2008 What’s hardly criminal is the asking (which is a participle).

And whose asking is hardly criminal? Top officials’ asking.

@delucadan @phillyleighton That’s a great quote, and a worthy obit. I had some good times at Serrano and the Tin Angel.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@paulsurovell Whew. I see now you knew that.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@paulsurovell The speaker, Damon Imani, wasn’t a guest. The video is a spoof.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@phillyleighton @PhillyInquirer @phillyinsider I’ve heard of him.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@nyttypos The point of the analogy is that gifts have some leeway to be extravagant.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@nyttypos The ratios are scrupulously similar: The Spanish tin is 11 times more expensive per ounce than the Cape Cod bag.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@nyttypos A bottle of Sierra Nevada, a pretty good pale ale, costs about $2. But maybe — for a gift, that is — I could part with $24 to treat a beer lover to an exceptional foreign brew he’d never buy himself, without feeling too bad about it.

@nyttypos Is the casually dressed Senator John Fetterman also a grammatical error? Or, for literate people who prefer a similarly capitalized modifier, the Marlovian Doctor Faustus?

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@nyttypos @Supt_Chalmers Thank you.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@nyttypos Thank you.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@nyttypos It’s also like the famous Doctor Fred McGurt.

@whatlawfoxsays Better to rain in Hell.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@nyttypos … and then hoped someone caught “a 18-year-old.”

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@whatlawfoxsays Grazie. Can I get it out of my hand now?

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@paulsurovell And your definition of a streak is … also noted.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@paulsurovell Your uncertainty is refreshing.

[Dave Schmidt @DBradleySchmidt]

@paulsurovell Your prediction that the status quo will receive less follow-up than an incumbent’s loss in a primary is noted.
