@JamesSurowiecki Bondi is Trump’s Tom Hagen. The Corleone’s Tom Hagen was a lot better at his job.

@CohenOnAfrica @ADSTnews I don't know that the title has aged well, Hank. "Had" a friend would seem more accurate now.

. @joelpollak Yes, that was a tasteless low blow written in anger. I unreservedly apologize. I can’t begin to imagine the hell you and your family must have been through.

@hofrench Me too. The fall of apartheid was achieved by South Africans. Yes, outsiders facilitated, but USAID was not a significant factor.

@DominicJPino Protectionism is the reason the average monthly car payment in the US is around a grand.

@GvanOnselen @TonyLeonSA If you ain’t got the votes to pursue your agenda, learn from the GOP and pack the courts with your stooges.

@OptimoPrincipi Another detail from Dio: "But no one knows whether he was really slain — though a great number of heads purporting to be his were brought to Rome — or whether he made good his escape."

From David Sedaris on Trump vs Biden:
"I think​ of being​ on an airplane.​ The flight attendant comes​ down the aisle​ with her food cart and, eventually,​ parks​ it beside my seat.​ “Can I inter​est you in the chick​en?​” she asks.​ “Or would​ you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broke​n glass​ in it?"
To be undecided in this elect​ion is to pause​ for a moment and then ask how the chick​en is cooked.”

@evefairbanks On the other hand Trump and Zuma have a lot in common.

@CharlesPPierce I wish these damned NYT reporters would stop trying (and failing) to be Hemingway and just tell us what the guy said. What happened to leads/ledes that told us who, when, what, where?

@CyrilRamaphosa No, you have not worked to restore South Africa’s wealth to its people. You and your party and the gangsters you have enabled have been too busy stealing it. You had every opportunity to create a modern social democracy. What South Africa got was feudalism and mass unemployment.

@HC_Richardson @StephenKing Why is any jingle necessary? It seems to be a thing with podcasts that they all have to have sound effects. Not always. Good delivery and clean sound are what matter. Alistair Cook didn't need musical accompaniment.
