Not a fan of the empty euphemism of "brief illness" that obituaries are so fond of. Surely the illness that killed somebody is an important factual part of said text.

No threats, just do it. FIFA’s a corrupt manure bag of an organization anyway.

Look, Germany, no one wants to see you go overboard given your history. That said, a little follow-through on a boycott would be most appropriate at this juncture:

in the James Ellroy canon, MLK was supposed to be killed by James Earl Ray but when he got the yips, 2nd shooter Freddy Otash did the deed.

am I an anachronism, because I care about quality; and think that good outcomes are the natural, and often unpredictable (in their specifics), outcome of good processes? You do the right thing because it's the right thing.

the snow seemed like a dirty bandage hiding the open wounds of the city, hiding those irregular gashes of haphazard streets and tortuous alleys, courtyards and occasional plots of bare ground, that form the only beauty to be found in the panorama of our
