In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.

Poe quote, and I’m listening to the Alan Parsons Project — so we combine!

The Village Where the Neo-Nazis Rule
Hitler salutes in the street and firing practice in the forest: Neo-Nazis have taken over an entire village in Germany, and authorities appear to have given up efforts to combat the problem. The place has come to symbolize the far right’s growing influence in parts of the former communist east.
Horst and Birgit Lohmeyer have been working on their life’s dream for six years, renovating a house in the woods near Jamel, a tiny village near Wismar in the far northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Birgit Lohmeyer writes crime novels, her husband is a musician, and both try to pretend everything is normal here in Jamel.
It wasn’t easy to find their new home. The Lohmeyers spent months driving out to the countryside every weekend, heading east from where they lived in Hamburg, but most of the houses they saw were too expensive. Then they came across the inexpensive red brick farmhouse in Jamel. Slightly run-down, but not far from the Baltic Sea, the house sits surrounded by lime and maple trees, near a lake.The Lohmeyers knew that a notorious neo-Nazi lived nearby — Sven Krüger, a demolition contractor and high-level member of the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD). What the Lohmeyers didn’t know was that other neighbors felt terrorized by Krüger. He and his associates were in the process of buying up the entire village.

listening to a real pro talking about broadcasting
Bubba the Love Sponge is a smarter broadcaster than any conservative talk host minus Limbaugh and Savage (and he’s on their level) , and that includes everyone on Fox News

iirc, he’s “considered” it several times in the past
((funny, each time he has it’s been after he hasn’t been in the news/ on TV/ getting married/ sued in a while!!))

Southern Highlands Estate, a Las Vegas homeowner association, has filed an injunction in Clark County district court to force Floyd Mayweather Jr. to follow its rules and to order the boxing champion to stop threatening its employees.
If that wasn’t one of the rules before, i’m sure it will be written into them now!!
