The scene with Omar and Levy is a flawless jewel.
Omar's examination by the prosecution was better than the cross (Mr. Little, what is your occupation? Occupation? What do you do for a living, Mr. Little? I rip and run. ??? I robs drug dealers. How have you been able to rob drug dealers and live to tell about it? Day at a time, I suppose...Bird always love them shiny things. And he too trifling to throw it off even after a daytime murder). And Omar's crossword discussion was great too. (Ares; the Greeks called him Ares. Same dude, different same. 'Sis all good. Back in middle school, I used to love dem myths. Stuff was deep. Truly.)
Looks like the Post is after the Times' turf.
Good lord, that's awful. I couldn't read more than a couple paragraphs in.
Hasn't Lauren Session Stepp been discussed here before? She's a reliable font of breaking information on new trends the kids have these days, such as "wingmen" and "hooking up." And yet, somehow, she has a Pulitzer.
Stepp's article is, in part. plugging her new book: Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love, and Lose at Both. Yuck.
I'd like to invite anyone with cause to join me in cursing USAir.
Charleycarp: what happened to the website?

What, I broke the internet again?
I just figured that you thought my penis needed enlarging. I couldnt figure out how you knew.
Plus, how did know I was going bald?
Weird.
To be a little clearer, I don't think airlines should ever cancel flights. Delay, ok, if they have to, but cancel? Never. If they need more planes to fly their routes, then they need to buy some planes.
At the same time, when they have delays, they could make an effort to be honest about it.
After finding that my flight was cancelled, I had two choices: the later flight to DC (delayed 8 minutes) or a flight to Baltimore that would get me there about 2 hours earlier. Counting up the time it would take to get from Thurgood Marshall to DCA (and retrieve my car), it just barely made sense to stick with USAir. The delay was 20 minutes when I got to the gate, now it's 50. The plane isn't here, but it's in the air en route. They should have a damn good idea when it will get here. But no, they have to dole it out, bit by bit.
