Charlie got charged

[Gaspar]

Uh, is that because they're black? 

Or maybe it's because it's New York City and city dwellers are notoriously blase about corruption?

Or what exactly did you mean?

Wow!  Not really sure how your mind works.
No and no.
Much of his constituency is below the poverty level, and they notoriously vote for people who promise the most largess.

Oh cool!  It's the poor!  I totally thought you were getting all racial! Whew!

It's not their fault.  They have been socialized to be dependent.  Addicted.

Uh oh Gaspar, I think you might be on the verge of getting chastised for talking about corrupt NYC politics.

It's a beautiful city, great people, etc.

I only lived there for a semester so don't get nearly as teary-eyed as I do about Chicago. 

This is secretly about my personal failure to collect any sort of graft whatsoever as a citizen of either municipality.

Can't you ever freakin try to have fun in here?

I laughed.

I laughed.

Heck, I know you would because you do not take yourself too seriously.

[heironymouspasparagus]

I have a HUGE amount of fun here!!  It is always comical to watch the ebb and flow around here!  I love it!  Why would you think I don't?  Why would I waste the time if I weren't having fun?  That is why sometimes I don't come around for days at a time - I have found something that is at least potentially more fun for that moment, but this is just too good to stay away from for too long.

Don't you?

Atlanta is nice today.  Kind of warm, but hey, what can you expect about the deep south in early/mid September?  Still haven't heard any gunshots yet, but the night is young!  May have to go for a walk later...??  Seems like it would be a lot like Valley Brook (OKC) on steroids!
