That’s sooooo dirty. If you did that here, they’d run you out of town.
Excerpt from the article reads: Hotel officials offered shifting explanations for the cancellations, including blaming a contract with Dover Air Force Base to house military personnel, a claim they later admitted was untrue after military officials denied it.

Grotesque. Grieved with the detainees, did he?
Screenshot from the NYT: “One of our ICE officers administered CPR to Castro-Rivera in an attempt to keep him alive,” the D.H.S. spokesperson said. “Unfortunately, Castro-Rivera perished. The officer then informed the three detained aliens that their friend had deceased. He then grieved and prayed with them.”

Where's Arthur Dent when you need him?
A screen capture from the BBC's 1981 adaptation of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" shows Arthur Dent wearing a robe and lying in the mud in front of a bulldozer set to demolish his home.

Second set of Burgettstown 2012 was my “oh yeah, this is the stuff” moment. Had a lot of fun that night. Convinced me to to Birmingham-Atlanta-Charlotte in August.

I still have my youth medium Greenwell No. 39 jersey from, probably 1987. It’s seen better days.

Other song choices included “God Bless America,” and shortly before the First Lady walked onto the stage, “Dixie,” a Confederate anthem written in the 1850s.
