I saw Blue Velvet when it opened in 1986, walked out of the theater & thought, "If he can get a movie like that made, I can get published." Six months later I quit my job. The next year I sold my first story. Lynch's work gave me the courage to make that leap."Why are there people like Frank?" RIP

Eric Adams isn't fooling anyone.
He's in Mar-A-Lago to meet with the felon today to discuss a pardon. Of course, the felon is going to want something in return because that's how he rolls.
