Sometimes lovely writing sneaks up on you. For example: @merriam-webster.com’s “Some Notes On 'Asshat'” www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/som...

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context.

Thomas Nast, the father of the American political cartoon, was born on September 27, 1840.
