D.C. Cops
You may have deduced from some of my past writing that I have sources who are pretty aware of the activities of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. I have not talked to any of them in months and never about this, all my information comes from the Funny Papers. I’m careful to use Washington …

The Gray Lady
It’s an old name for the Times that mostly refers (at least when I was exposed to it) to the fact they were one of the last newspapers to use color presses even though their Printing Plant had been capable of doing it for 20 years. So it’s fair to characterizes them as a hide-bound, …

Dailyish Last Nightly (Not Funny)
