Broadsheet: The City of Self-Deprecation

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

The WP has an article in today's paper about the campaign to "re-brand"Baltimore.

In typical fashion, Wonkette riffs on the article.

I especially liked: "Baltimore: Duck!", and "Baltimore: Got Some Real Bargains, Housing Wise".

How about "Baltimore: Where Snowstorms Signal the Appocalypse", or "Baltimore: The City That Can't Handle Snow".

Speaking of which, first flake I see I'm calling Greg, "Yeah, I'm calling out because I'm a stereotypical native Marylander who is scared to death to drive in the snow."

I actually liked what the wonkette article said. I thought it captured us both accurately and nicely.
Also, I could not agree more with what it said about San Fran. Never have I been to a city that was more beautiful and whose people I have despised more. God, they're asses.

I always like other cities and have a great time traveling, but I am always happy to come home.

The flying bullets help keep the suburban riff-raff out.

Snay: I can't believe they let schools out early today!

eebmore: I loved the Wonkette spot too, and yes, the people lucky enough to live in SF are some of the oddest folk ever.

cham: Yes, I'm proud of the bullet hole in my outdoor dining table. My mother was less enthusiastic.
