How about East St. Louis?

I’ve read all of Wolfe’s books but have to admit “The Right Stuff” was my 2nd favorite.

I didn’t like the man in “A Man in Full”——not my kind of guy. :-)

We won’t even drive I-70 anymore or go within 50 miles of any part of St. Louis. Last time we drove I-70 we saw a line of Highway patrol cars heading for Ferguson.

Yeah, the lead character in "A Man In Full" didn't appeal to me either. But I liked a lot of the side characters. My favorite one was Conrad, the one that went to prison and became a Stoic. Especially the part of the story when Conrad has the day from hell. While at a job interview in the city, his car gets towed and then his day gets progressively worse from there with his wife and mother-in-law ridiculing and belittling him over the phone as he gets deeper and deeper into the mess he's in.

Tom Wolfe is good at portraying somebody having a really, really bad day.

Don’t know about Burlington or Windsor, but you obviously haven’t been to Portland in a very long time.
My nephew works in Portland Oregon in law enforcement (Federal Marshal), he showed me the places even his own people won’t go into without full battle rattle and in force.
He told me in no uncertain terms to stay out of those parts of town while I was visiting.

This morning Joe Scarborough - who’s in the “Hillary Clinton Wing of the Republican Party” - wanted Trump to meet up with Corrupt Black Democrat Leaders of the Liberal Establishment...

It was nuts.

Trump’s doing the right thing - going right over the heads of the two percent of black elites living in the weathest ZIP codes clustered around Washington DC and talking directly to black citizens stuck in liberal created inner city hellholes. Trump’s NOT talking to those who feed off the corruption or the dependence - he’s talking to black everyday citizens...

Good for Trump.

[GOPJ]

Almost everyone knows the country's on the wrong track... well, except uniparty political elites living in some of the wealthiest zip codes in the country - - all clustered around Washington DC...

Living is good for the DC ‘elites’... nothing scary about their effing little world.. they live on the fat of the land.

As a pizza delivery driver in my youth, I ran over exactly 2 people.

Not 1, not 3.

[blueunicorn6]

So there you are.

And I’m still waiting for the breadsticks.

Just because I’m run over doesn’t mean I’m not hungry.

How many points were they worth?

Politicians must have made big money on the NAFTA scam... All 'legal' of course... they DO write the laws after all...

NAFTA - New Aztlan, F___ The Americans!

And, crossing into Canaduh to provide services is nastier than before NAFTA. I figured it would make our borders as easy to cross as it became in the EU. Nope, nastier. And most Canook border guards are in need of a full colonic, the anal-retentive, power-tripping, Pierre-kissing putzes.
