Good morning, everyone. I spent some time this weekend at the movies (See “Gravity,” dear Flashees) and saw “Runner, Runner,” the Ben Affleck-Justin Timberlake vehicle about a web poker kingpin. The fact that it is not a good movie and may not do well at the box office may be a godsend for the gamers. Folks, this is all but a manifesto AGAINST Internet poker (spoiler alert!) because it argues that cheating can occur and player accounts are not safe. No one, my dear AGA, is going to come out of...
So in Thursday's episode of "Parks and Recreation," the producers were looking for a City Hall to symbolize extravagance in a city that has nearly gone bankrupt.
Don't tell The Family Goodman -- although the city must have given permission, right? -- but look what they used:
I don't watch the program, but one of my Twitter followers, @vegaspixie, pointed me to it. Pretty funny, eh, City Council?

“I think he was trying to explain to people how we got where we are and where we are now,” said state Treasurer Kate Marshall, who was on the call along with every other Democratic constitutional officer, a few lawmakers and local government officials...
Good morning, everyone. “Harry Reid does not want to compromise at all,” Manu Raju, the estimable Politico congressional reporter said this morning on “The Daily Rundown.” And on Reid and John Boehner: “They hate each other.” Well, that all bodes well, n-est-ce pas?
Raju also pointed viewers to this Politico piece on the four feuding leaders. In that story, Reid is said to have called the speaker a “coward” more than once. Worth the click, dear Flashees.
What’s below: Cloudy in Sandoville,...
Good morning, everyone What’s worse – being heartless or dirty? Such is the dilemma facing Senate Majority Leader Harry “I am not a criminal” Reid this morning, after a MSNBC story (with a quote from your favorite Flasher) and the GOP trying to exploit this videowith a HeartlessHarry Twitter hashtag. The video controversy is nonsense and emblematic of what this debate is all about now: Positioning. But give the GOP ammunition to pummel the Democrats’ No. 1 hit man, and Republicans will fire...
