"All the gravitas of an aspiring Bravolebrity" was such a hard slap that I got whiplash. And a hearty laugh. But @kirflem will be hearing from my accident lawyer.

Of course, defense attorneys (the co-authors of this blather) would argue that law enforcement has no compelling interest in policing the sports gambling market. So, too, would Ivy League grads whose alma maters have championed the collapse of ethics in America.

ANALYSIS: The FBI director called the allegations in the NBA betting scandal an "insider-trading saga for the NBA." Putting aside the visceral appeal, are these allegations actually comparable to criminal insider trading in the securities regime?

Today's announcement of Coca-Cola's Holiday Creamy Vanilla reminds me of the time I ordered a Blue Moon. When the bartender hands me the beer with an orange slice, I barked "Do I look like a girl to you?" The poor guy sheepishly said, "That's how it comes."

“So who is the real @MrMikeBlake? Just a few months ago, when he asked me to endorse him in the mayoral primary (despite his inability to garner even 1%), he referred to himself as the most pro-Israel candidate in the race, with a record to reflect that,” said @SEichenstein.

Rep. Greg Meeks delivers the closing remarks at Julie Menin’s speaker reception. I asked him to confirm if he supports her on the way in. “I’m here!” he said. A snippet of his speech here that illustrates his argument in metaphor. Essentially: Menin will bring people together.
