A final thought on Dan Snyder
July 22, 2023
I’m trying to think of a public figure in the DMV who has been as consistently reviled as Dan Snyder. The top sports story in yesterday’s Washington Post detailed the relief and joy felt by every sports fan at Snyder’s no longer being the Redskins/Commander’s owner. He effectively ruined the Washington franchise single handedly over his 20-year stewardship.
Mayor-for-life Marion Barry had staunch defenders to the end; Trump still has a fervent following. Buffoons, criminals, reprobates, swindlers and bastards galore have populated the region throughout my life here, but none that I can recall who’ve had the contempt and loathing heaped on them like Snyder.
Maybe the Beltway snipers? Whatever, good riddance
Our ability to blow shit up isn’t effective use of power or wise strategy. The Iran attack is yet another misbegotten escapade.
People are paying thousands per ticket to see one former Eagle lip synch. This isn't nostalgia; it’s lunacy.
When it comes to poetry, I'm still moved by rhyme and meter. Send me to jail.
How badly is the audience for indie films really shrinking?
A man completely lacking in propriety, decency, decorum, and respect.
Was Frank Gehry’s influence on architecture as profound as his admirers claim?
China has taken our IP, replaced our workers, and is aiming to make Apple a “joint venture”.
After a more than a half-century of outstanding journalism, Jeff Bezos now uses the Post’s editorial influence to shill for lower taxes and attack straw-man “socialism”.
