A. W. Merrick quotes from Deadwood

[To Charlie about Wild Bill Hickok] What a grand surprise. I never thought he'd live long enough for me to meet him.

The economic aspect is one fabric in the tapestry of journalism.

Swearengen

Lot, before God, could make no case for that food.

Lot's wife may have been in that food.

George Hearst

George Hearst

You are less majestically neutral than cloaking your cowardice in principle?
