This is just for--well--imagine how such a brief sentence could end.
I know. This is just for "zest."
Very brief news-style report from CBS News, Denver.
YouTube video content; 43 seconds.

"I can't get enough of this story. Set me up for a deep dive, dude."
OK.
"The Black caucus told us there was a problem. And then along came Buckwheat."
| quote | | The explosive confrontation on the Colorado House floor between Representatives Holtorf and Sullivan was not just remarkable. It was also inevitable. |

A bit of a read, but I won't Read-o-Meter it. Looks like about 4 minutes, to me. Columnist Mike Littwin cuts a very rustic looking figure. Small photo in side bar.
A layup here. A "no brainer." But I do not answer to "post whore." I seldom take note of that number.

Who are you trying to BS?
You couldn't do a "deep dive" if you had an anvil chained around you and were dropped from a helicopter into the middle of a Norwegian fjord.

Nobody remembers Stymie.

Anybody else make Buckwheat? We did when I was a kid. Probably because we were poor.

Anybody remember a time when insults and slurs were a sign of friendship and familiarity, nobody got offended or twisted panties and somehow we all managed to work, laugh, and live together ?

Smathers told an audience of bumpkins that incumbent Claude Pepper was “a known extrovert,” practiced “celibacy” before marriage, practiced “nepotism” with his sister-in-law, “matriculated” with women in college, that his sister was “a thespian” and his brother “a practicing homo sapien.”
