Pertinent Baltimore Blog Crusade: fighting annoying advertising circulars

May 27th, 2010 | 9 Comments

You know them, you hate them. Advertising circulars cluttering up your stairways, mailboxes, windshields, only to end up laying the gutter and adding to the city’s litter problem. Fortunately, our good curmudgeonly blogger in arms JJT has started his very own crusade against these papery menaces, the battle lines being drawn in SoBo’s Pigtown.

But damn, every so often I just get so irritated by the way she condescends to some guests she doesn’t agree with, interrupts people, interviews whimsical authors of plays about traveling wicker salesmen (probably), and more recently – well since the ’08 campaign began at least – her constant fellating of Barack Obama. It’s like every single topic, sentence, thought, syllable is directly filtered through some sort of Obama-lens – “How can I relate this discussion about three bean chili to Barack Obama?” This phenomenon perfectly illustrated itself the other day. I … Read entire article »
