If I was a stoic, I wouldn’t be annoyed that Maria Semple just called Epictetus a Roman philosopher on NPR.

The man is already a White Sox fan, how many more crosses does he need?

The experts in question are obviously not Waffle House experts.

At the Housing Development Consortium's annual event, Mayor Katie Wilson just announced that the city will "revisit the original phases three and four" of the comprehensive plan "to be far more aggressive with our timeline and scope."
