From the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library here in Soltree, Savannah, Georgia, this is obscure season 4 in American tragedy.

I am your host, your friend, your ear lover, and literary Mansplainer in chief Michael Ian Black just returned from Naples, Florida where I got into an

time, Hortense Briggs, you know, they tumbled around in the car and Hortense Briggs.

Found her face to be all bloodied and modeled and she thought,

my God, they've sullied my beauty and what does she do? She goes dashing off all by herself. I mean look the kids in shock there's no getting
