A bit of news from my hometown:
More than 60 people, including the actress known as “Snoop” from the Baltimore-based HBO series “The Wire,” were arrested Thursday morning across the city and its surrounding counties in connection with a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation.
Raids were carried out in the pre-dawn hours by agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore police and a slew of other federal and state law enforcement agencies.
Makes me want to watch The Wire again.

The Wire is the best show to ever be on television.
Somewhere in B-more Cool Lester Smooth is taking down a wire tap.
When reached for comment, Senator Clay Davis said “Sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.”
[flashing back to that two-week stint when I watched all five seasons of the wire in one go]

This round of the theme is now stuck in my head.
Woah, I just watched the final episode of season 5 last night. I clicked through to The Sun’s website and was pleased to discover this headline, under the story of Snoop in the “most read” box:
Leather-clad rooster with Jesus head alights on West Baltimore rowhouse
I think you mean “Life Imitates Art Imitates Life”.
god, I love her voice.
