I met Marlon Peterson in 2009, a few months after he'd completed ten years of a 12-year sentence for first degree assault and third degree weapons possession. While Marlon was inside, I read his blog and some of the correspondences he'd exchanged with Nadia Lopez's eighth graders. I was amazed not simply by Marlon's…

You could probably re-assemble a large part of the entire run of The Wire just from the gifs obsessive fans have posted to Tumblr. A new robot spoofs fandom by automatically and arbitrarily creating gifs from The Wire and uploading them to Tumblr.
Earlier today, Mitt Romney made a big deal out of telling everyone that he's, "never paid less than 13 percent" in taxes. And, of course, he still won't provide his tax returns, so we'll just have to trust him, okay?
Huge fan of HBO's cult police procedural The Wire and campaign fundraisers that are unironically attended by the show's cast members? Have at least $500 to spare? Then you're in luck!

Last night while taking refuge from the Super Bowl I tuned into the second episode of Luck, HBO's new horse racing show. I fell asleep, just as I did during the first episode. Yes, I know this is supposed to be a "slow burn," but how long am I supposed to wait before feeling the heat?
The Wire is one of my favorite shows of all time and, yes, one of the best shows ever on television. That does not mean a show about urban blight, broken systems, drug dealers, and the strange Baltimore accent is going to get you laid. Probably the opposite in fact. But that doesn't mean people aren't using The Wire…
Yes, Omar Little was booked on possession of a handgun in Baltimore this weekend. No, silly, it's not Omar Little the awesome gay vigilante who terrorized the drug dealers of Charm City that we all rooted for on The Wire, this was a real Omar Little. Turns out, he also favors a life of crime.

Many people have likened bygone critical favorite The Wire to a Dickens novel, but Sean Michael Robinson and Joy Delyria went a step further and reimagined the series as an actual Victorian novel. The results and just as fantastic as the show itself.
Last night, Big Love signed off after five (uneven) seasons. The way it went out may have some people divided. Just what does the audience want when one of our beloved shows goes off the air for good?
Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, the former gang banger who wound up playing a sinister yet lovable hitwoman on HBO's acclaimed The Wire, was arrested this morning in a big Baltimore drug raid. Hopefully Marlo can sort this all out.
