At the park

It is altogether the most amusing, delightful, funny and yet saddest thing to witness.

Baltimore, Maryland
I am going to Baltimore for Labor Day. I’ve never been, though I think about 8 years ago I may have driven through the city.
Any recommendations? Things to do/see/drink/eat? Anything I should avoid?

Marshall: No, no, Ted, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It would be the fourth worst thing. Number one, supervolcano. Number two, an asteroid hits the earth. Number three, all footage of Evil Knievel is lost. Number four, Ted calls Karen. Number five, Lily gets eaten by a shark.
Lily: I'm Lily and I approve the order of that list.

EXACTLY.
Betsy McCaughey: You're so rich. You can afford to provide care for anybody in your family, whatever they need.
Jon Stewart: That's right. That's why I don't mind being taxed a little more to help people who are not in as favorable a situation. I don't mind that. In fact, I welcome it, because it's a way for me to give back to the country that has allowed me to come this far.
