I can't believe how many usually reasonable and intelligent people fell for her column! "Best takedown of Trump ever!" many liberals posted on Facebook and elsewhere. As though we should be cheering on her ideas of masculinity, or that it's not insulting to women for her to attack him for being, essentially, a stereotyped whiny, bitchy shrew. Her invocation of strong silent Gary Coopers is just cover for her dismay that Trump is not Reagan. She lives in a state of constant disappointment that Reagan is dead and gone, and that no one else will do. Please.

Dame Noonan has much in common with Melania. For example, they can both put a condom on with their mouths.

What? Too much?

Manuel deserves a raise. Or pay.

It was okay, but not great. I like fruity beers when it's hot outside, and make no apologies. In general my tastes run to pale beers like Belgian whites an hefeweizens, and I'm not a big fan of porters and stouts, so I'm excluded from the Serious Beer-drinkers Club.

there is...it's called 'a prescription for percocets from your pain management specialist'....but yeah, i know whatcha mean....some uh...friends o mine managed to get ahold of a baseball-size chunk of the real deal about 1973-4....the smell, mmm, intoxicating....but the good effects of it wear off after about the 3-4th party, and it's all just dope-sick maintenance (as in hrrr-ron and vikes and all the others) after that

Possibly a lesser known recording from 1940's off-color chanteuse, Rusty Warren, best known for "Knocker UP!"

Now I'm confused. Does that mean he grabs members of the opposite sex by himself?

TFS, you've outdone yourself this time--'digital Daleks'....'Internet Gehennas'...'Covfederate'...'purge like a common Khmer Rouge', and of course the final sentence

impressive, from the first sentence to the end, and every bit true

And most parts that are the inedible are nonpoisonous.
