I told my grandson that when he was 6. He said thank you and 30 seconds later he said, "That's actually kind of an insult"! I said, Oh, I see how you could take it that way. I was proud of him for catching It!

I love the Dresden Files, I am sad, after waiting so long for the next one, it is an anthology of ones I have already read.

Forever FLOTUS Michelle Obama says the White House is the people's house.

I'm going to go with her interpretation.

He really was a model of restraint, n'EST-ce pass?

And most media outlets refuse to call it what it is.

He really is as dumb as he looks. And that is amazing.Even Ike Clanton in "Tombstone" at one point elicited the dry low compliment from Wyatt, "You're not as stupid as you look, are you?"

Dick Gregory too. Wiki notes this routine, from 1961:

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I understand there are a good many Southerners in the room tonight. I know the South very well. I spent twenty years there one night.

Last time I was down South I walked into this restaurant and this white waitress came up to me and said, "We don't serve colored people here." I said, "That's all right. I don't eat colored people. Bring me a whole fried chicken."

Then these three white boys came up to me and said, "Boy, we're giving you fair warning. Anything you do to that chicken, we're gonna do to you." So I put down my knife and fork, I picked up that chicken and I kissed it. Then I said, "Line up, boys!"
