You will never hear a better version of Black Coffee (Bonnie on lead vocal), and it feels appropriate.

FOLLOW-UP: 60 Minutes just reported that (exactly as I said above), the BLS “misclassified” 5 million furloughed employees as ‘employed' - and in fact the unemployment rate went up 3% to >16%

This is part of what I was describing. Your employer is staying just within the minimum requirements of the PPP and will get their loan forgiven, in spite of having effectively cut their payroll for the 90 days. The balance of what they “borrowed” - they get to keep.

Related: the bullshit Bureau of Labor Statistics claim that 2 million jobs were “created” rather than lost last month is a total obfuscation and misrepresentation of what happened. The $2 trillion Payroll Protection Plan (passed in April) kicked in. In order to qualify, companies put furloughed employees back on…

Worth noting that at Nuremberg, lower level officers were successful with the “following orders” defense. Though convicted, many got relatively short prison terms.

Is this Lady G?

Does this mean veal is ok again?

Well, as they would say, "bless their hearts."

Trump’s Moses act would be more klutzy but far less funny than Mel Brooks’ Moses.

It’s 2020. Shouldn’t Carole Baskin be the villianess?

As modeled here by Laura Ingraham?

Pseudo?

I like her kids’ names; they fit with the surname Upton. Except Roman; that one sounds like “roamin’ uptown”.

Exactly. They were the New Agers of the 18th century. If Jefferson were around now, he probably wouldn’t be Goop; he’d be that ageing progressive humanities professor with tenure in some elite private university who’s still wearing a blend of sandalwood & patchouli and expounds endlessly on polyamory.

They were very careful with their verbiage (“creator” is a much more Enlightenment Era way of phrasing it than what today’s bible thumping politicians would use).

I’ve always preferred “America The Beautiful”. It’s a better song, describes natural beauty., not bombs, and it has a range people can sing.

Let’s not forget the pledge of allegiance (which all public school children are obligated to recite every morning, regardless of their families’ positions on religion).

So it's a curiously tainted love?

“Bill De Blasio has never been very popular with the people who voted him into power...” Yet he won his first term with 69% of the vote and his second term with 62% of the vote. Not too shabby.

Not so incidental to your comment about the parts being written for the stars: LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME and FUNNY GIRL were written by the same screenwriter, ISOBEL LENNART.
