Sounds good, except that you haven’t seen the next version of The Donald, which is the one to be scare about.

This is going to sound insensitive, so let me start by noting that assuming the report about his behaviour is true she deserves to (a) receive ALL his money (b) see him strung up somewhere near his hme and covered in tar and feathers before being thrown in a damp, dark cell for the rest of his life.

Do you bring a drinking straw to a gun fight? Take a look in the mirror ...

“You know, we have, we had great generals in this country. Well, we have them still, somewhat. But I want to remind you that one of those great generals, a good friend of mine by way, great guy, love him, anyway, he once said, or maybe it was kissinger but i don’t think so because kissinger irritated me and i love…

Her major role in “Trainwreck” has been widely discussed. Did you catch her in “Spy”? Awesome.

I don’t want to rain on your parade (if only because I’ll no doubt be told that I’m mansplaining). I suspect we’re a roughly similar age. I remember Esprit too.

We have a local version of this where the number of donuts you eat on the run reduces your official finish time by some amount per donut. My wife (at some point a nationally ranked tri/duathlete) always beats one of her friends/competitors, except at the Donut Derby, simply because she gets massively out-eaten :)

Problem number one: TBS. Lets hope that put up non-Flash based video in a sensible place so that it can go suitably viral.

Anyone who grew up with Thatcher as their prime minister (or even “The Prime Minister of the UK”) understands at a deep and very basic level how fatuous the idea of “voting for a woman” can be. Voting for the right person - doubleplus good. “Voting for a woman” - more or less devoid of any inherent content. “Voting…

“Black and White” by Michael Smith

I am roughly 100% certain that Maher wasn’t joking with that remark.

But .. but ... there was no social media back when all this happened. It can’t possibly have any relevance to anything like that happening today!

There’s no universals here, I think. We went quite the opposite way: the early years were difficult (business-like on the surface, but emotionally rough on us both). As time went on, we become pretty good friends, to the point of celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas at each other houses at some points. That’s…

I was born in the UK. My daughter was born in the USA, with an American mother, after I had already lived here for more nearly a decade. She’s no more deserving of being labelled “British” than Kingsley is of being labelled Asian. Which is to say that sure, maybe some small element of a parent’s heritage gets picked…

When we get down to citing Ben Kingsley as an “Asian”, things have really hit a real low. Wikipedia:

Then you need to see them in Stormy Weather too:

Thanks for a nuanced and relevant answer. Now I see the mistake in my thinking.

Do you really believe that Tangerine would have been nominated for anything, regardless of who had directed it? Or even which actors had roles in it?

I wasn’t suggesting that you don’t understand marginal tax rates. You complained about the overall complexity of the tax code, attempting to link that with the article’s explanation of most people’s failure to understand marginal tax rates. I was seeking to point out that these two things are not related.

All tax systems embody certain ends and even certain means. All tax systems encourage certain behaviour and discourage other behaviour. If you want to encourage savings and investment, then a tax system based on sales tax is possibly a good move.
