I like most wines and most cheeses, but for some reason I just can’t stand the tastes of any wine and any cheese together. I’d rather have a cup of tea with my cheese.

Why is it that assholes can’t spell?

I wonder if this was one source of the infamous “candle salad” or “flagpole salad” that kept — er, popping up in 1960s cookbooks.

Whenever Trump uses the term “unfair”, it makes me feel sick. As far as Orange Julius Caesar is concerned, unfairness is defined as any act that doesn’t include licking his gold-plated boots.

I don’t have a problem with crude comedy in general, nor with entertainment that leans either left or right, but if I were an Adult Swim executive, I’d certainly draw the line at swastikas and other “coded racist messages”. Adult Swim isn’t constitutionally required to be a megaphone for obnoxious bigots.

There’s an important piece of information missing from the above. No candidate in any of our lifetimes — Republican, Democratic, or third-party — has ever done these things in public while campaigning for a party nomination or the Presidency:

I don’t think Trump has ever given a minute of thought to anything he’s ever either promoted or opposed in public. Building a border wall? Nope. Registering Muslims? Nope. Repealing the ACA or ending NAFTA? Nope. He doesn’t read, doesn’t consider anything in depth, and doesn’t care whether he even understands the…

Either that or else it’s a sign that a pair of clueless computer n00bs have found each other and want to revel openly in their technical illiteracy. If I were going to start a 419 scam*, I might start by mining social media accounts for couples in that situation!

We know how to get into each other’s computers in case of an emergency, but I don’t mess around with Mr. Sububi’s devices and have no reason to believe that he would do so with mine. I honestly don’t want us to know every little idea or fantasy that goes through each others’ minds; there are times you just want to be…

Another creepy-BIL story, this one starting in the 1930s: When my mother was 16, she learned to keep away from her older sister’s boyfriend — then in his mid-twenties — because he was hitting on Mom while dating said (unsuspecting) big sister. Mom successfully avoided him, but he did marry my aunt and have a family…

From the latest news reports, it looks like this is what happened:

I agree with Acorn. I remember some people (mostly male) unleashing their inner concern trolls when Torrid came along. I mean, they seriously acted like they believed young women would deliberately gain weight just to be able to shop there.

The dearly departed Coldwater Creek used to do that. A lot of their clothing had misses, petite, and plus versions. If you saw, for instance, a pair of jeans you really liked there, it didn’t matter whether you were a 4 or a 2X or a 12P; once you found the style, you could look for your size.

I don’t see this throwing the election to Trump. I do see it as consuming a lot of Hillary Clinton’s time for months, almost certainly for no good reason.

Cook has been called a “dangerous alpha male” and this, it seems, is an inaccurate assessment of what’s really going on.

I’m cheered by imagining the name of the event changed to “Alfred E. Neuman Memorial Dinner”.

Here’s what I don’t get about birtherism. The whole issue is easily disproved anyway, but:

Exactly. I’m no fan at all of the GWB administration and its policies, but Rice is a professional who was eminently qualified for her position. Trump is burning bridges with conventionally conservative Republicans, and this is just a continuation of that effort, so — Go ahead and be obnoxious to other Republicans,…

If I ever experience a medical emergency on board an aircraft, the last thing I’d want is for flight attendants to block the path of a physician who volunteered to help while asking her inane questions.

BTW, I love your handle!
