On vocabulary, words like "be" are actually concepts, with many forms, and there may be numerous synonyms for the same concept (fast and quick, etc.). What would really be useful would be a concept list, and here is one:

Note to non-profits: You don't care that I've expressed a desire not to be called, but I'm going to donate to your cause. Yeah. How does that work, exactly?

No, blame the passengers. If people were willing to pay the real costs of doing business we wouldn't have this problem. But to save a few bucks on fare, people said it would be okay to brown-bag on flights, so now there's virtually no meal service. And to save a few bucks on tickets, we now have check-in fees.

I think instead of "Painter of Light," he should be called "Painter of Slush." Not for his style (although that works, too) but have you even noticed how many of his paintings are just after a snowstorm with deep ruts in the snow in the road? Looks so picturesque, unless you live where it actually happens and can…

I seriously doubt two remote control helicopters can lift a person, even the lithe young lady in the video. But if they can, do they do home delivery?

Talk about short sighted. How about #2: Use less. Demand drops and the price drops as well. Because what will you say. years from now, after you've used up all your reserves in the ground, and you really need reserves? 700 million barrels will supply U.S. oil needs for five weeks.

The late, great and sorely underrated Art Hoppe once wrote a column about a guy at a sporting event who refused to stand for the national anthem, calling it an empty exercise. A fight broke out, and he was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Note to these guys and many, many others all the way back to Jose Feliciano 40 years ago:

Surprising that Robocop and Rollerball were pretty much silly popcorn flicks at the time, but in retrospect were pretty incisive social commentaries. That the remakes completely miss. Or maybe not. Watch the remakes in 2020 and see.

This can't help but seem offensive from some points of view, but it's not meant to.

Night of the Lepus! I have long dreamed of a "Star Trek - The Lost Years" film festival featuring the dreck Star Trek actors were in between TOS and the revival. Shatner's "White Comanche" would also be included.

It's a slow loris! Run for your lives! Slowly. Okay, walk for your lives.

Didn't stick the landing. 3.5

Nothing. The only things of significance are altitude and latitude.

I'm a Republican (nowadays a RINO) raised monolingual but now speak German, Spanish and Russian, and working on several others. Turn off Duck Dynasty, you lazy freeloaders. How many Americans died in Iraq and Afghanistan because of having to rely on local interpreters of dubious loyalty?

This is a mystery. Manning is as good as they come. You don't get into the Super Bowl by being mediocre. These guys are trained and know the game.

True. ScarJo lost her endorsement deal for a humanitarian outfit because SodaStream is manufactured in the West Bank on Palestinian land.
