There’s a classic sketch bit about this. Guy says, ‘don’t you know who I am?’ Service rep to the other people in line, ‘Does anyone here recognize this gentleman? He seems to not know who he is.’

And Ted Cruz.

Also, some 1200 miles of the US/Canadian border is, you know, water. Would be very interesting to see the wall that’s engineered to be built in the middle of the Great Lakes. It could become one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World.

My father’s caregiver was beyond odd, but she was an excellent caregiver, so we all put up with a lot of strangeness with her. She was really very sweet. She also had a stalker. There was no calling the cops, as this was a small town and—ta da—he was a cop.

Sadly, she can’t be fired because hers is an elected position. She can be recalled, or she can quit or, failing either of those, be turned out of office in the next election.

Bush getting credit for saving NOLA after Katrina is akin to a lifeguard throwing someone into the deep end and then taking credit for rescuing them from drowning.

My ‘rents lived in Western PA and bought a place in S. Fla to go to in the winters. As you know, winters in PA are fierce! There were so many expats from PA in the condo community where they lived (5 months out of the year) that there was a club, called the Pennsylvanians.

Team Nobody.

And ‘babymoon’ inspires the same level of rage in me, as well.

The NY Times (of which I am a devotee) does that ish all the time. Jams 2, 3 sometimes 4 letters into a single square.

True story. I’ve had cats over 40 years (obvi not the same cats) and one of the cats needed a prescription diet. Not wanting to commit to the cost of a case of Science Diet, the vet offered to give me the recipe so that I could make it myself. The ingredients were easily gotten and I followed the directions OK.

Nonononono. You have it backwards.

Every Jewish holiday can be summed up in 3 phrases:

All the stars! A Perseid meteor shower full of stars! Everyone else might as well go home now.

Throat, perfect for punching.

I love Southwest and fly them as often as possible. I’ve never had anything taken from my luggage. Although one time, my bag inexplicably went to BUF (Buffalo) even though it was labeled BUR (Burbank). When I got it back, it was wrapped in clear tape for reasons unknown to me.

And it’s given itself stars! Not sure why it’s got stars.

Bacon waffles with chicken. Yes, it’s a thing. A very, very delicious thing.

I speak 3 languages. Not only was I born here, so were both of my parents. So...second generation. I get a tickle out of my ability to speak these languages, because I can eavesdrop on other people when they have no idea that I can understand them.

There’s no being fair to the gluten-free vegetarian. She ordered the salmon.
