The better than best part is that Singer was caught because one of his clients squealed trying to get out of a securities fraud charge. WSJ broke the story on “Yale dad” Morrie Tobin (paywall). If you’re in the 99% like me, here’s a summary at The Daily Beast.

The parents may well have made false statements on tax returns. Some (many/most/all) paid Singer through Key West Foundation, a 501(c)3 charity. If any parent used a charitable “donation” as a tax deduction, there may be related charges.

Perhaps the most egregious and under-covered aspect of this story is the use of a charitable foundation to funnel the money. The parents may have used the receipts as to get tax deductions. Upside: tax fraud charges.

That or transcription of the monologues is a staff task allowing Individual-1 to “read” later.

Some people are saying feckless but I couldn’t possibly comment.

I heard this riddle as a child before I saw it on All in the Family. Archie Bunker’s head exploded for the “mom surgeon” answer. It’s fun imagining his “gay dad” response! I wonder what Rob Reiner would have to say on the matter.

And I had my fingers crossed but only on one hand because two hands reverses the counter-jinx effect.

I’m glad I didn’t know the correct #, if you know what I mean.

Would be marriage #3 for her, #2 for him. WTF do they want to get married?

In 1989 in Canada, a man in a similar situation filed for an injunction preventing a pregnant woman from obtaining an abortion. He won at first filing but was eventually overturned in a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of Canada. AP Report. Key names: Tremblay, Daigle, Bedard, Decary, Ruby

At the very least, he could/should have done the research and developed a position before going on The Breakfast Club, given its profile and audience.

As I said, they’ll rent the spines. Your prediction is probable because they want to avoid the late fees.

Oops. I forgot about vote trading with Dems in red states like Manchin. See PooJavelin’s post, 4 minutes later than mine immediately above this one.

Something most people learn only by reading the patient information pamphlet: an established non-therapeutic effect of statins is short-term memory loss.

Being #52 or 55 doesn’t take as much courage as it does to be the deciding vote. Paul’s decision to be the 51st vote to support disapproval of the emergency may have made it easier for other R-senators to rent a spine and follow suit.

Good point. At the time of the Meghan-Harry wedding, I remember reading that the Queen has legal custody of all grand-children and great-grandchildren.

If I recall correctly, young infants see and react to monochromatic white-gray-black objects and that later primary colors become more attractive. At least the white/gray offers a decent base for bright reds, yellows, and blues.

There are versions of keto — more precisely described as low-carb or paleo — that exclude only grains (wheat, rice, oats, quinoa, etc.), starchy root vegetables (potatoes, yams, taro), and high-sugar fruit while including other produce such as leafy greens, stem vegetables like celery, and low-sugar high-fiber fruits…

I think the numbers you list are for adult males and that the category thresholds (optimal, healthy, overweight, etc.) for women’s body fat are higher.

How meta-amphibian.
