I hear you, but this was not really like that. I live in the next state over. The temperatures from Saturday night into Sunday morning were very very extreme, even for the Upper Midwest. We’re talking “frostbite in 10 minutes”.

In context, in 2 Corinthians 3:17, Paul appears to be reminding the Corinthians that the Spirit of the Lord reveals the truth about the Lord’s glory. (Which constitutes “freedom” because previously this truth was “veiled”.)

You can draw your own conclusions about what this incident reveals about Trump’s “glory”.

No, no, no! The REAL Christians say “epistle”. Since you use “letter”, I can tell you’re one of those back-sliders who probably doesn’t even believe that Jesus spoke King James English!

To be fair, probably half of the Confirmation students I’ve ever had would have said “two Corinthians” at some point. Some of them would have mispronounced “Corinthians”, too.

I work with a lot of new parents. They’re always completely exhausted, no matter what their age.

Yeah, if they tried this in Minnesota, people would be distracted by wondering if the reporters were warm enough and wouldn’t pay any attention to the news. They would have concerned elderly viewers calling and writing in.

If you’re going to forbid talking about all things that are not mentioned in the Bible, you’re going to have to fire the entire chemistry department, too (among others).

I loooooove her expression in this photo, though. It’s like, “HA! I have convinced all the people that this giant walrus is ART! I WIN!!!!” (Not to say that it isn’t art, but it’s the kind of art that people question.)

The thing is, the Mall of America deliberately chose such a ridiculously grandiose name (“Mall of America” - seriously, it’s basically just three malls stacked on top of each other) because of the enormous symbolism attached to it. They bank on that. They market based on that. People from around the world fly into MSP…

But to hold protests at a Mall though? Who is going to listen there.

Can we have an article on “How to NOT Read an Entire Book in a Single Day” next? For people who basically have the opposite problem, obviously.

From my extensive research on the subject (i.e. watching Project Runway), it is easier to make clothes that fit models with straighter figures. It is easier to sew a straight line. (It is objectively more difficult to fit curves.)

I’ve also heard it said that models are actually supposed to be like a clothes-hanger. At…

Emphasis on almost always. Does this law allow for exceptions?

I like to say “Happy Advent”. It confuses people. They don’t know if they’re supposed to be offended or not.

This is true. Christmas is in a war against Advent, but technically it’s not really a war anymore because hardly anyone celebrates Advent and people tend to think the “12 Days of Christmas” are the twelve days before December 25.

I like to say “Happy Advent” to the War-on-Christmas people. It confuses them. They don’t…

I am actually a Christian, and I could probably use your post in a sermon if I changed the language a little. It’s that good. Have a happy whatever-holiday-you-want-to-have!

To be fair, another good reason for not specifying the country would be because your average American does not know where the countries in Africa are, anyway, so “West Africa” is probably as specific as is really helpful.

(True story: I am getting ready to go to South Africa soon. People ask me where that is.)

Is there any way to get even a copy of the theatrical release of the Special Edition? I’ll accept CGI Jabba and Greedo shooting first (so I can have something to argue with) if that’s what it takes to get the original ghostly Anakin at the end of RotJ. (No whiny teenagers! ARGH!)

Either because they can’t be bothered to differentiate between different countries (because that would require a modicum of respect for the local culture) or because their “mission” work involves doing things that are unethical and possibly illegal and they don’t want to get caught and/or prosecuted.

Your kids will either share your genetic material (which is a pretty strong connection) or else you will have changed their diapers and/or driven them to school every day or whatever (which is also a pretty strong connection). Names don’t make them more or less yours.

Other people will complain if it’s not…
