Not hotter than ours. (Coincidentally, I'm watching the Australian Open as I type this.)

OK, this is very superficial, tangential, and to a large extent uninformed, because I haven't spent any time around prostitutes, whether Russian or American. But I feel like there's this idea, even outside of Russia and among at least some Americans, that Russian women (not specifically prostitutes) are renowned for…

A fine cheat sheet. But go to a South Indian restaurant and treat yourself to dosas, upma, and idlis and sambar.

Here's the thing that infuriated me the most today, from an article in the Post about how Trump, though vocal and in the news, is perhaps strangely isolated in his tower, rarely venturing outside or encountering people he doesn't already know:

That was a lovely essay.

Somewhere I have copies of the Los Angeles Times from Dec. 31, 1999, and Jan. 1, 2000, that I've saved as souvenirs from the "millennium". George was stabbed by a home intruder on Dec. 30, and that was front-page news on Dec. 31. Everything else on the front page was related to the date/new year, so what had happened…

P.S. — Forgive the lateness of my reply.

You have good taste. Just as I can't pick a favorite Beatle, I can't pick a favorite Beatles song. But, um, my username would be on my shortlist. It has a gentle warmth, in its spirit and lyrics and even sound, that I adore. We all need that from time to time. It always makes me smile.

Interesting. But I'll chalk this up as another of those things John was wrong about. And I'll stand by my assertion that it was a good thing the Beatles broke up, if staying together meant turning into ELO.

Oh, I feel confident that you or I or anyone could take them in a fight. (And I'm a 5-foot-7 guy who's never been in a real fight.) I can't see guys who are that old and dumb (and fat, at least in Trump's case) being any good in a fight. They'd probably fight dirty. And you'd probably still kick their asses. (You'd…

Yeah, no one else has ever wanted to bring back jobs and make the economy strong.

No one on the Steelers can return a kickoff. (Any other Steelers fans out there might appreciate this.)

That will probably lead them to talk about the emasculating of America, and how having skimpily-attired women prancing about for men to ogle is part of what makes American great (a la Andrew Puzder), and how those cheerleaders who were seeking higher wages and better working conditions should shut up and be happy that…

I avoid Super Bowl parties for the same reason. I went to one a few years ago, for the first time in I don't know how many years, and it was awful — even though I was with some very good friends. (It was also a crappy game — Seattle-Denver — which didn't help, but still.)

I think this is a pregame interview, not a "mid-game" interview. I stopped watching pregame shows a long time ago, and I stopped watching Super Bowl pregame shows an even longer time ago. I feel even better about those decisions today.

I heard some radio DJ once say, after playing some ELO song, that people thought ELO sounded like what the Beatles might have sounded like if they'd stayed together. And then I thought it was probably a good thing that the Beatles broke up.

I think John and Paul did a good bit of that — collaborating in the same room — in the early days, when they were just starting and spent a lot of time on the road and in hotel rooms, and less of it as the years went by.

I love them all, and I can't pick a favorite or diminish any of them, because each one was vital to the whole. But I have soft spots for Paul (because so many people seem to think John was the leader) and George (because he was so good while laboring in the shadow of John and Paul).

I'm in complete agreement with you regarding the CGI characters.
