True, but they're a group. Coulter is, and Schlafly was, a one-woman hate machine.

I think of Phyllis Schlafly's death as untimely; she lived WAY too long.

Now that Phyllis Schlafly is dead, Ann Coulter has no competition left.

Gomez Addams is the best TV husband ever.

The grandfather in question was named Lawrence, my son's middle name is Laurence, after said grandfather. Oh, and my son's former stepmother (mother of his sisters) is an Olivier.

The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life. - Jane Addams (September 6, 1860 – May 21, 1935)

My grandfather was a sugar cane farmer (I'm Cajun), albeit in less humble circumstances than a plantation. Once my father-in-law (grandson of Greek immigrants, raised in New Orleans), who'd asked, was then puzzled by the concept of sugar cane farming. I bought him a book about it:

I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide

Sometimes bad luck hits you like in an ancient Greek tragedy, and it's not your own making. When you have a plane crash, it's not your fault. - Werner Herzog (b. 5 September 1942)

I couldn't find The Sixth Revelation's version for download, so went with Norma Fraser's. I updated my "Never Stop Praising Jah" playlist, so it's now:

I like Sheryl Crow's version, too. I just have a reggae fixation. I have a playlist called "Never Stop Praising Jah." It's includes Ernie from Sesame Street (Do de Rubber Duck) as well as Sylford Walker and Wilton Irie (Chant Down Babylon).

Awesome! I hope one of us wins this week!

So, I guessed Puzzlemaster Will Shortz's puzzle right away:

Next week's challenge, from listener Norm Baird of Toledo, Wash.: If you squish the small letters "r" and "n" too closely together, they look like an "m." Think of a common five-letter word with the consecutive letters "r" and "n" that becomes its own opposite if you change them to an "m."

I am a legal secretary, as is the coworker mentioned. The office tower is attached to an upscale mall, a hotel and the parking tower. (In that Tyler Perry Jesus show on Palm Sunday, Jesus sang a song atop the building.) Allegedly, the teenager who committed suicide had been shopping with her mother.

Happy Birthday, Mitzi Gaynor​ (b. September 4, 1931)

"Crime Story" was a good show. I miss Dennis Farina.

Thursday afternoon, a teenager committed suicide from the parking tower at the building where I work. I heard one coworker tell another what had happened, to which she loudly replied “WHO HAS THAT BAD A DAY!! I mean, I don’t wanna sound insensitive. . .” Heck of a job, Ashley.

It was mortifying to find how strong the habit of idle speech may become in one’s self. One need not always be saying something in this noisy world. - Sarah Orne Jewett (September 3, 1849 – June 24, 1909)

I'll have to ask him. It seems like Emeril isn't there very often, and I suspect that saying "Bam!" when he's there would piss him off, and when he's not there, the joke would only be funny once.
