Trucks have their place, but I wish that America would re-emphasize trains.

Yup. This one has been persistent for well over a month. I didn’t write down exactly when it started happening, but I started posting about it soon after it started happening. I mention it regularly in posts to authors and editors.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just cleared the cache. It didn’t help. But it was worth a try.

I just read a story about Brian May and his astrophysics PhD. He started his PhD in the ‘70s, and finished it in 2007, after a minor interruption to become the guitarist of Queen.

Please help me understand: is the issue that this candidate was trying to use his sexual innuendos to seduce you, or harass you, or demean you, or is he just clueless and tasteless, or something else? I feel as if there’s something left unsaid. No problem if you prefer to leave it unsaid.

So, is your definition of a “lie” that you disagree with someone’s opinion? If so:

You rail against the two party system. The problem for you, is that the two party system is baked into the very structure of the government. You can hold the opinion that it is “garbage,” but that does not change the fact that it exists, and we have to operate within it at least for the foreseeable future.
