“Red Delicious” can go to hell. Gravenstein apples are prized in North America, Europe and New Zealand, but they’re hard to get because the season is short and production is low. There is an annual cult meeting apple fair in Sonoma County, California in August.

Let’s not forget to save room for torture advocate and former VP Dick Cheney, who got five draft deferments and allegedly told a reporter “I had other priorities in the ‘60s than military service.”

I read that as a mistaken transcription of “when she” - as in “how Miss Vietnam acts when she doesn’t understand what someone is saying.”

It seems to me that many countries have a version of this cookie/biscuit with regional variations - Greek kourabiedes, polvorónes, Mexican/Italian wedding cookies, etc.  If yours have eggs and almonds and no walnuts, so be it!  I would give the Czech version a try.

Excellent GIF choice, and it would have been on another level if Pelosi had said the line that came right before this one.

I don’t know about revisionism, but it was covered by Jack Mirkinson on the sister site, Splinter, after this comment was posted.

Am I the only one who’s over those expensive (US$1,000+) Canada Goose jackets?  I see them everywhere.  Meanwhile a friend of mine is begging people through social media to donate sleeping bags so that homeless people in my city don’t freeze to death on the sidewalk.

This is one of those very few instances where I feel justified skipping the article and heading straight to the comments, because LOOK. AT. HIM.

Unfortunately, Tsambhi Lorren’s votes are impossible to tally because no one spells her name the same.

I live in Pennsylvania and Hershey’s chocolate is rubbish. Yes, I said it.

In the Bay Area, my parents and grandparents played Pedro (pronounced “peedro”), which is vaguely similar to those card games. Not sure how popular it is elsewhere.

They politely hated it in classic Midwestern fashion.

I’m sure many dishes prepared by the package’s instructions pretend to be “old family recipes”.

Slate did an article about this in 2009 which said it has no place on a Thanksgiving table because fresh green beans are generally out of season by then. Obviously one can use frozen or canned (ugh) beans.

Keep in mind, this is the same Philadelphia Fox news studio that recorded the infamous interview with “sex idiot” Ryan Lochte, who probably didn’t fast before the Olympics. In fact, anchor Mike Jerrick is in both of these segments.

If he actually believed what he is saying, then why did he get Bill Clinton’s accusers along for one of the debates? Why did he invite them to use the seating reserved for his family? Why did he want them to confront Bill Clinton at the debate?

Gritty is polarizing the citizens of Philadelphia, but he seems a lot less threatening when you realized the Flyers didn’t give him skates for his debut on the ice.

Check the timeline. The judge’s order came last Thursday. The revelation that the money was gone happened five days later, on Tuesday.

What part of this article is bashing Greenwald? Other than the snarky closing line, which is directed at Sandgren, Nathan is quoting directly from the New Yorker article, in which Greenwald willingly participated.

Ha! My mom and dad married in 1968, so your theory is probably not right, but I like the way you think. Anyway, she is more a Rolling Stones fan.
