This is a good analogy, not just for this situation but about many of the ways in which Trump is transitioning into power. Tyrion, Jaime & Tywin all rued the fact that their idiot sister and Joffrey dismissed Selmy because they knew he “lent whoever he served honor”. In an inauguration where the President has…

Wow, that’s an elaborate investment in diminishing returns!

Not the ones I’ve been to. But, I go to male strip clubs for men.

Yes. The matriarch of J Pod here in Puget Sound has been recorded as deceased recently and she was 105.

I can’t find it presently, but I recently read a survey indicating that the same demographic was both the most likely to complain about “political correctness” and also the group most likely to take offense to speech they deemed politically incorrect, in this case “Happy Holidays”. Can you guess who? White men of…

That is accurate. Both are bad. One is worse, but that doesn’t mean the other should be gleefully celebrated.

I wonder who could possibly watch that video and think, “well, that seems like a reasonable use of force.”

She withheld information on Donald Trump pre-election so she could make more of a profit on her book.

I have several qualms with Megyn Kelly, but inconsistency isn’t one of them. She’s always been perfectly consistent in supporting whatever was good for Megyn Kelly. She’s not a feminist. She’s not an anti-feminist. She’s a Megynist. Always has been.

Megyn Kelly’s goodbye statement = I’m dumping you because I got into my 1st choice college. You were my first. No hard feelings?

Not surprised, but meh.

Yeah, I agree with you with regard to Luke dying. Kylo has obviously been written as a emotionally twisted man-boy who struggled a bit in a fight with untrained Rey. In my opinion he wouldn’t make for a fitting rival to someone of Lukes stature yet. I mean technically Luke bested Ren’s idol Vader by turning him back…

She wanted Southern-style fried food. Specifically, I would guess this means fried chicken, greens, peas, cornbread and such.

Well it’s an American dude ranch so probably southern-style Soul food. Comfort foods and greasy stuff. Which is readily recognized by many black people. They even made a documentary on it, although it was also partially about how unhealthy it was and how it contributes to health disease in the black community.

Couldn’t she just be referring to traditional soul food, and just be a crass ignorant asshat rather than a racist asshat?

Meh, progress is progress. I don’t think people are applauding whatever minimum standards the church has set for itself, they are applauding the fact that it has set standards for itself. Like you said, its a centuries old institution with unchecked power, its under no actual requirements to move forward.

About ten years ago, I read somewhere (NYT I think?) that the Catholic Church was issuing new guidelines on sexual activity between a husband and wife. The new rule? It was okay for a man to stimulate his wife during sex.

I’ve always said I would switch teams for this woman if the opportunity ever arose. She is an absolute goddess. And the sexiest thing about her is her voice-I could listen to her all day.

Love it: James Bond marries Emma Peel (so to speak). Never was anyone better cast than she. And Diana Rigg speeding through the Pyrenees in her convertible ‘69 Mercury Cougar; pure coolness.
