You raise an interesting point. Centuries ago (i.e. during the Renaissance), devotional art was the zenith of artistic quality (e.g. Michaelangelo’s Pieta). Today it’s the nadir of artistic quality (e.g. Thomas Kinkade, “Painter of Light”). Why has devotional art fallen so low?

You should of corrected her error the first time, now your stuck with it until death do your part.

We need to give up on changing the minds of the Trump voters (they are irredeemable) and focus on attenuating their ballot box power by bringing in more voters to cancel out their votes.

The TSA agent probably thinks he’s Making America Great Again by being a tough sheriff laying down the law against foreign infiltration.

I still think the iPhone 5/5S was the best physical design for an iPhone.

She only has to get rid of her older brother to eventually become queen, because they changed the law of succession in 2013 to absolute primogeniture (oldest living heir) instead of male-based primogeniture (oldest living male heir).

It probably depends on how recyclable your water is in your locality. I live in the Seattle area, and we usually don’t worry about water reservoirs drying up, but we do worry about what happens with the wastewater.

Nah, Trump Sr. is Sonny — a stupid hotheaded womanizer.

Cohen obviously wants to be the Tom Hagen to Trump’s Vito Corelone, but Trump is more like Sonny and Cohen is more like Fredo.

“In God We Trust” says the huge sign in the city council chamber.

Aren’t we supposed to be able to just talk to our TVs nowadays?

That’s funny — as an American, I have tons of respect and admiration for the French, because without them we’d all be British. :)

I don’t remember hearing anything about deadly nut allergies when I was a kid (70s/80s) — when did nuts become so deadly to so much of the population?

They’re already killing people with deportations. If you’re seeking asylum in the US to escape criminal gang violence south of the border, a deportation is a death sentence.

Well, the fact that she copped a guilty plea and got a relatively light sentence hopefully means that the prosecutors have their big guns aimed at the crime bosses and made a deal with these women to get their testimony.

Look into those crazy eyes for the answer to your question.

Yes. The serious question is, if you don’t live in the US, why do you care about ICE enforcement of US immigration laws?

Their Spanish is probably better than yours (and mine), so they likely said muchas gracias, not muchos gracias. :)
