Idiocy: They are not “proactively” discussing new policies. They are reacting to a bad policy. A proactive discussion would have foreseen the obvious ethical conflict and prevented it from happening. Perhaps what they meant is they were “actively” discussing policy, but wanted to make it sound like it was super-classy…

Given the struggle she had against the entire British Royal family and Palace establishment, I don’t see why it should necessarily be a negative reflection of her character if she used the power of the press to her advantage at times — after all, her great popularity and ability to sell papers was the only tool in…

This was the first thing that came to my mind — given that his mother, Princess Diana, was literally hounded to her death by a rabid pack of paparazzi, it must be traumatizing for Harry to see his girlfriend receive this level of treatment. Younger people may not remember or be aware, but Diana’s death was a great…

The ratio of the triviality of the eventual lost loved one’s message to the effort expended “proving” the psychic is in contact is ridiculous. It’s as though they broke through the realms to tell you you forgot to turn off the coffee maker. Reminds me of this (spoofing Christopher Walken in the The Dead Zone, where he…

The Ivy League, by definition, does not award sports scholarships.

I think he may be swishing his tail as much at the crowd of press and flashing bulbs as at being petted by a stranger. How did they keep him on his pedestal though? He must be somewhat relaxed.

Oh, stawp!!!

I had a bf who called my sister “Murray” because he insisted that’s how I pronounced it: “So, how is Murray?”

The past claims against Bill Clinton have already been adjudicated in a court of law; they are not “news,” or open matters. Bringing up a new claim in this context is a typically Trump maneuver to change the subject every time a criticism is made of him. “Someone else did it too” is not a valid defense.

It’s not all that old. It was in common use throughout the 1960's and 70's. I am guessing just before the shift to the term “African-American” took hold. I believe African-American came into wide use through Jesse Jackson in the late ‘80's. Not ancient history.

Believe it is former Texas governor Ann Richards, Cecile Richard’s mother (head of Planned Parenthood.) Ann Richards was wild and well worth looking up.

Yes! As a former NYC resident from the 1980's and early 90's, this Eichenwald article is what I have been waiting for many months! Any New Yorker from that era knows with crystal clarity what an utter venal, petty, infantile ass-hat crooked fraud he is. Cannot believe it has taken this long to get something as…

Alec Baldwin has been killingly hilarious on SNL forever. Generally, as someone who experienced the first season SNL, I think it has been downhill since Belushi and Gilda Radner left — but Baldwin is an exception. It’s well worth checking out his early shows!

OK! Still, DT’s degree is undergraduate.

The preposterous thing about the “Ivy League school” brag is that all he has is an undergraduate bachelor’s degree from Wharton. This is a far, far cry from being an MBA graduate of the super-selective Wharton graduate program, as he would like to fool you into believing. I would think, anyway, his grades were…

Except, at that time they were not known as “pussy bow” blouses. The universal term was “floppy bow tie.”

How could you miss this???

At the time they were called “floppy bow ties.” I never heard the term “pussy bow” until today. It sounds like a much more recent couture term.
