Giuliani’s son Andrew works in the White House in some capacity, sounds completely bogus, and is “mulling” a run for the Mayoralty. I would imagine he and Dad are quite close. At least two of his three ex-wives clearly loathe him, but the first ex-wife was actually his cousin, so there might be some familial loyalty.…

An added bonus for me I feel the same way on a micro level as a resident of NYC. George Pataki was the Governor of New York for three consecutive terms, 12 years total, and you barely heard from him. Ask a New Yorker who was Governor in 1998 or 2003 and they couldn’t tell you.

The hair and the hat are very sad but I, a guy, bought a nicer version of that shirt in Rome (Italy, not New York) several years ago and still wear it. It doesn’t bunch up in the front and around the collar like Fluffer’s or whatever her name is, because I didn’t borrow it from a larger person for some sort of…

I’m pretty sure the very first Pret in Manhattan opened near my old office many years ago. I had been to them in London and liked their Manhattan location because they didn’t really change the product mix. I remember a prawn and watercress sandwich they used to carry, and a chicken curry. Those were gone within six…

I make burritos for us at least once a week and they’re big sloppy messes because I overstuff them (two big guys and a big dog who gets the leftovers scraped into his kibble bowl.) I can just imagine trying to cram my burritos into one of these these things. That said, a friend and I exchange a gag gift every year for…

I had forgotten about Juicero! Wiki tells me that in 2017 they had 232 employees. I guess that must have included plant workers and customer service reps? 2017. What a time to be alive.

People in Liverpool aren’t amused by this. They entered the strictest covid-redux lockdown in the country recently (a week ago? two weeks ago?) and yet an American Batman movie was given the all-clear.

Or howzabout a movie about Musa I, Mansa Musa? Fantastically wealthy and powerful (and exceptionally enlightened) ruler of the Empire of Mali in the early 14th century. It is widely assumed that he was, by far, the richest man of the Middle Ages. His pilgrimages to Mecca were legendary. Wouldn’t that be great to see…

According to wiki the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor “Cleopatra” was the highest grossing movie of that year and one of the highest grossing of the decade. Nonetheless, it almost bankrupted the studio, 20th Century Fox. It took so long and was so expensive to make, and the marketing/promotion budget was an endless black hole.…

Couldn’t agree more! 

As far as I know there’s only one in Manhattan and it’s near Port Authority. I’ve only been at lunch twice (and took the food to go) but I bet once the sun goes down the place turns into a scene from “Night of the Living Dead,” like so much of that 8th Avenue stretch between PA and Penn. That can’t help Arby’s…

Ohio is a pretty good bellwether. They are very swing-y, the presidential candidates winning often by very small margins. Since 1900 they’ve only missed twice, going for Dewey in 1944 over Roosevelt and Nixon in 1960 over Kennedy.

Maybe they are superfans of “Home Edit,” where even the most mundane household supplies are organized by color. Since they don’t have enough Black to balance off the blinding whiteness, you can’t achieve the ultra-desirable rainbow effect, but you can use them to form a frame and provide contrast. “Home Edit” doesn’t…

At some point in the late 80s I had a breton-striped boatneck sweater that I loved so much I wore it as often as I could. For Christmas that year from my boyfriend I got a pack of Gauloises, a beret, and a poster of Marcel Marceau. I took the hint. But the year I got mine it must have been a trend and I must have…

Clarence Thomas is on his second wife. They got married in 1987. I (a man) have been with the same guy since 1986, when a marriage between two men was unthinkable. We met right out of college. Samuel Alito got married in 1985, when he was 35. There’s a chance he was a virgin but what are the odds?

Kim Davis has been married FOUR TIMES? God, the pickings must be awfully slim down in Kentucky.

“...and she gave it to two friends, and they gave it to two friends, and so on, and so on...”

I’m wondering what sort of “consulting services” he offered to Ariana Grande, and why he was surprised and offended that she turned him down? How to be the most loathed person in LA? That would not help a singer/aspiring actor’s career.
