If they have potatoes, the child will also need bread to go along with it.

The main point about this is that we are a republic, not a democracy and as such we elect others to make decisions about government issues. Since not even the most craven pol commissions polls of his district prior to each vote, the pol must make the decision based on his own views. That’s why it matters who you vote…

See “The Big Chill” re desserts.

Eventually we can expect to see the “Bud Light Defense,” in which the accused rapist points out, “She couldn’t have said ‘no’ that night she was drinking Bud Light.”

I’ve posted this before but judging by your screen name, you might enjoy it and perhaps it will keep you awake.

The people who need child care most are too tired to riot.

And you vent to your friend(s) or others willing to listen, you don’t vent in the town square (Facebook) and expect it to go unremarked.

Substitute ‘interracial’ for ‘lesbian’ and then maybe the illegality will become more apparent.

Yeah, except you spelled it right.

He clearly believes the best defense is a good offense. But it’s unclear (to me, anyway) what exactly this guy wants Columbia to do — Forbid others to file additional charges against him? Announce campus-wide that everyone should treat him as though he has *not* been charged with sexual assault by at least four…

My now-wife and I had been dating but without sex for a few weeks and she’d been to my small apartment a couple of times where I kept my Murphy bed folded up so we could move around. I’d tried to signal her that I was interested by saying near the end of one date, “Some evening soon, I’ll ask you to spend the night…

Since it took place in Texas, I’m rather surprised not to hear some sort of complaint that, “If she only had a gun, then...”

I’m not a doctor, Avada, but I am a Dad and your ultrasound *at 8 weeks* could show you a skull?! My recollection and understanding is that you’d be looking at something the size of a kidney bean, basically not much larger than the low-res pixels on the screen. I’m not disbelieving you exactly, I just, well... I’m…

What’s that slogan of the NRA? “When only criminals have guns, then only criminals will get bacon.”

It was indeed very neat, Not, and at that time anyway (January 1996) we were the only people to have gotten married on land in Antarctica, others had been married on cruise ships. Maybe if the call goes out to, “Tell Us About Your Unusual Wedding Venue” then I’ll write up the whole thing.

My vote was ‘never.’ My wife and I were married in Antarctica and nights were spent onboard a small converted research vessel. The combination of travel weariness, physical exertion, the rocking ship, and dramamine (mostly the latter), meant that whenever we so much as entered into our little cabin our eyes would roll…

I’d like to point out at least one top tier law school, the University of Virginia, basically gave the finger to the most connected legacy you can imagine. When I attended in the mid ‘80s and worked part-time in the law school advisor’s office, we heard that John F. Kennedy, Jr. (John-John, the one who went down in…

I’ve had a Yahoo email account since 1995 that I use for signing up for things and don’t care what gets sent there, but since it’s that old I was able to get my first initial and last name. Starting about 10 years ago I began to get normal, social invites to someone else at my email address. I ignored the first few…

Regarding Jamie Layton’s deli worker I thought I knew where that story of ‘pink meat’ was going but was thankfully incorrect. It did, however, remind me of something a friend said to me once after watching with disapproval as I once again ordered my burger well-done, “You’d send back Catherine Zeta-Jones ‘cuz she’s…

“Taylor, imagine us as two cats. You could be a Siamese and I could be...”
