I am not in the least religious, but were I invited to the Vatican specifically to meet the head of one of the world’s major religions, I think I’d select a tie that didn’t look like I picked it off a clearance rack at Sears. And I’d tie it correctly.

If Walt Whitman died after the beginning of the Civil War, it is not a reasonable assertion that he was killed in the war. Just because you use two established facts in one sentence does not mean that they are connected in any other way except in that one sentence.

It sounds like with Fox losing so many millions in lawsuit settlements and ratings dropping like a stone, new management is getting concerned about legal fees and the possibility of more payouts.

Given that the ball ended up (apparently) much closer to third than to home, I wonder why the Dodgers’ third baseman (Ferguson?) didn’t do anything more than amble around third base. If he’d headed for the ball, presumably Seager would have covered third for him. It might not have changed anything, but the play was in…

This principal has an extremely disturbing obsession with how this young woman is dressed. And I’m guessing that the 45 students also reprimanded for wearing shirts & leggings were female, and that the principal is out there in the hallways everyday, checking them out — er...checking out their clothing, of course —…

Me, too!

I somehow forgot one of my cardinal rules about Twin Peaks: Never, never, never watch this show with someone who expects to understand everything that’s happening on a tv show, every minute of every episode, and who will barrage you with questions the entire time. Even with that...I loved it, loved that in-your-face…

I’m confused. Why does a member of the Master Race need special protection, or any kind of protection? For that matter, why does a member of the Master Race need to work out?

This has money-making lottery possibilities written all over it. Price it at a thousand yen a ticket. Everybody’s ticket has an individualized number. And then they do the drawing on tv. And say, one dozen winners become automatic royalty, replenishing the stock.

Bravo!

Be interesting if Mike Pence was leaking this information, in an effort to sink Trump and seize power for himself.

My personal take on Jeter is that, if he weren’t pretty, he’d not be considered a first ballot Hall of Fame player. Every time the Yankees would appear on national tv, any play of significance, no matter how far from shortstop it occurred, would be followed by a closeup of Jeter. Not on the players involved in the…

Agreed.

I suspect this may be worse than that. This sounds very much like a mob enforcer letting an opponent know “I know where your children are.”

An “administrative inquiry” takes two people and can’t be performed by telephone or by mail or by email? Among other things, that sounds like a tremendous waste of both money and resources.

This is so very, very strange. And yet, within Trump’s little circle, it’s probably absolutely normal. After all, this young woman only exists to be marriaged off in the right business deal. It’s not like she’s a person (i.e., a man).

I guess the Mets have got it in their mind that Tebow can lay hands on his fellow players — in a masculine manly way, none of that funny stuff, fellow! — and heal them. (Mets fan since ‘71)

But as long as we all have the personal liberty to choose between dying a painful death and/or condemning our family to lifelong penury, that’s all to the good, right?

He keeps it in a box, along with the ambiguity...

But if the president or his handlers are refusing meetings with him, sending a message publicly is his only option.
