Isn’t that “the Diana”?

I go to a food cart (not a food truck; those are trendy and way overpriced) near a Manhattan office a couple of times a week. There’s a very nice and funny Yemeni guy who runs it single-handedly. It’s a very simple menu, four items, and one is written on the board in Arabic. I finally asked him what it said. “Goat.”…

I have a friend who breeds shelties (I know, I don’t agree with it either, but she’s very responsible and she loves them and getting one from her is more difficult than getting into Harvard Law School without family connections.)

My media-obsessed black husband with a background in advertising takes his tablet into the bathroom when he showers. One morning he emerged and called me in and asked if he looked different. I was mystified and said no.

Maybe out of necessity to flee the warmer-climate slaveholding/Reconstruction/Jim Crow south? My black husband has a huge extended family and none of them live below the Mason/Dixon line, except for a branch that lives in DC. He has a very successful cousin who practiced medicine in the Bay Area for a couple of years…

I can’t resist, I have to leave this somewhere.

Genius. I’ve never gotten one of those calls, but if I ever do I’ll call back, bring up “Dominic the Donkey” and hold my phone up to the speaker. Repeatedly. 150 times does the trick?

The Keyes Line is a great poli-sci barometer.

Back in the early days of the 2016 campaign when the DNC was kind of encouraging Bernie to run (so it would look less like a Clinton coronation) and there were 28 or however many Republican contenders, some commenter on Jezebel threw in a line, out of nowhere, “Hillary Clinton is by far the most qualified Republican…

And it did.

Here’s another example that I think will work. I am gray, but you responded to me and you must be in the black, so now in this thread my comment back to you should be black, not gray. Let’s see if this works...

Or buy a media property, like the right does. The “Boston Globe” sold for the value of just the land it sits on (not the building, not the assets like the presses and the hardware, not the website, not the goodwill, not the brand, the land itself. And the previous owner, “The New York Times,” assumed all pension…

I am in the grays on the Root but in the black on Splinter. A couple of weeks ago I learned from personal experience that if there is a gray comment with no stars that you disagree with, and then another gray commenter responds with a rebuttal, and then as a black commenter you respond in solidarity with the second…

You scored a $5 mojito in Times Square? Now maybe I’ll have to start hanging out at Guy Fieri’s restaurant while it lasts. (Works south of Times Square, all of the grit of the 1980s, none of the fun.)

This is from the Food Network website (50 Deviled Eggs Recipes):

I think it’s just the opposite. Since he had 20 years in and resigned, he can keep his pension:

Our local Sanders volunteer coordinator (so she was like a precinct captain) was a 40-something black woman. She’s a union organizer so it really is not surprising she wouldn’t be excited by the prospect of a former Wal-Mart Board member’s candidacy. Yet the DNC is probably still puzzling over this. It must have been…

Over 18% of New York City voters voted for Donald Trump. A lot of those votes came from Staten Island and the farther reaches of Brooklyn and Queens, but almost 10% of Manhattan voted for him. All the NYC-centric media people expensing their way to West Virginia and western PA searching for Trump voters just need to…

I once read that there is a Gullah term that means “where the white [or somehow other] people live,” meaning the mainland and the plantations and slavery. Do you happen to know that term? I’ve never been able to find it again, and google is no help.

Since he wears that stupid hat in 2017 people should just pretend to confuse him with the only other man who does: “Hey, Matt Drudge, what are you doing here?”
