And if you went to one of them and left without paying you could be charged as a “common and notorious thief.”

I think Ronny/Ronnie has great respect for the office of the President. So do I.

The real tragedy is that the Old Post Office Pavilion is, to my mind, one of the most beautiful buildings in DC, and also, by some quirk of their zoning laws, one of the tallest. If the spaces in the top floors of the tower are hotel rooms people who stay there are getting the equivalent of 80th-floor rooms in…

Some trivia because I’ve had a long week and reading the Root and randomly consulting wikipedia is about all I’m capable of right now.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has a pretty good porn name. Unfortunately:

There are literally thousands of accredited “colleges” in this country and they’re not all Harvard/Stanford/MIT/CalTech level, to put it mildly. I bet the Liberty University alumnae went pretty solidly for Trump, for example.

Why is The Forgotten One trying to strangle poor Barron with his own tie and recording it for all meme posterity?

You’ve seen Michael Moore’s “Where to Invade Next” I take it? He goes to several different countries and examines different aspects of their cultures. He demonstrated to me that in lots of ways we Americans are the barbaric outliers who shouldn’t be considered part of the civilized world community. Here’s his piece on…

It looks like he used it fairly recently and angrily hung up on somebody (probably the phone company rep.) Unless he bumped into it 15 years ago and hasn’t noticed it’s probably off the hook. 10:1 that cord reaches to the floor and then some for maximum roaming. That’s what I grew up with.

You can thank Vatican II for that. My father was an altar boy pre-Vatican II and he used to tell us about three-hour-long Solemn High Masses conducted in Latin.

I’ve never heard of him and thought this article was going to be something like “RuPaul Drag Race fan favorite speaks out against homophobia and toxic black masculinity” because Nipsey Hussle is an excellent drag name.

I’ll try. I’ve never done this, but I could say to a black person:

I don’t know what bearing this has on anything, but Katie Roiphe is Anne Roiphe’s daughter. Anne Roiphe’s name may ring a bell, she’s a feminist who’s been a prolific writer since the 1960s.

Exactly.

If Idaho seceded a lot of Californians would need to use passports to visit friends and family members, and vice versa:

There were certainly plenty of black sawmill workers:

It worked in NYC for almost a century:

The bigger question is, how many kids from a left-ish Jewish family go to public high school in one of the most liberal cities in America and identify as conservative? I guess we all gotta have a gimmick, as the song goes.

I don’t know, our cable bill is ridiculously high, because we have HD cable boxes and it’s our Internet provider. I think it was also our landline provider but I wouldn’t know because that’s not the bill I picked. I picked electric, but our heat is included in the condo monthly fees.

Oh, you brought back some great memories. When my father-in-law (whom my husband called Pop) was still alive we used to take him out for lunch about once a month at his favorite restaurant that he’d been going to for decades. It had a menu with at least a hundred different entrees, and another hundred sandwiches.
