I know the.

It wasn’t that bad. Presumably it’s accurate, 1,600, and there’s a typo, but the meaning is clear.

But what is that stain/discoloration on the cuff? Is that from the covfefe?

Just a hunch, but I bet the original said 1.6 million and then an almost-too-late second look revealed 1,600 so a quick typing of “thousands” and PUBLISH.

I cannot wait for Friday’s Clapback Mailbag on this one.

The public face of the Trump White House is very young. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is 35. Stephen Miller is 32. Hope Hicks is 29. The most powerful of all, Ivanka Trump, is 36. “Tomorrow belongs to me.”

Until now I never realized Judith Miller was Anna Wintour’s “Single White Female” roommate.

Often it’s when they do try to hire younger voices that they get into trouble. Bari Weiss is 33. Quinn Norton is 44. Bret Stephens is 44. In traditional Times age chronology they might as well be college interns.

Get ready for a whole lot of “Toe-key-oh” when the Olympics and NBC go there in 2020.

My husband’s at the 11 AM show as I write this (Friday.) He got the last reserve ticket and he bought it three days ago, so I bet you won’t be alone. I think this movie is going to break records.

I think you mean “shithole,” as Trump would say.

The now-iconic AP photo that’s being splashed across the front pages of many news sites and printed newspapers is of a woman in obvious pain hugging another woman. They’re mothers of students, I assume. The front facing woman is wearing her ashes (has a cross on her forehead), because yesterday was Ash Wednesday.

The book is one of my favorites. I have never seen the movie (gasp!) but the book, and I’ve read it many times, has some very funny passages, despite its tragic story arc.

You forgot a good line from that song:

And if the kids got their hands on Langston Hughes’ work who knows what kind of crazy ideas they’d come up with.

Have you ever read Kozol’s Death at an Early Age? It recounts his experience teaching in the Boston public schools, pre-busing, so the schools were deeply segregated. In the overwhelmingly non-white schools the vast majority of teachers were white women. It’s horrifying. It came out in 1967. Some of the kids he talks

She’s a very strange woman, from what I can get out of my husband. She’s very, very Pentecostal, that much I know. One of her several grandchildren contacted us once because she, a Lesbian (a fact she told my husband as part of the “You don’t know who I am but” greeting), was briefly on some nurse training refresher

Speaking of #9, my black husband has a step-sister who’s considerably older than he is. He won’t talk about her and his parents never did either, except once I caught his mother yelling at his father for visiting her and giving her money. I assume he brought her into the marriage, but she was long gone by the time I

At least they didn’t bring up the Red Sox. Last MLB team to integrate and they kind of blew off getting Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays, among others. Tom Yawkey, who owned the team for 44 years, thought no one (“no one,” meaning the overwhelmingly white fans) in Boston would come to Fenway if there were a black

I wouldn’t count on that. The demographics might turn against the Republicans but they’re not doing that badly yet.
