Don’t forget the time Obama wore a light tan suit!

I’ve always considered humility to be an essential feature of leaders that I respect.

My opinion of Tufte is overshadowed by the huge display of ego at the end of a seminar I attended. He threw up his hands like he’d just won the Boston marathon and cracked open a beer on stage. So...maybe he and Trump are made for each other.

This should REALLY be tagged with “spoiler alert.” #thanks #imeannothanks

It’s treason, that’s what. (I don’t mean this snarkily.)

Iggy: also a good boy. #Bostonsarethebest

“Anyone have Obama’s contact info?”

This reminds me of the huge advance given to a lower-income woman of color who was not conventionally attractive to write her addiction memoir. \sarcasm

Hold up. They are career Feds, not appointees. Trump cannot fire them (without going through the lengthy procedures to fire a Fed). Either this was reported incorrectly or Trump is flouting yet another law.

That’s true, I had forgotten.

Well, if we don’t die in a Trump-initiated war, I believe we’ll live long enough to see the pendulum swing back. And our revenge will be so, so sweet.

And ESPECIALLY when it comes to tipping. Jez needs to do a story about this.

You need to make the transition to Dane DeHaan.

He might be able to book Neil Zirconia (actual band I have seen at my in-laws’ retirement clubhouse), but then again, Neil Zirconia’s schedule in January tends to be pretty booked up as they make their rounds to all the retirement communities in Florida.

It’s right up there for me, too. She brilliantly handled a very, very difficult subject. I want to recommend it to my friends but honestly I’m afraid they’ll think I’m a morally despicable person for seeing ambiguity in the central issue. (I’m being vague on purpose because the book is so much better if you don’t know…

I started following @pookleblinky after that tweet string. I think that I’ve sought out information about Trump that is true, no matter how scary (in contrast to some people I know who can’t read too much analysis or conjecture about DT because it scares them too much). However, his/her tweets are seriously making me…

Just in time for my office (of Federal regulators) holiday party tomorrow.

The election isn’t rigged, but the deck is stacked for the Republicans in at least three ways. This recount, which will likely yield nothing, detracts from three very real problems.

How about we make Trump “King of the U.S.” and have a do-over for the presidential election? He would love it. All he wants is to parade around and make speeches without doing any real/difficult work. (Joking but not really...at this point I would take that option.)

Untrue. The pension plan that is only available for Feds who became Feds BEFORE 1/1/1987 is indeed sweet. I entered the government several years after that and I can expect a 30% (of my highest salary) pension if I serve for 30 years. In contrast, I know an Amtrak employee who retired with 100% pension and a union HQ…
