So, basically, Bezos’ yacht is really what would be a luxury cruise ship. It’s a bit less than half the length of the Queen Mary. The late Paul Allen had a similarly-sized yacht, and it belongs to his widow, now. Remember “The Love Boat” from the 1980s? - the Pacific Princess - it was about 80 feet longer than this…

Yes, this. A thousand times, this.

Billions and billions of dollars can make anyone very attractive.

I saw one at the Petersen. It’s really got a classy look. Sooo stylized.

There are very few grim things that bring me pleasure, but one portion of that small set is the knowledge that Lee Atwater has been dead for thirty years and he never saw his 41st birthday. That pleasure is tempered somewhat by the realization that the stink and sticky filth of his horrid being is still slathered all…

Must be a pretty nice camper! TV and everything. Is it, like, a trailer? ... or more like an RV? This was a great piece.

“And groups operating under the “anti-abortion” banner absolutely want all Americans to be controlled by biblical rule.”

I’ve been trying to get my sister and her husband to move out of Houston for years. Colorado (where I am) is “too liberal” so they halfheartedly suggest Utah? Well, okay, I’ll take what I can get ... but really? Utah?

I used to be a complete slave to Carmex... in the little glass jars. They changed the formulation, though, so it’s not the same - and no glass jars for a long long time, now. Mostly now it’s Burt’s Bees.

Also good!

This piece was an amazing read. Thank you for writing it.
