The first Jewish member of Congress was Lewis Levin of PA in 1844. Sounds like the ban was put in place originally to comport with Christian tradition of men removing a hat while inside (thus avoiding the dreaded sight of a yarmulke). Plus ca change...

Counterpoints: a) he’s awesome; b) he can support himself for life off of fan conventions; c) he’s awesome; d) he’s easily Outback Steakhouse material; e) your manager at the Wawa said to get back to work
“It’s Yorke’s best solo album, assuming you are into the idea of 80 minutes of Amnesiac B-sides and analog dark ambient.”
extremely here for this
Soooo here’s the thing, I was an independent childbirth educator for many years I find it incredible how few women today take pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding classes. This nonsense of “nobody told me!” I hear a lot, and I hear it from women who obsessively research which mascara, face cream, blow dryer .... to buy but…
Moonlighting got hit with a perfect storm of complications including both the stars having medical conditions they needed to work around, the series creator/show runner being fired, and the longest writers strike in WGA history. So much more than just “they didn’t know how to write for them as a couple.”
After nearly a decade of unexplained weight gain and pain I was just six months ago diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Finally! I found a caring physician who not only listened to my description of my symptoms but started me on the road to recovery. Today I have lost nearly 25 pounds and have started to walk around the…
Yes, both are incredible achievements in both animation and literature, and very little can stand against them.
Nice bait. The Last Airbender is better in every respect.
I’m fairly certain that anyone who ever read anything by Steinbeck could have guessed this.
Me long past worrying whether Marvel can deliver satisfying standalone film that also work into larger story. They have this stuff pretty well figured out. Me just going to take kids to this and enjoy ride.
No. Sandra and Elvin went to Princeton.
I grew up on the Cosby Show and would recognize Geoffrey Owens in a heartbeat. And it definitely doesn’t hurt that he’s also done a couple more episodes of It’s Always Sunny in the past decade. And I damn well know what tertiary means. That kind of high/low culture snobbery makes you little better than the folks…
Elvin was a pretty consistent part of the show’s last 4-5 seasons. The Cosby Show was also, until a few years ago, frequently rerun. I certainly would have recognized him if I’d seen him.
HE WORE HIS NAME TAG TO THE INTERVIEW!!! God, Mr. Owens is awesome.
Heheh! In the 1970s, we got pamphlets by Modess and Kotex from the school nurse— pamphlets from the 1950s & 60s, because public school budgets were shitty back then too. (I expect the 1980s students got the 1970s pamphlets we should’ve gotten.)
If you ever see Balcones Baby Blue (Waco, TX), I suggest getting a bottle ($35). It is a blue corn whiskey and reminded me of a buttery popcorn. Very interesting and well priced if nothing else.
When Sophie first showed up, I wondered if they were referencing Carol Burnett, with the washer woman costume.
Sophie is such an interesting character, because back in those days all the prominent female comics WERE playing characters. Minnie Pearl comes to mind. Joan Rivers was one of the first to really be “herself”. Moms Mabley was of course the big one, but I still feel like a lot of it was a put-on persona. She joked…
I would have watched an hour of Midge honing her act. I cannot imagine how hard that must have been to write. “Okay, we need three punch lines. Each one is a little better than the last, but none are bad.”
