Exactly. It’s not unheard of for a person to retire from public appearances.

“So I committed myself to immediately purchasing more dresses and rompers to prepare for the new norm of global warming-inspired summers. “

Back in the 80's, a young woman with whom I attended college enlisted as a way to cut the cost of her education. She chose the Marine Reserves because they offered the most generous package for college students. After her training and going through a bunch of cycles of the weekend activities, she said that she could…

UConn beat Maryland 87-81, not by a blowout. The Gamecocks will give UConn a good run for their money.

They only lost two games this year, one to UConn and another to Ohio State (which they should have won). I read a few weeks ago that the NCAA selection committee was penalizing Maryland because they had some really easy games early in the season but it’s standard for a team to play smaller schools in their region…

Baylor’s motto is “Pro Ecclesia, Pro Texana”. For Church, For Texas. So, they don’t actually claim to be for their students or their educations.

I read that after I posted. That’s still an awful lot of medals.

Look at the medals on Prince Phillip. Does the Queen give him one each week in which he avoids saying something racist or otherwise objectionable in public?

This reminds me of an old joke:

He’s picked up an endorsement from Sketchers.

“2. Remove wax crayon marks from glass/plastic.”

There’s a 90 day hiring freeze underway (except DoD and national security), which will end when OPM and OMB presents the President with a plan to reduce the Federal workforce significantly. I think it’s 20%. They can’t expect 20% of workers to retire or otherwise leave the Federal workforce. They’ll have to claim…

Couldn’t they bump him upstairs? Give him an administrative or fund raising job, then hire a new coach?

Yes, it’s now Ecuador. He was on UK land until he entered the Ecuadorean embassy to avoid going to Sweden.

No, that’s not strange at all. There’s no outstanding extradition order. They can’t speculate on an order that may or may not be created in the future. Remember we’re talking about the world of lawyers here. There is also no compelling reason that the Swedish police should have to travel to London to interview…

With gerrymandering, they don’t actually need the votes of the majority of Americans, let alone minorities.

Most people do cycle through TA’s and RA’s, depending on the department and their professor. I was surprised that 90% of Yale’s doctoral students aren’t on TA’s. That means that there is either a whole lot of research money for them or that a bunch of doctoral students are working outside jobs.

That may not be the right term for this, but unless they get therapy of some kind, an abused woman often will be vulnerable to other abusers.

His excuse is ridiculous. He needs to hide in the Embassy because if he goes to Sweden, they’ll send him to the US. As if there isn’t an extradition treaty between the US and the UK. In fact, it’s probably easier to be extradited from the UK to the US than from Sweden, given the agreement signed after 9/11. It’s…

“Only 313 students who are teaching this semester are eligible to vote; 90% of all GSAS students will have no voice.”
