Got it — and thank you. No use playing pretend in some situations and about some things. Whatever the case, I for one am glad you are who you are.

Call me a hopeless romantic . . . .

No joking here: It's awful and terrible that you (or anyone) have had so much garbage in your life. I'm sure, in some way, you're stronger for it.

But did you really need it to be strong? Couldn't you love your life and your job and your partner and still want to undo the violence and abuse? There's no question…

Really?

Don't you think he looks like Betty White?

Val Kilmer?

On what?

At least none of these schools hired Terry Richardson.

Is this getting serious? Or serious enough?

The best part is it's actually Miggy's hat.

I like you.

(Great piece, by the way!)

This isn't even Wieland's first lawsuit.

Last year he asked a court to keep his wife and daughters from going into Walmart because they started selling deviled eggs.

The Cos!

You mean against the boat captained by whatshisface?

Accepted, of course.

And no apology necessary. I'd never pull the QED thing on ya, especially with the Fed Papers, if only because I too get steamed when I see that move made by others (so often in Supreme Court opinions). I do think that the themes you raise are precisely the ones Hamilton and Madison were strumming…

And then again, if the scoreline is to be believed? Holy shnikeys!

Think Spurs will take Demps back on loan for the winter months? That could make a big difference, no?

Does he have pace?

And to think I thought we were friends.

Or that you'd read my second paragraph.

Or that you'd confine the bleating to the sheep.

Alas, BCCB. What happened?

Interesting —- and thank you.

I hope Brooks can stick, if only to put an end to the disaster that has been Timmy Chandler's run with the USMNT. Useless — though maybe Brooks can't play wide?

Vaguely related: Surprised by Dempsey's move to Seattle? I was, even if Spurs weren't playing UCL . . . .

Brooks is big, no? Like ol' Gooch, but maybe skinnier?

Think Iceland can pair well with Jozy?
