But they’re not doing it for a living.

Watch her “Carpool Karaoke” with James Corden. Hilarious—especially compared with his other guests.

Yes, I think it did sound like that. I certainly could’ve/should’ve composed it better.

They weren’t all consenting. That’s the problem.

First, I can guess.

Actually, it was the men I was shaming. While “having consensual group sex” is one thing, and, you’re right, no one else’s business, I hardly think this is in the same category. A nice little “Behind the Green Door” (just to tie it back into the sports arena) scenario is great, but the situation described in this…

Right! Facts from the accused players like, “Well, yeah, but she wanted it! She was asking—no, begging—for it.” What “facts” could they present that would mitigate the allegations, other than totally denying they were there and that it never happened at all.

And say hello to a huge rise in State taxes . . . I come from a state that has the 2nd highest tax rate in the country (lower only than Illinois) and a sales-tax rate in the middle of the pack (#26 @ 5.5%), along with a city tax of 1.75% for a total of 7.25% on almost everything I buy. My county also collects property…

Same. I envision it looking like this: USA v. Everyone Else

Hey! The pilot of that plane was from my state! We later elected him State Treasurer. But that was before he faked a Navy memo about the incident during his run for U.S. Senator. Wonder where he is now . . .

This. The Bush administration was the first one during which I claimed to be Canadian when I traveled abroad.

What a great, great, great story!

I would nominate Tyrone Hughes to be added to the list. At 5'9" (my ass—maybe on his tip-toes), he was a kick-off and punt returner for St. Augustine High School (New Orleans), University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and the New Orleans Saints (and briefly with Chicago, without much luck).

Do you think it was coined here? If so (and I’m not saying it wasn’t), it spread pretty quickly. I heard the term on NPR yesterday around 4:30, so maybe five hours after this story was posted.

I bit. Damn you, you glorious bastard.

Kiting a check? Ha! Ever heard of Check 21? Good luck with that.

You are aware, of course, that the internet became popular some thirty years ago. Old ladies are probably pretty used to it by now—since they’ve quite possibly been using it longer than you have.

I starred your comment even though I’m an old lady who doesn’t read newspapers anymore (but NOT because things got too complicated, so maybe I’m okay).

The “trains ran on time” was a Mussolini reference, not Hitler, but I guess one dictator is pretty much interchangeable with another.
