More like not that she could at this point.

After finding out that Barbara Bush is only four feet tall I googled. Oprah is 5'7" and DC is 5'5". Which I don’t really believe because I’ve run into DC more than once (he used to live near where I worked) and that would mean that he’d be almost a foot shorter than me (I’m a tall guy.) Maybe his super-enlightened…

A gif for the ages.

I think that photo has also been photoshopped and she was copy/pasted in from an appearance somewhere else. It’s like she’s 10% larger than life than the guy standing next to her. And what’s up with the shadows behind them? And what’s that on the screen above them? The ghostly handless cuff on the white shirt seems to…

Does your sister live in New England? I have friends and relatives there who do this, not out of miserliness, they’re very generous people, just out of habit, and it seems like a regional thing. Like, turn the heat way way down as bedtime approaches, because why waste the heat if you’re just going to sleep through it?…

I don’t think that’s a poncho though (although I guess if Tommy Boy says it is it is.) To me it seems like a vaguely Asiatic coat created by a Westerner who saw one once on his travels to The Mysterious Orient 200 years ago.

Oh, you’re probably right, I’m a (middle-aged) guy so I thought you meant ageism and sexism among my chromosonal cohort, and my intent was Hillary’s age was not (primarily) what was holding (some of) the menfolk back.

You are completely right about the sexism. As for ageism: Donald Trump is 70. Bernie Sanders is 75. Hillary Clinton is (barely) the youngest. I don’t think ageism is really in play here, just the opposite. In the 1960s it was “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” In 2016 it is “Don’t trust anyone who can’t collect full Social…

An interesting, if buried, factoid from the NY Republican primary:

I have a lot of friends who live in DC (and its suburbs) and I once posited to the Washingtonians, “Since you’re not getting real representation at the federal level, how about if you didn’t have to pay real federal income and business taxes? You’d become Monaco overnight. That should be looked into!”

Is it something related to Donald Trump?

A general observation: if only Gawker had gotten the Weiner dick-pic scoop and missed the Hulk Hogan not-scoop things around here would be quite different. Weiner probably would have written a big check to Denton thanking him for the publicity, rather than the way things played out.

“Oh, you said ‘canker sore’? I thought you said ‘cancer scare’! I already tweeted this, but I only have 4,800,000 followers, and I’ll do a followup. Are you still around for lunch next Thursday?”

This is one of my favorite NYC political anecdotes. I’m paraphrasing; I read this a l-o-o-o-ng time ago, I think in “The Village Voice.”

How did I ever miss that? I really need to be more attentive in my RH viewing habits. I am very happy though that I was watching RHONY during the broadcast premiere of Aviva Drescher throwing her artificial leg across the table at Le Cirque.

Gosh, what was that?

What must the budget be like for these RH shows? It’s one thing to rent them houses they obviously don’t live in while they’re filming, but to cart all of them and the 24/7 camera crews and God knows who else around the globe for these Spring Break-esque “par-tay!!!” few minutes of filming...Bravo must be raking it in…

My grandmother used to refer to her late husband all the time by his last name. For a long, long while in my family there were about four acceptable boys’ names to pass around (first son named after the father, second son named after an uncle from the maternal side) and he had one of them, so it (somewhat) cut down on…

This ad is almost too much to take in all at once.

I’ve hand-whipped cream a few times, mostly to get some exercise to be honest. Try making buttercream frosting.
