He’s probably going to go the Kardashian route and have a family reality show.  His base would watch it.

As an aside, I’ve gotta say that her marriage is sort of unconventional. Kudos to her husband for keeping out of the limelight.  Heck, it’s lasted all these years so more power to them.

I dunno.  The most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen on TV was Trump’s speech last Thursday night.

This summer I read the old book “Cheaper by the Dozen,” based on the family life of efficiency expert Frank Gilbreth. He would have his kids bid on what were essentially one time projects - painting a fence, for example. It certainly was an effective way to teach kids about business.

Yeah, Fleming wanted David Niven. On the other hand, I read Casino Royale recently and was disturbed by all the misogynism. Given that, you’d think that Connery and Fleming would have had a rapport.

I’m surprised he remembered the boy’s name.

I bow down to you.

The family cottage is northeast of Toronto. We have been “playing by the rules” so to speak, but our neighbours had 9 cars for the Thanksgiving weekend. Friends in Toronto drove their kids home from their respective universities for the dinner. As long as everyone is so blase and selfish about themselves and not…

You take Meng Wanzhou and we’ll take back Amy Cooper.

Agreed, but without the falling down the stairs part.

It gets later as you get older. When I was 20, 9 pm on a Saturday was the start of the night. With marriage, kids and age, 9 pm is winding down time. If you phone me now after 9, I automatically think something bad has happened.

Wow. David Frum is staunchly GOP. Then again, he admitted that he voted for Hillary last time.  I guess he isn’t a Trump republican.

When I was in Kindergarten, it seemed all of my classmates were getting little brothers or sisters. I wanted to be the center of attention, so I fibbed that my mother was having a baby and a few weeks later, I said that she had had the baby. One evening as my mother was tucking me into bed, the phone rang and my…

Another option for the rich is to go to Canada or any other country where abortions are available to those who can pay.  The Irish went to England for years.  (Nice to know that Ireland may end up being more progressive than the US.)

Awww.  He’s Canadian.

Agreed. My house backs on a park. The dog owners are chatting away, at a pre-COVID distance without masks. The six year olds in the playground are acting all pre-COVID, too. As long as everyone behaves like it’s a year ago, the virus isn’t going away and I’m anticipating a miserable locked-down winter with another job…

Sorry, but Kamala is going to be the first female president.

With my mother, who had dementia, every month or so I’d ask her who the President of the US was and of course she wouldn’t know. Every time I told her that Trump was president, she’d look in disbelief and say, “What? No! Really?” She was precious.

Doesn’t the Hippocratic oath contain “do no harm?”

There is certainly a very detailed pre-nup between them, probably with a non-disclosure clause. But yeah, as soon as he’s out of office, she will extricate herself from the marriage.
