So that’s why they’re calling it stimulus spending.

For a couple who fled Britain to avoid the media attention, M&H still like the cameras. I was believing that when they left, they would lead a quiet life in the US, doing good works and getting photographed at a gala or two every year. So far, they are coming across as media whores. (Sorry for the vitriol, but I…

Whenever I see this guy I think, “There’s Holden Caulfield.” 

The main reason was probably because Don Rickles died and they didn’t want to find another actor to imitate his voice.  For TS4 they used old recordings.

That’s just for books, though.  What is it for journalism?

The only positive thing that can be said about Tiger Woods’ accident is that the Genesis appears to be built for safety.

Agreed.  I watch TV and movies to escape the dreariness of my life.  I don’t want to be reminded of it.

When the Brittany/Justin break up happened, I heard that it was due to a pregnancy scare and he didn’t behave very well about it. I guess that wasn’t the true reason, then.

Can someone explain to me why home ownership is the be all and end all? Most Europeans in cities rent and there’s no stigma with that. All that extra cash that you aren’t using for a mortgage down payment and for property taxes, repairs, etc. could, if invested wisely make you pretty comfortable later. You would…

Yes! In the 90s I had a man that I trained promoted above me and he ultimately became the head of my department. When they set up a new department, I worked on a test to make sure the department would run and when the test was over I asked the supreme boss (a known misogynist who liked to hire women with short skirts…

And as the grandmother in Malcolm in the Middle.  Everything she did was amazing.

Melania has failed to announce her plans for the future?  One would think it includes getting the best divorce lawyer she can find.

Isn’t that the Melania doppelganger?

There’s a series of Christmas ghost stories published by Biblioasis in Canada illustrated by the graphic novelist Seth.  There are over 15 in the series and they release another 3 every year.  I like them because they’re small enough to be actual pocket books.

It will probably Danbury.

Since the closest I’ve come to the English upper classes is Downton Abbey and The Crown, it seems to me that those couples like to have their own bedrooms. Then again they usually have the space.

As much as I enjoyed his books, the man was a stinker, period. Patricia Neal’s autobiography laid it out quite well. Yes, he helped to rehabilitate her (in a sort of sadistic way) after her stroke and they had their share of heartache, losing one child and having another with a brain injury due to an accident. Dahl…

Sorry, but the biggest drama of the institution in the 20th Century was Edward’s abdication.

Keep in mind that in Scotland, if you’re a Scot, you get free university education.  It’s a country that is quietly enlightened.

Their taste is in their mouth.
