Given his obvious mastery of good decision making, I 'm sure he'll be in multi-million debt in about a week.

So I'm sure next he'll be coming out against the cycle of dependency known to some as "corporate welfare," all those billions spent on tax breaks and incentives for established, profitable companies (often with billionaire CEOs).

More intuitive? To you maybe. It feels awkward to me, and I have to make a point about doing it.

I have never wished a man dead, but I have read certain obituaries with pleasure (paraphrasing Oliver Wendle Holmes).

Roast Turkey. I cut mine up and braised it. It come out tasting like gravy, because it effectively cooked in its own gravy for an hour and a half. And not one bit of it was dry or overdone - or flavorless, for that matter. Why anyone bothers with roasting the damn things, when braising is so fantastically superior, is…

Yeah, one guy was an asshole, so lets's screw over everybody else. Strange sense or tight and wrong you got there.

It was already named after a president. Damned Reagan idolaters.

Having once been in a jet that had to jump another one after attempting to land (shades of Tenerife) I was a fearful of flying for many years. I once flew British Air, and my seat was situated so that this stewardess was face to face with me when we took off, and she got see how unhappy I was about the whole thing.…

Yeah but she's set. She will basically look the same for 30 years and people will go "Lorde is 50? Man, she looks 20."

Um, what?

I'm off by about 10%. On the other hand, I have about 4-5 times my salary in home equity, so maybe not so bad.

I'm going to guess "cheese" powder.

That officially sucks. Sorry, bro.

I have to remember this was 1970. Anyone who read out the same lines today would clearly be joking. While fully prepared to believe he meant every word of it, I'm too young to parse this - anyone who was an adult or aware teenager back then - is he 100% serious or do you detect some snark?

Based on the rednecks in my Facebook feed, George Washington would figure prominently.

Once again, not me. Well, there's always next year!

Uh, tuition has skyrocketed since we went to college. It's not even the same neighborhood. States have drastically cut funding for universities, administrations have doubled in size, etc. There's a reason people are complaining.

No - Wall Street did that. Sorry, but you can't get a bad loan unless someone gives it to you. Then those finance idiots had the bright idea to bundle those bad loans into bonds, put a cherry on top, and sell them as Triple-A investments to unsuspecting people around the world. Then the real fun began, as these bonds…

I have a friend who moved to Buffalo recently for very good money. I'm sorry, no amount of money would get me there, not if it involved hanging out during lake-effect snow season.

Wow. You must be just awesome at parties.
