Does not a single dictionary reside in the current Whitehouse?

‘I love how thin you are’ could have worked.

@Copper LOL I did not realize. 555 Where ever there is an opportunity, someone will find a way.

@George-K said in Oye! Beltalowda!: On the home from the barn this PM I saw a car with this bumper sticker. “Legitimate Salvage” I was going to tell Mrs. George, but I figured that she wouldn’t get it. All around Baltimore, you'll find "You get used to it" bumper stickers.

We could just make our own list. I'll start with Barry Soetoro And of course the Biden family

She could sing, and fronted for the Duke Ellington Band for awhile. That's one that everybody doesn't know. Variety said she had suffered from dementia since 2018.

If cats are invasive, humans should be on their knees in gratitude. They don't have to put up with us, ya know.

RIP. looked remarkably healthy even into his advanced years. Remarkable especially for a man his size.

@Horace said in Meanwhile, in Israel...: It's too bad that consumption taxes are so regressive. They are at least simple and elegant. Yeah. Seems like you could make them less regressive by strategically exempting a few classes of things or through targeted refunds. We do the first in most states with sales tax.

It is George Jetson's birthday today, you know.

Yes, but trees with an electric socket.

That's awesome.

Hadn't heard the flap story, but the piece does get one thing wrong...Stewart wasn't directed to fly that mission, he was actually on more of a 2-week dog & pony show. He wanted to go on a mission and the USAF allowed him to go. I don't think he was qualified on the B-52 at all. There is also a film he made for the USAF, touting the B-58, another plane that the film inferred he flew, but there are no records of him doing so. AFAIK, he was qualified on the B-24, B-36 and B-47. The B-36 was a big airplane, bigger than a B-52. In civilian life, he had several aircraft, the most famous being a P-51.

Yes, the brits was cited as an example of how a virtuous country arrests people.

@Jolly said in GOP sponsored Constitutional convention?: … it suddenly doesn't seem quite as scary... So why did you tell the readers to “be afraid, be very afraid” again?
