Stravinsky and atonal stuff would be especially irritating.

Again, he should let her sweat and do all the work. Much of this may be bluffing and attempted extortion.

If you don't like the stuff, you'll have bought quite a bit of it.

That, too. If the colleges were on the hook, no way would they let deadbeats off the hook.

Paul Sperry again exposes the media hypocrites. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Washington Post's Feared 'Pinocchio' Fact Checker, Forthrightness Dies in 'Updates' to Biden-Burisma Story [...] Kessler's fact check has not aged well. Just last week Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer, testified before Congress that the article was "not correct reporting." Instead of retracting the article – as the Post did with some of its debunked Russiagate coverage – or running a straightforward correction, the paper has appended a series of "updates" to its reporting.

Do not displease, irk, or mess with the capable Y ma'am, no man!

I suspect a withdrawal of Plat/Rhodo/Chry'mum status.

Wasn't it Jane Austen who never married, or am I thinking of one of her contemporaries?

Exactly the day after any negative Bidementia news breaks, a new Trump indictment comes out.

Chicas have done this since time immemorial. Cavemen who were strongest and fastest (the best hunters and providers) had their choice of cavewomen. The problem in modern times is when professional women who have done well in their own right still seek to "marry up" -- the prospect pool is limited, and it's constricted further when the rich dudes consider the benefits of coupling with a 25-year-old versus with a 39-year-old whose biological clock is deafening and who's probably seeking her first real relationship after spending her earlier years building her life professionally.

I never really understood what was offensive about "Redskins" in the first place. The fight song, Hail to the Redskins, was actually pretty cool. I look forward to hearing about this lawsuit as it proceeds. The decision to return to the name might be based on how many season tickets NAGA buys.

This is done by younger women, too. Yawn.

All student loans should be offered, guaranteed, and underwritten solely by the institution of "higher" learning. Someone needs to point out where in the Constitution it says that the Feds are authorized to make student loans.

Cat T-B. was getting chubby, and the vets kept claiming this. Switched her to Fancy Feast Petites (grilled, not paté). Now, she'll eat nothing but. One twin-pack for breakfast, one for lunch, one for din-din. Voluminous but not-usually-smelly poop.

Our Official Weekly and Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Jokes are known to dislodge approvals*, engender positive news*, and cause everyone to laugh until milk (or beer) comes out your nose. Accordingly, here is Wednesday's Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: *that is, if correlation = causation ======================================================= TOO MUCH ALIKE A depressed blonde, very down on herself, walked into a bar. The bartender asked, "What's the matter?" Nearly in tears, the blonde replied, "Well, I have these two horses, and I can't tell them apart. I don't know if I'm mixing up their riding times or even feeding them the right foods." The bartender, feeling sorry for the blonde, suggested, "Why don't you try shaving the tail of one of the horses?" The blonde brightened up and said, "That sounds like a good idea. I think I'll try it." A few months later, she returned to the bar in worse condition than she was before. "What's the matter now?" asked the bartender. The blonde tearfully said, "I shaved the tail of one of the horses, but it grew back, and I can't tell them apart again." The bartender, now just wanting her to shut up or leave, says, "Why don't you try shaving the mane? Maybe that won't grow back." The blonde stopped crying, had a few drinks, and left. A few months later, she was back in the bar. The bartender had never seen anybody in this sorry of a state. Without being asked, the blonde spoke of her problems. "I... I shaved the mane of one of the horses, and... it... it grew back!" The bartender, now furious at the blonde's general stupidity, yelled, "For crying out loud, just measure the stupid horses. Maybe one is slightly taller than the other one!" The blonde couldn't believe what the bartender had said, and she stormed out of the bar. The next day, she came running back into the bar as though she had just won the lottery. "It worked, it worked!" she exclaimed. "I measured the horses, and the black one is two inches taller than the white one!"

That's what we're here for. We hope that things eventuate his way and that he doesn't get hosed in the slightest. Please do!
