NPR senior producer. I love this fool country and this fool cat. And my grandfather had impressive melons.
Its. Autocorrect should be torched.

Talking about the debt is not sexy, though it is now a $38 trillion and growing problem. Administrations and parties will always prioritize spending on pet projects, but I don’t see any billionaires being pressed to help the country pay this beast off.

I’m so sorry for what your family has been through. What people don’t tell you is that you STILL have a relationship with your late parent, if you choose to. When it’s been a loving one, that love still guides you. You’ll always miss her, but she’s always with you. Hang in there.

She was light incarnate when she saw you in the office. She had THE BEST laugh. She loved art and books and clothes. She adored Josh and her granddaughters. And she really missed Lou Stamberg.

She always asked me about my boys.

Deep cut sending Gen Z to the Google machine … well played.

Or not when you consider that album.

But wait Santiago: That’s John Reid, who’s running on the GOP ticket in Virginia for Lt. Governor.

Jay Jones is running for attorney general. His opponent is current AG Jason Miyares.

To my knowledge, Miyares has not been involved in any pro-Nazi praise.

There’s the potty-mouthed for fun, the potty-mouthed for accuracy and the potty-mouthed as indicating a decayed, deformed or depraved moral core.

Shitshow, and if used in print, AP style says you have to hide it from delicate eyes: s***show.

Which makes it look like slutshow.

This is why I’m not a fan of hiding vulgarities. As a reader, I want to know what kind of potty-mouth I’m dealing with.
