The Whiner is surrounded by the incompetent, the oblivious and the incomprehensible. Friends say he should do stand-up. But he'd rather just sit here and type. (Also: CML, CVID, married with a talented daughter-musician, and servant to a very spoiled cat.)
Don't know if you get the same Medicare Advantage TV spots that we do, but the one with a disembodied voice responding to a frustrated woman directly through the TV with "We're sorry, Karen" makes me look up from my work, every single time.

Meanwhile, he keeps talking about states where gas is 1.99 a gallon - but since he never says which states they are, it can be difficult for inflation-weary Americans to know where they should move to.

Full disclosure - Ford (and most other UNC players at that time) were very accommodating whenever I called their hotel rooms for interviews. He was particularly gracious and interesting, which made me an even bigger fan. I never tried calling Lee. (Only more accommodating team: mid-1970s Steelers.)

I would have bought the PPV if they also had him give flowers to himself.

Michelin would be more appropriate.

Wasn't sure about Butch Lee, but I was all in on Phil Ford.

Does that mean they'll change the name again, to Netflix MAX?

Miracles can happen with enough pressure.

However, with a D trifecta, SCOTUS has no say over expanding the Court. That's the only path to restoring some sense to this mess.

Kind of like "at the behest of of their superiors." (The family had a lot of buffers.)

What about Sam Alito?

Of course. This 6-3 majority is nothing if not consistent.

No one is seeing the reason behind this policy: we're supporting American lumber (and fake wood) companies.

No biggie. I'm sure she'll be seized and deported quickly. 😒
