It's the reductio ad absurdum of the (regrettably common) belief that the biggest asshole in the room is the most effective leader.

Oh yeah, I'm super worried about that one.

My theory is that every cable channel eventually betrays its name. Music TV? No music. The Learning Channel? No learning. The History Channel? and on and on.

whatever other problems I have, work will not be one of them for 10 days.

My PCP (who I think is very good & have been seeing since 1997) made an abortive move into "concierge medicine" ~15 years ago.
He was trying to avoid selling the practice out to the local hospital conglomerate, but enough of his patients said "oh, hell no" that he ended up with the conglomerate.

It's good! Though I admit I haven't done side-by-side with the real thing.

I thought I had seen everything on the Internet, but I don't believe I've ever encountered whipped women's hair.

Speaking as a [civilian] IT nerd, an arrangement that results in email address changes when somebody gets promoted doesn't seem optimal.

How about a ridge that's "smart" enough to keep the evaporator fan from icing over & locking up every few weeks? (Yes, it's a Samsung.)

I was not able to drink from the hose because I was too busy dodging lawn darts.

It was B. I'm sorry, I can't motivate myself to care about tomorrow's concert. At best I'm a third wheel and as soon as I'm done my clarinets are going into the shop to be overhauled and I'm going on vacation after getting tests to find out wtf is wrong with my arm.

I'm generally not a fan of Christmas decorations in the summer, but I'm willing to make an exception.

Yes, yes, I know, "dude, just start playing off of a tablet already."

The only way they could "learn" would be to admit they maybe once did one or two things wrong, and that ain't happening in this lifetime.

I subscribed! I kept all the issues for a couple years on a shelf in my office, then I ditched them when I changed jobs & they didn't seem worth moving.

My years as a student at a regional public university in the 1980s now seem like some kind of lost paradise.

And also nobody's going to give you the benefit of the doubt if you've been pundit-ing for 20+ years on multiple platforms and everybody knows your shtick. So you don't just get "that's a stupid take" you get "oh brother MM is at it again."

When our son was 15 he made extra cash umpiring Little League, but one of us had to drive him. One time we both went & stayed for the game. It was hilarious when the other parents found out we were there for the ump.

One of my favorite Christmas albums from my parents' collection was from a series put out by Goodyear!
