In the interests of being a total buzzkill, Cubans, by law, get the red carpet when they make it to the US.

Gary didn't get elected to high office because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants.  We used to have a problem with shenanigans like that around here.

It wasn't a literal glass ceiling; it was some machines rigged to spew confetti that looked like glass shattering IIRC.

That is still awful.

Maybe if we had elected Cruz or Rubio as the first hispanic president, he should have approached the podium in a way symbolic of the hispanic experience. The lights go dark, and he crawls along the ground through a small opening in a fence blocking his way, while border patrol agents eat donuts nearby. Then he pushes a lawnmower for a while, before entering a library where he stops to read books such as de tocqueville's Democracy in America. He is inspired, changes into a suit, leaves the library, and ascends to the podium as president elect.

POTM.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I could see Cruz appearing from a rope atop the Capitol dome, in a Zorro cape and mask to the flourish of malagueña trumpets, and slashing off Nancy Pelosi's should straps one at a time with his rapier.  ¡Ay, chihuahua!

Liddy Dole and you know it.


Donna Rice, but Gennifer Flowers always made my no-touch places tingle with that 80's AquaNet-meets-Vixen hairdo.

Must be a mistake.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
