The fact that he apparently fell asleep in court la...

“As easy as pie”

Either I'm having a really horrible game day or there is something wrong with the Waffle puzzle today.

My library consortium has a 26 week waiting list for 'The Priory of the Orange Tree'. I just might order for my kindle.

Oi, I had a rough day.

It means Joint Fundraising Committee, but all of the money goes to Trump. And no, NONE of that is normal. Usually funds raised by the Republica...

I'll post George Will's column. The phrase “often in error but never in doubt” could have been coined for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The appellate court most frequently reversed by the Supreme Court in recent years should brace itself for another reprimand during Monday’s oral ar...

This is ... I don't even know what to call it, extortion?

“Walk this way”

Prior to last year I had presumed I'd read it at some point, but now I'm certain I had not. I was surprised how much of the story I was unaware of considering Dracula stories/folklore were a part of my youth. 'Creature Feature' Friday night movies were staples of sleepovers.

This. Agreed.

What a horrible waste, in every sense of the word.

Dave, I find Connections fun.. or terribly baffling! Although I believe I've become better at playing it. Inanna, yes, I think that would add to the difficulty.
