I'll talk about the woman who died:

Setting yourself on fire is some serious ----. Self-immolation offers no guarantee of the desired result.

Quite an attention-catcher, even if you're not a Buddhist monk.

I was hoping for a photo from Boaz's obsession list.

I would surmise more democrats should be looking out in this Epstein stuff than anyone.

Why do you surmise that, Boaz? Democrats overall are far, far more interested in the well-being of women and girls.

It's Republicans (mostly white evangelicals) that, I would surmise, are the main repository of barely closeted homosexual office-holders and kiddy diddlers.

I surmise that because it's in the news all the time.

Always is an option, for anyone.

"To be or not to be . . ." and all that.

A town near where I used to live (74 percent Trump voters) enforced architectural standards on a Dollar General (!) that was coming into their frou-frou community.

I wanted to tell anyone with sense that a new Dollar General store is not a leading indicator of economic upturn.

With a name like that, you have to factor in the occasional @$$ beating.

Occasionally a clown, but an important figure in late-20th-century America.

Religion applied to politics can work.

RIP.

each and every one of them has the emotional maturity of a twelve-year-old, and they all believe they deserve all the attention, all the accolades . . . all the time.

they're bratty, self-entitled preteens who get bent out of shape over the pettiest ------- ----.

A few Retorters come to mind.

She made a simple mistake. She meant to say, "the wrong people" and "the wrong leaders."

As someone who has done this very thing, I always laugh when the outlets, which are run much like a manic sales floor, call themselves plasma donation centers, like people are going to get an altruism award with their $35 Visa gift card.

It is not 1099 income, though. Yet.

Vexatious litigant.

Nephi. A Mormon?

Kushner has been a slimy, weasly POS since day one.

If he heard Yiddish in his house instead of German, he'd know the phrase shanda fur de goyim.

A shame in front of the Gentiles. Exactly what he is.

Then again, I presumed Trump was Jewish, until his presidential run. To me, as a NYC Jew, he always seemed kinda Jewy. Definitely not Presbyterian. Maybe Episcopalian.

". . . 'Well, all this white stuff on my arm is LSD.'

"He immediately grabbed my arm and began slurping it up. I wondered, How low have I fallen? Would I dare to suck a sleeve?"
