  • My sister-in-law had a student loan that required 60 payments. The SIL made 62 payments before she thought to herself “I wonder how many payments I’ve made so far,” and after she counted up all the cancelled checks, she quit paying. They dunned her for quite a while. She sent copies of all 62 checks–front and back–at least twice before they agreed that she actually didn’t owe them any more dough. This was way back in the 1980s.

    If you don’t sift the flour, at least when making pie crust, the ghost of Mrs. Forbes, my 8th grade home ec teacher, will come back to haunt you. Sift, then measure, then sift again with the salt included.

  • From Althouse: He (Meade) thought it seemed as if someone in one of the Democratic legislators’ offices had opened a window to let them in

    He thought it seemed as if….. Now there’s an eye-witness report for you.

    There’s lots of people pointing out how it was Muslims who attacked Logan. But it was also Muslims who rescued Logan from her attackers. How come nobody ever points that out.

    Wouldn’t you have to buy a copy of Jonah’s book before you’d have standing to sue? Please tell me you didn’t buy one.

    I read “The Birthday Party” by Stanley Alpert. He was a US Attorney who was kidnapped by thugs in New York City and held for a couple of days. Those in charge of watching him spent their time smoking marijuana. Alpert said it made them calm and relaxed. He wondered if he would have survived it they’d been smoking crack or even just drinking. He decided that if he got out alive, he’d make a big donation to NORML. He thinks marijuana saved his life.

    Maybe Frum should read this book.

    PS–My mother had late-onset schizophrenia and she never smoked a joint in her life. Probably never even saw one. After she got sick, however, she did take up drinking with a pretty heavy hand.

    While I’ve never heard the Constitution read out loud, I did have to read the whole thing in the 8th grade. We even had to read the parts that got amended out later on. K-Lo obviously didn’t have Mr. Baird for her teacher in jr. high. (In the 10th grade, we had to read the Communist Manifesto!!!!)

    America has already survived the poisoning of the salad bar. Back in 1984 the Rajneeshee guys did it in the Dalles, Oregon.

    Paul McCartney and Sandy Koufax must have really perservered.
