And it bites off your snout,
That’s a moray.

Stand by your pan,
Just when the turkey’s cooking,
If it’s not done, keep looking,
Don’t want the fam to sicken.
Stand by your own,
Until it’s brown and sizzles,
If it burns, get a chisel,
Next time, just get a chicken.
Stand . . . By . . . Your . . . Pan.

As both of my schools are locked up in this crap, I’m stunned at the Jewish alums who are totally cool with making common cause with the Trumpalos. One guy told me that he would accept “any allies” in the fight against antisemitism. Really? You cool with this?

Can’t really speak to him, as I’m in VA and follow politics here closely. Ciattarelli always seemed like he was more comfy sucking up to Trump.

No, I think he did. They worked the SW part of the state hard, and squeezed a few points out there (not that there’s a lot of people). Terry’s gaffe on education gave Youngkin an opening with the Volvo moms of NoVa - yes, he lost the areas, but held the margins down. And he SOUNDED reasonable.

One employee told another employee at my last job (I was there for 25 years, and retired), when a problem arose that they thought was going to get them fired, to talk to me, because I would help them, and I could be trusted.
