“It's one thing to look a gift horse in the mouth; it's another to steal the incisors and molars when you think no one is looking.”
fun mixed metaphor
If you are given a horse, it’s *your* horse, you *can* take the teeth. It’s not stealing.

/5 Presumably Lowry penned his screed before Trump’s tantrum today, but the parallels in thinking are shocking. Donald Trump is Rich Lowry stripped of pseudo-respectable elite-Right veneer: a gutter bigot spewing verminous hate.

re: that crappy essay
I spent my first two years of college at a small evangelical school. Using the bible as a source for non-bible classes was a quick way to get dinged. Even theology discouraged without other sources it since it’s a hard text and most people misread it.

I love redefining a word to be only bad valued and feel superior to people who identify with the word without a value judgement. Many cases.
Tourists are an interesting group in that they consistently deny what we all know they are. I can’t think of anything that screams tourist more than reducing each experience down to charm bracelet size and wearing it around. If tourism is your thing, just embrace it!

I imagine people are going to complain about Zendaya in The Odyssey even though it’s inevitably going to be the standard bad female character in a Nolan movie.

wonder if “Dems” are related to that Greek thing where power is vested in people (plural)
We polled Dems on who their leader is. They had no idea.

I hate opening tickets with helpdesk.
I used to do sysadmin-ish work, actually read IT’s troubleshooting guides, and use some finicky applications.
I know I’m the one that always submits weird incidents that just hang on your board for weeks.

Jack also turned down Cheney’s offer to be king of Iraq.
We unfortunately don’t know when the offer was made but I like to imagine it was after the gay bomb since Jack seems like a caring lover.
