Dan SinkerHey dudes, get that vasectomy.
@CNN Ooh, I know! Is the answer: Wait 4 years then dish for Bob Woodward's next book?
@SteveThompson @[email protected] It would be funny to see Trump have to change all his cheesy "47" swag to "48."
Randahl FinkGerman language question: In English, if you want to create a random name which could mean anyone, people often talk about “John Doe”, as in the sentence, “Any John Doe could have done it” — meaning anyone could have done it.
In Danish we sometimes say Mr. Hansen or Ms Jensen.
What do you say in German? And is it even common to use these made up names in a sentence?
Grammar TableComing soon: a rollicking new grammar road trip movie! In a divided time, conversations at the Grammar Table help answer the question “How can we all get along?” If you would like to support the film, please consider making a pledge to our new Kickstarter campaign. Link in next post.
Still stunned that the man who believes — who really believes — childless women have too much power in our country is about to be one heartbeat from the presidency.

Laffy“I don’t worry about our losing republican govt bc I’m afraid of a foreign invasion. I don’t worry about it because I think there is going to be a coup by the military, as has happened in some places. What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough... some one person will come forward and say, ‘Give me total power and I will solve this problem.’ That is how the Roman republic fell.” https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/david-souters-prescient-remarks-ring-true-12-years-later-rcna178936
On top the many, many things I'm worried about, I just remembered another one: Poland.
