Why don’t you do YOUR homework and find out?

Disguising a sleazy accusation as a question is a particularly vile thing to do.

I didn't invent the "sleazy accusation." I read it somewhere and was shocked.

I don't remember where I read it, which is why I asked the question.

“I would think that kissing BS was punishment enough.”

LOL! Way back then though, I thought she was kind of cute. She stopped being cute when I found out how off-the-wall leftist her politics were. But what an actor Omar Sharif was! RIP
