So, if your friendly, neighborly New York Congresscritter abruptly turns around, does a person following him too closely get codswalloped by his protruding codspiece?

Pretty Irritated. WaPo did not ask me to help with SP’s emails.

I did not. I didn’t even try. Frankly pouring over that much talk over pipeline negotiations, tax reform, major ethics law overhaul, and energy policy. It was just too much substance for me to handle.

Although I am intrigued to see if there is an email trail about Russian planes in Alaskan airspace. I know Drudge carried that for a day back in, I think, 2007.

But look at it this way. You find that one email complaining about a Victoria’s Secret return, and you’re in.

I give Foley credit for going into the interview with a no holds barred approach. Took far more guts than Weiners presser.

i have a washer repairman here now. bc the POS Whirlpool fancy shmancy h/e washer we bought 3 or so years ago is getting a @#%ing ERROR MSG, which i looked up online and it's COMMON. anyway, xshub spent about an hour on the phone with whirlpool til they finally said they would cover the repair under the warranty. The guy is here now and i was complaining the POS is 3 yo and was 8-900$ and why is it broken already and he went on a long diatribe about NAFTA being the reason why, LMAO!~!

It’s very high efficiency. Uses almost no electricity when it’s broken. ;-)

The digital age tends to make certain appliances that much more annoying!
