"Politicians never accuse you of 'greed' for wanting other people's money - only for wanting to keep your own money."

Brilliant.

I’ve previously noted the urge to spend “a lot of society’s money” without being questioned. “Society’s money” is a rhetorical evasion that allows those who expect to do the spending not to regard themselves as greedy. Given their self-image as virtuous and entitled, that simply wouldn’t do.

I just played "Cheese or Font?" Thank you for showing me just how little I know about cheeses. Or typefaces.

Oh, come on. Everybody knows Newcastle is an ale, not a font or a cheese.

Fabric in a can = Bukake?

"Nun versus shark."

So is that Aqua-Nun and does she have her own comic?

[David]

You’d think there would be at least one comic devoted to the nun-shark genre.
