The Misogynistic Abuse Directed at Rory McIlroy’s Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence.

“The behavior was pure misogynistic abuse, and it’s a growing movement in American culture right now.” www.glamour.com/story/the-mi...

Nice save

The idea that one guy on a whim can arbitrarily increase prices on whatever he wants is, I have to say, really stupid. If only we had some sort of legislative body with the power to stop him!

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 15, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS, SUBJECT: ImEoundment Authority David Chew asked our office for general information on the President's impoundment authority. He originally asked Joe Wright for such information and was provided the packet at Tab A, but thought a clearer exposition was necessary. I talked with Chew to obtain some sense of what he was interested in, and he indicated that the issue of impoundment was raised in general discussions of how to achieve budget goals. The attached memorandum simply outlines the requirements of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, 2 u.s.c. §§ 681-688, touches upon the unresolved Chadha issue presented by that Act, and attempts to dampen any hopes that inherent constitutional impoundment authority may be invoked to achieve budget goals. As noted in the memo- randum, the question of whether the President has such authority is not free from doubt, but I think it clear that he has none in normal situations, and we should discourage Chew and others from considering impoundment as a viable budget planning option. Our institutional vigilance with respect to the constitutional prerog- atives of the presidency requires appropriate deference to the constitutional prerogatives of the other branches, and no area seems more clearly the province of Congress than the power of the purse.

Huh
