I'm not sure his invocation of sec. 122 meets the requirements of the law. The law requires a severe balance-of-paymets deficit, yet the US balance-of-payments deficit is only about $50B, a tiny amount in an economy the size of the US.

I liked an quite Reilly used for one of the chapters in his book: "Golf is like a pair of bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a man".

Seriously. 15 years ago each generation of new phone brought large improvements in performance and usability. Now? Meh.

Well, he admitted that his policies and the shutdown were the main cause of the drubbing that the GOP took on Tuesday, yet he still is playing his losing hand. Seems like a good description of how to bankrupt a casino, if you're the house.

Somehow I seem to remember this woman named Ursula something or other winning multiple Hugo awards, but maybe that's just me.

It actually doesn't have enough space for large state dinners. I think the largest room has space for a couple hundred people. When a really large dinner is held tents have to be set up on the south lawn. But 90,000 square feet?
