A ghost? Prez thinks. Guess it's possible.
"It's Mom, Donny," the voice said.
"Mom?" Prez flipped the light switch. There, before him, grin on his face, was NYC's mayor-elect.:

At the final performance of βBat Boyβ at City Center yesterday, the outpouring of affection for Kerry Butler was remarkable. Her performance (with Gabi Carrubba) of the enormously appealing βThree Bedroom Houseβ earned thunderous & sustained applause you donβt hear every day. Absolutely thrilling.

Grandstanding Utah governor blathers on about forgiveness without limit. Does this mean heβs changed his mind about calling for the death penalty?

When it comes to mild expletives...why don't people say, "Oh, rats!" anymore to express exasperation or similar annoyance? This was a staple of the 1960s, along with the epithet "rat fink." But, gradually, these went away. I say welcome the pestilential rodents back to the lexicon!

Yes, my 50th is where I learned that 2 of my classmates were great-grandfathers. Also, everybody left for home by about 10pm. I was apparently the only one who considered retiring by 1am as "early to bed."

This may be the most disgusting and terrifying component of this reckless piece of legislation. With this, I think all the horrors in Sinclair Lewisβs novel βIt Canβt Happen Hereβ may have been trumped (so to speak) by reality.
