Isn't most pasta made in the US, though? I would assume the Italian import segment is a pretty small percentage, right? (Not defending the tariffs in general, of course, but this one seems pretty benign, no?)

I was outed on a tourist on my first trip to NY when I asked how to get to Houston St. I received a correction dripping with disdain. I treasure the memory of this most quintessential NY experience.

What is the "Biden autopen scandal" doing in this list? Is he losing track of which conspiracies are his?

Another disadvantage of an aging Congress...

Oh! That is also my favorite Steve Martin movie! Merv Griffin!!

Reminds me of starting for home after big solar eclipse in '17. We're looking at thousands of cars trying to get on the interstate in a tiny town in SW Wyoming. Total gridlock and Google was just ignoring that data and saying it was a normal drive-time. It wouldn't even suggest an alternate route!

Feb 28 is the economic boycott date.

How about this: don't stop at one day. Don't stop, period.

NO amazon. NO target. NO airbnb. NO whole foods. Boycott all these MAGA billionaire companies starting feb 28 and going to infinity.

I'm from Tennessee and worked as a teen with a fellow named - honest to God - Bubba Boner. He was a junior and his real name was Harry. He was related to a famously corrupt Nashville mayor, Bill Boner.
