@garyyounge True. You need a better coverup. "Unicorns have far too many responsibilities to be pets. That's why Santa's elves make toy replicas."

@mattwhitlock @kateirby @GarrettHaake @OrrinHatch "Attractive" usually implies "not stunning in looks, but...." attracts people because of personality, demeanor, kindness, interesting conversation because well-informed...anything that other people might indeed find "pleasing" without being glamorous or sexy.

@hillhulse I remember 20 years ago when then-Rep Henry Hyde blamed "youthful indiscretions" and being "young and foolish" when he had a 5-yr affair with Cherie Snodgrass, a married woman. He was over 40 at the time of that affair - and not the last, acc. to her.

I went down to Salisbury
To listen to the choir,
A pair of Russian tourists
They were staring up the spire,
Staring up the spire, they were,
Silent and aghast,
Against the sky, hurtling by,
A piggy flying past.

@peltzmadeline That was 1969. Okay, then insist Tucker Carlson live without computers and cell phones and cable news - just for a start.
