GAHHH! … Sorry, what I meant to say is hello and welcome. You’ll have to excuse me; I’m not used to faces that are quite so… dehydrated.

I see that the pockets of your denim pants are full of free samples, which means you’re probably going to ask if I take insurance. Might I suggest you see a student esthetician at the cosmetology school in the basement of Walgreens instead? Their clients hardly ever go blind.

No need? So, in order to pay me, you’ve taken out a loan the size of a down payment on a seaside mansion? C’est bon.

Now, let’s take a look at your face with the most horrifying magnification tool I have.

Furrow your brow. Unfurrow it. Smile. Frown. Jump up and down. Spin around. Sit. And don’t ever forget that you’re mine now. I own you.

All righty, I see acne and wrinkles. I guess it’s wrong what they say—women can have it all.

Regarding your eyes, if there were a crow with feet so enormous that all the other crows shunned it, causing this crow to die alone in its little crow apartment, those would be your crow’s feet.

“Led” is the past tense of “lead.” L.E.D. Not L.E.A.D. Example: “Fran, who leads the group, led the meeting.” When professional publications get the small stuff wrong, it makes us less trusting about the big stuff. Trust in media is already at an all-time low. Don’t alienate liberal arts majors and obsessive compulsives. We may […]

Macron & Many European Leaders Call For WWIII?

So, French leader Macron thinks Europe should send troops to Ukraine to fight Russia. (This is colloquially known as “declaring war on Russia.”)

rench President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that sending Western troops to Ukraine should not be ruled out, as European leaders concluded a summit on supporting Kyiv.

“There is no consensus today to send ground troops officially but … nothing is ruled out,” Macron said at a press conference in Paris, where the meeting had just wrapped up. “We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war.”

“The defeat of Russia is indispensable to the security and stability of Europe,” the French president added.

He’s got problems, personally and politically No wonder he’s acting crazy: If President Joe Biden has any advantage going into the 2024 presidential election, it’s that former President Donald Trump’s legal fees and primary challenges are a significant drain on the Trump campaign’s finances.  Indeed, with money playing an increasingly prominent role in political campaigns, particularly presidential contests, both Trump and Biden are facing a very similar problem, albeit for different reasons, and to varying degrees.

That ad is from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Campaign for Democracy. T The ad from Campaign for Democracy, which was shared first with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” features a young woman handcuffed to a hospital bed, screaming for help while a narrator tells viewers, “Trump Republicans want to criminalize young women who travel to receive the reproductive care they need. Don’t let them hold Tennessee women hostage.” “These guys are not just restricting the rights, self-determination to bear a child for a young woman, but they’re also determining their fate as it relates to their future in life by saying they can’t even travel,” Newsom told “Meet the Press” on Saturday. Campaign for Democracy plans to run the ad in Tennessee because of two bills active in the state legislature — one in the state House and one in the state Senate — that would create the crime of “abortion trafficking,” or helping minors obtain abortions without parental consent.
