May I suggest a compromise of sorts? Rather than having to actually learn French (a few names will do) --- and yet still be able to sufficiently turn your stomach, I recommend the following dishes beloved of the French: tête de veau (calf's head) or couilles de mouton (sheep's testicles) and for your cheese course, L'époisses (perhaps the um..most pungent... of the French fromages --- if I remember correctly, the aroma of which is colloquially described as "pieds d'un facteur" or the "feet of a mailman"). In fact, you don't even have to partake to replenish your regurgitant. Just be in their vicinity.
I consider this to be a full and frank admission that his reasons given for stopping a Post endorsement of Harris were complete and total bullshit. We here knew it, but he just said “yup, you got it”.
More likely, "Communist Baby-Killing Dems Conspire with Jews to Repurpose Election-Stealing Space Lasers -- Pre-roasting Pets for Immigrant Satanic Banquets"
We need more CEOs like Penzeys and fewer like Amazon and Meta. Those soul-sucking evil men surrendered what little integrity they possessed to lick the boots of his orangeness.
Is the Post editorial board going to write another condescending editorial telling us that we just don't understand the traditional and very excellent reasons for Bezos' making this very ethical donation?
Several years ago, after the WaPo powers that be banned me from commenting, I called and e-mailed to cancel my subscription, both print and electronic. My electronic subscription was canceled, but apparently the Post didn't tell the local carrier to stop home delivery of the print edition. I quickly realized that there was a major disconnect between the Post and the local carrier. I said nothing to the Post, but periodically left the carrier large cash tips. This continued for several years (I re-subscribed for on-line access during the time) , until this past January, when someone discovered that I wasn't paying for home delivery. No more hard copy. I occasionally felt guilty about getting home delivery for free. Now I'm glad I did. Jeff Bezos can kiss my ass.
WaPo this morning had an article about 18-year-old Gukesh Dommaraju becoming the youngest person to be crowned chess’s world champion.
I posted the following comment, which was later deleted:
" Gukesh traded rooks and bishops. Can we trade Kash and Vivek for Gukesh?"
In addition to the $1M, did Bezos promise Trump he’d have WaPo comments scrutinized and delete any that hurt the feelings of Trump’s minions? Snowflakes need their safe space.
I canceled my Amazon Prime membership. Plenty of better places offer the same goods and have free shipping (or better yet, I can get out and go to a local store in person). I started using Bluesky for social media. I don’t want the other places making add revenue off of me.
Sorry, but the events of the past month have completely drained me of vomit. I had to settle for learning French.
You could vomit in French? Bleeeeechhh-oir.

Two out of three, anyway. I happen to love Epoisses, if it's not too far gone.
Well, I like your spirit.
If I hadn't already cancelled my Post subscription, I would now.
I was holding on because of Hesse, Hax, and Sietsema, but I just can't anymore. :(

Future Washington Post headline: "Ten billion people attend Trump second inauguration."
And Trump will still complain that he is getting shorted.
More likely, "Communist Baby-Killing Dems Conspire with Jews to Repurpose Election-Stealing Space Lasers -- Pre-roasting Pets for Immigrant Satanic Banquets"
Feeling pretty good about how I’ve avoided ordering anything from Amazon since the endorsement.
We need more CEOs like Penzeys and fewer like Amazon and Meta. Those soul-sucking evil men surrendered what little integrity they possessed to lick the boots of his orangeness.
Didn't have my preferred answer of 'It makes me want to kill Jeff Bezos with an ax.'

My Washington Pist paperboy urinated on my front lawn yesterday. What kind of kids are you hiring, anyway?
They are all instructed to, Bob. Part of their jobs.
The Czar abides.

Probably can blame it on Gene. Undoubtedly long term residual fall out from Currygate.
Apparently. Some MAGAt must have flagged your comment as "Offensive."
Welcome to the billionocracy. You think torchlight parades come cheap these days?
The bribe ... er, grease to get government contracts.

It's his money, and spending it in this way reveals much about his character.
He bought his reputation for a million Dollars -- I wouldn't give you a dime for it.
He paid a million dollars to sell his soul, and received nothing in return for it...
"ob se qui ous" looks like you're learning French, after all.
I wonder if Guiness is tracking the largest number of people to simultaneously say "Haw-haw!" imitating Maurice Chevalier's intonation?
