I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Vodka sauce" just doesn't fit comfortably in my brain. I'm sure it's lovely but I think I will continue to irrationally exclude it from my worldview.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Vodka sauce is delicious, and makes great pizza too.

The thing itself doesn't trouble me, I just can't make the name mean that in my head.

Our wings are not tired.

Yum, vodka sauce, which for unknown reasons I have never made but have happily consumed in restaurants.

Also, I think hippocampus might be a portal demon, just sayin'.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Generally the alcohol in anything seriously cooked burns/evaporates off, and what you're left with is the flavorings. Aside from the emulsifying properties in the vodka sauce, I can't imagine the vodka does much for the flavor of itself.

My favorite part of the article is the last lines about how Fred Trump's only loss was the money he invested in Donald.

Heh.

Unfortunately, I think we are stuck with Trump for five more years. I just hope we don't any sort of crisis in that time. The setbacks to environmental protects, the lack of concern about income inequity, the lack of immigration reform, the damage to international relations, and the courts are bad enough.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Trump's response to the tax thing is entirely predictable.

I have to go meet with a recruiter (poor me) and it is raining buckets. This is the kind of day where one should stay inside in a dim room, relaxing and reading.

Good luck with the recruiter, Dana. Channel your inner gorilla to cope with the rain, I guess.

Agreed! It is not raining here, but still.

Haven't seen any coverage but I'm going to guess Fake News!
