I think most people who get paid to be smart are not smart; they're just well-connected and (especially if female) conventionally attractive.

Au contraire -- this year's local candidates are the future's state and national candidates. That's why it's important to cast an informed vote in every election, every year.

When I was five, my parents took me to see Sweet Charity. I didn't understand why it was a big deal that these ladies danced with those men. 😊

Given his extremely disrespectful behavior toward the court throughout this process, I think the judge might impose a brief prison sentence just to reinforce the point that no one is above the law.

It's joyous, moving, and inspiring -- everyone needs to see #SuffsMusical on Broadway! I predict it will win the Tony Award for Best Musical next month. 🗳️

It's to distinguish themselves from the hoi polloi who earn degrees from the Harvard Extension School, who can only call themselves graduates of Harvard University. Only Harvard College is the super-exclusive undergraduate school that people think of as "Harvard".
