You and need to roll your tongues back into your mouths before your respective missus brain you with a frying pan.

Mine is dead...

Your.... tongue? Brain? Missus?

My wife, but we had a volatile relationship. On and off, long separations over 30 years. She died in 06 - lung cancer.

As college friend once told me, "I'm married, but I'm not blind!"

Or, "just because I placed my order doesn't mean I can't look at the menu".

It was worse for my son and step son. They took her death hard.

Is Ocasio-Cortez's Media Star Already Losing Its Luster?

Since achieving overnight stardom last June, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a news and social media darling of the left, praised as much for her radical socialist ideals as her media savvy. While the newly minted congresswoman entered the nation’s consciousness basking in the limelight, is her media star beginning to dim?

The timeline below shows the average percentage of airtime (as measured in 15-second intervals) on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, from June 1, 2018 to present that mentioned Ocasio-Cortez (using data from the GDELT Project’s processing of the Internet Archive’s Television News Archive).



From utter obscurity to overnight star, Ocasio-Cortez’s June 2018 New York primary win over 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley made her the most recognizable member of the incoming class of lawmakers. Yet, when it comes to television, her main benefactor has not been the liberal networks, but rather Fox News. Over the past six months Fox has devoted 0.16 percent of its airtime to her, compared with just 0.04 percent each for CNN and MSNBC. For comparison, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi over the same period garnered 0.93 percent of Fox News’ airtime, 0.6 percent of MSNBC’s and 0.46 percent of CNN’s.

Between her swearing in on Jan. 3 and Jan. 8, Ocasio-Cortez captivated the attention of all three channels, but as of Jan. 9, that interest seems to have largely faded away -- other than on Fox News. She also never seems to have fully recaptured the interest that immediately followed her surprise primary victory.

But she's still cute!

At least I know how to spell "dumbest", dummy.

But I have no doubt you think Cortez is smart. You probably think the toddlers at your local daycare are pretty smart, too.

Nearly enough to vote -- if their parents don't get tired f them and decide on a post-abortion.
