“...massive, vainglorious wedgie.”

That’s some writing skill set, Jane!

As always, a fully entertaining read.

I wish you were competing with the "Evening News" crowd, who have so little to bring.

Well Done, Jane Wells.

Excellent read as usual. A sad commentary though on the decline of the American Empire.

i laughed, I cried (Dame Judy Dench), but mostly I smiled in recognition of good writing and the layers of humanity being peeled back the truth exposed. Jane's the best!

Jane, your turns of phrases always delight! I’m with Stephanie (above) - you had me at “ massive, vainglorious wedgie”

After reading D&D, I always feel like the smartest one in the room but then you had to use sentient and bloviate and now I'm back to plain old me. I just wish we didn't have to wait a month for D& D. I like how not even the NY Times can escape being added to your list. Jane Wells=Veracious........

“Bloviate” is a word we need to say more. “Sentient” is what we need to be more.
