Alex Forrest : [from her tape, which Dan is listening to] Hello, Dan. Are you surprised? This is what you've reduced me to. I guess you thought you'd get away with it. Well... you can't. 'Cause part of you is growing inside of me, and that's a fact, Dan, and... you'd better start... learning how to deal with it. 'Cause you know, I... I feel you. I taste you. I think you. I touch you. Can you understand? Can you? I'm just... asking you... to acknowledge your responsibilities. Is that so bad? I don't think so. I-I don't think it's unreasonable. And, you know, another thing is that you thought that you could just walk into my life, and turn it upside down, without a thought for anyone but yourself. You know what you are, Dan? You're a cock-sucking son of a bitch. I hate you. I bet you don't even like girls, do you? Ha! You disappoint me, you fucking faggot!

We may have a short recession next year, and it is OK, our economy is strong enough to handle it

In a WSJ story on an IRS data glitch reprinted on Bloomberg today (otherwise I wouldn’t have seen it): “The IRS and Treasury Department blamed a human coding error that happened last year…”

I guess that means the monkeys are in the clear this time.

We have created nearly ten thousand million jobs since President Biden took office, which is the fastest job growth in history (WH Press Sec K.Jean-Pierre)

It is impressive, indeed
