#1 ....from Benghazi to ~~Grace Bros.~~ Goldman Sachs.

"Are you being served?"

Are You Being Served? is a British Sitcom that ran from 1972-1985. The show revolved around "Grace Brothers Department Store" and in particular the goings on within the "Gentlemen's Ready-To-Wear" and "Ladies' Separates and Underwear" Departments. A store reorganization forced these two departments to share floor space, and the conflicts that this created set the tone for most episodes. Are You Being Served? showcases a bygone period of time in which the class structure was still very much alive. There was a strict heirarchy within Grace Brothers. Everyone knew their "places" and remained in them, unless, of course, there was a chance for advancement and then it was every man and woman for themselves. A spin-off series of Are You Being Served? was released, called Grace and Favour. Although in the U.S, it was named Are You Being Served? Again!

#3 Tergiversations? n. The act of abandoning something or someone, of changing sides; desertion; betrayal.
n. The act of evading any clear course of action or speech, of being deliberately ambiguous. Seems like a good word to describe Hillary and many other Donks. Hillary's Odyssey? Emphasis on "odd."

#4 Given the personality involved, To serve man seems more appropriate.

#5 I eagerly follow Hillary's doings, if only out of curiosity, to learn how much drain bamage she suffered last year.

"Are you being served?"

My mom turned me on to that show (along with the Bucket woman). Just the other day I stumbled across this comp of Mrs. Slocombe "moggy" clips. Probably NSFW in this constipated age.
