#1 Grassley is actually handling this pretty well. We have to give this woman a chance to tell her lies. We'll never hear the end of it in any event, but at least this way she had her 15 minutes.

#2 I still don't think the sorry SOB will ever testify. More money to be made from delaying the process and just letting the facts (or lack thereof) simply hang out there for months or years whilst covering yourself with the cloak of victimization and the sanctimonious #MeToo meme.

There are notable exceptions, but it has been my experience that where politics is involved, most of these creatures are nothing but trouble.

#3 Or pull Kavanaugh and cram Willett through with no hearings.

(Yeah, I know it won't happen, but it'd be delicious to see them replace the Bushie, somewhat cuckish Kavanaugh with someone more hardcore)

#5 Apparently now she's saying that she doesn't want to fly.

#6 Don't say "whilst." And don't say "kit" this is America. Just sayin'...

#7 Don't say "whilst."

I personally find it quaint and a reminder that not all Americans were born here. Or even live here, necessarily.

In Texas, it's common to see fridge magnets and bumper stickers saying "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could". America is like that.

#8 No unnecessary 'u's in words like color and humor, though. There I draw the line.

#9 I stick by what I said. God made you special, you don't need to use regionalisms to signal me that you are special. I was born knowing you are special.

#10 Want to report "incoming" in kilometers to people who have thought in miles all their lives?

#11 In America kit is a baby fox...

#12 The poor witch ( re: # 5) has more excuses than a third grader. If she doesn't like to fly, then she needs to sell her broom.

Yeppers. And we have a sense of humour about it... or humor, as the case may be. And regionalisms are great fun —I used to collect them.
