Top earners in the U.S. no longer pay a marginal rate of 90 percent, but pay a hair less than 40 percent. Also, investment income is taxed at a different, and much lower rate. The government must run on borrowed money, our universities and research institutions are being downsized, and the magnificent infrastructure that was built in the postwar decades is rapidly decaying, but proposals to raise the top marginal rate are met with strong resistance.
I am very encouraged by the courage of these students. It is no small thing to break the bonds of custom and history for the sake of justice. Seeing this through shows a high level of personal strength and commitment, which will certainly follow them in their educational and professional careers. College recruiters and employers take note!
Lady Macbeth says to her husband: "My hands are of your colour; but I shame To wear a heart so white." He is distressed and guilty over the murder that he just committed, but she is ashamed that he shows such weakness.
You know, I didn't 'get' the 'tongues' thing at first. Now I understand! It's all an attempt to write "tongs" that went wrong. Sorry. Not as sharp as I'd like some days.
"Et cavendum valde ne permittantur libri aperti per noctem uni cattie venire possunt." Wow! Wisdom through the ages. Of course, now we would substitute "laptop" for "libri".
It would be a big boost to the Catholic Church if they were to decide the next Pope through trial by combat. I hear that Rome has an old colosseum that may be suitable with a little renovation. Whenever I bring this up, the response is always positive!
Chopsticks are the best way to eat noodles! They're also unbeatable for eating salad. I hate trying to chase around a stubborn bit of lettuce that's too thin to be meaningfully pierced by a fork as it adheres to the side of the bowl. Chopsticks are also good for Cheetos and popcorn.
I am disappointed. I was expecting an April Fools-type narrative describing the annual snow harvest, followed by interviews with the Canadian Snow Minister, who will lament the projected future of the Canadian snow industry in light of global warming.
Wait a minnit! You mean every town they passed through was BOMBED? The Fall of Paris may have been just a coincidence, but for them to leave JUST BEFORE each town was destroyed is too much to leave to chance. I can't believe they were allowed to come into the U.S.
They are making a type of mochi, which is steamed sweet (or glutinous) rice that has been pounded into a starchy, sticky mass. In this case, the rice has been mixed with something green, but at times the same product can be white. The hand-pounded mass will go into a machine that is kind of visible in the back, and will be divided into uniform balls of rice paste. These go down a conveyor and are rolled in a toasted sweetened soybean powder. They may also be flattened and folded over a bit of sweet bean paste, then rolled in soybean powder. It's a pretty nice snack. A little sweet and sticky. This particular shop seems to have many videos posted of different stages of pounding. The short clip here shows the final, and fastest, stage. I am amazed that they can do this kind of thing and not lose a hand.
While a PhD is nice, he should get a Nobel Prize. His work was ground-breaking, and provided insights into many other diseases now known to be caused by prions, including "Mad Cow Disease" and, I think, Alzheimers Disease.

To wear a heart so white."

I hope the president actually said that the "statute of limitations" had passed.
The universe is a fruit fly embryo!
Sorry. Not as sharp as I'd like some days.
Wow! Wisdom through the ages.

I am glad *someone* is serious about the threat of K-Pop.
