JFK was the Wokest president the USA has ever had.

Putting your name in front of his - on his MEMORIAL institution - is about as crass as one can get*

* I'm going to look back at this and think "you were so naive"

You've never seen Big Bird and this character in the same movie together.

Rustic charm

Oh gosh, I'm going to lie awake all night wondering what sort of visual this is.

How do you plan to address CGT avoidance by billionaires using schemes such as Buy-Borrow-Die etc?
