Should I be disappointed in the summer? I haven’t heard even once “Despacito.”

My friend asked, “Am I a bad person?” “Why?” I questioned in return. “I don’t feel as bad or as sorry as I ought to because it was in Texas.”

It was a good day at the U.S. Open. Got to see Federer play. And then Martina Hingis shook hands with the daughter. The daughter reported that Hingis’s hand was remarkably soft.

With the college football season upon us, we will hear announcers use “true freshman.”  Are there “non-true freshmen?”  There are “red-shirt freshmen.”  But couldn’t the commentators just say “red-shirt freshman” or “freshman”?  Don’t those two terms exhaust the universe of freshmen playing college sports?  And don’t get me started on “prior to the snap, false start.”

President Trump is like the Bible or Shakespeare. You can find a quote from to support almost any position you want.

The panel on a news network was discussing whether healthcare is a right. This is not the correct question. It should be: Is universal healthcare good for society?

What percentage of potters are conservatives?
