I know this is a tangent but: ISTR there \*\*is \*\*some kind of adult video awards ceremony and that it’s held in Las Vegas but I don’t remember what it’s called (although if it isn’t called the “Stiffies” they’ve missed an opportunity) and I ain’t googling it either.

[AVN Awards.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVN_Award) No clever names.

However, the UK has the [SHAFTA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHAFTA_Awards_(adult_video)) awards.

Too busy polishing their guns, whistling loudly and pretending they didn’t hear him.

DeVos could really benefit from an organized process that imparts a body of knowledge to people. Does such a process exist and if so what’s it called?

“What can be done about that is empowering parents to make the choices for their kids,” DeVos said. “Any family that has the economic means and the power to make choices is doing so for their children.”

And if families aren’t rich enough to send their kids to a private school, well, that’s not her problem, is it? Oh, wait.

i love how her response when she’s cornered is, “Every child is different.” Who knew running the Dept of Education of a large country would be so hard?

At least he didn’t try to [strand him somewhere like he did Comey.](https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/trump-furious-over-comey-plane-ride-so-he-swiped-at-mccabes-wife-report-says/)

> It’s not news to say that President Donald Trump dislikes Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, but he made things personal, at least according to a new report. This story dates back to May 2017, the day after James Comey got fired as FBI Director. **Trump was mad that the outgoing director managed to ride a government-funded flight from Los Angeles back to Washington D.C.** , so he called McCabe, according to sources for the NBC News. Trump wanted to know why the fired Comey managed to fly on the plane despite having no government job. McCabe, serving as Acting Director, said he wasn’t asked to permit the flight, but then said he would have given it the okay if asked, according to three sources familiar with the call.

She tries to make a point, and then at the second “–” reverts back to a rehearsed piece of nothing.

\<\<DeVos continued, “It does come down to individual kids. And – often comes down to – I am committed to making sure that students have the opportunity to learn in an environment that is conducive to their learning.”\>\>
