If I wrote "got a Clinton", the possible references are many -- got a bribe, got caught lying, got caught obstructing justice, got away with a crime, got preferential treatment, got caught with underage prostitutes, got caught for sexual harassment, sexual assault, or rape ....

But a "Lewinsky" does not have any possible other meanings. She specifically told her friends she was going to DC to earn herself some kneepads and she did. She has nothing to complain about because she turned herself into a public joke. Just as Clinton has no reason to complain that history will remember him as the prez whose need for phone sex trumped national security.

I was actually trying to use an expression that was less objectionable than "blowjob". But I suspect that the panty-bunchers would squeal no matter what.

I can't imagine why anyone would think you have a misogyny problem. Totally mystifying.

Surely we are getting close to reaching our limit.

Yep, pretty close.

"I think we recognized that all of my football players are at-risk -- all of them -- really," Kelly told Notre Dame Insider. "Honestly, I don't know that any of our players would get into the school by themselves right now with the academic standards the way they are. Maybe one or two of our players that are on scholarship."

No, no, no, Coach Kelley. Don't admit that only one or two of your players could get into school without football. Most of us know that Notre Dame makes huge concessions for sports, but you can't say it out loud.

UNC article below it, when I read it.

Confession, my Catholic upbringing taught me, is good for the soul.

PC police have correctly ascertained that saying the phrase "you guys" is sexist. Whoa nelly (not Delly); fortunately, we jersey boys always go with: "you'se guys", which is more gender respectful.

Also declared by PC cops to be banned is calling America "the Land of Opportunity", which of course, under our European welfare state, is entirely accurate.

I prefer Tom Wolfe's I am Charlotte Simmons terminology, but then I do live in one of those Atlanta houses with lawns like breasts (from A Man in Full)

Maybe he was picking up some wedding presents for Brittney Griner.

He would have been taking them back. They are getting divorced.

I was hoping they could work things out after the mutual assault charges, WBA suspensions and community service. I guess true love doesn't conquer all every time.

"While the marriage of Ms. Griner and Ms. Johnson, who said she is not a lesbian, was greeted with skepticism by some, it was largely celebrated by fans, who welcomed the early baby news."
