I'm not sure the goal is to recover damages for Stormy. Dude also has a history as a political operative.

Applies to almost any data.

No, applies to individual studies. Which is why scientific consensus is never based on one study.

1. You should. Aside from Granache, it is as marvelous a grape as we have on the planet.

2. Concerning your comments about Martinis, I believe you are, intentionally or unintentionally, channeling Dorothy Parker. To paraphrase her: One martini, two at the most. Three I'm under the table, four, I'm under the host.

I'll skip to where you're going: I was not offering this to challenge climate change. Consensus there is unassailable. Stop reading into everything as an adversarial snipe.

And I meant "any type of data," Timmy, which should have been obvious.

1. I stand corrected. I have enjoyed Meiomi.

2. I have a Dorothy Parker book somewhere in the shelves. Someone gifted it to me. Not read it yet, but obviously I'm a fan of her signature line, "If you can't anything nice about anyone, sit next to me" (also paraphrased).

We i met Paigow she insisted on the bar at the Algonquin that had housed the round table. Ironweed was supposed to meet us. So you can see where P's conceits were, at least back then.

There's another video of him harassing someone on the street he assumed was foreign (but wasn't). I don't know anything that's not floating around the media.

You'll never score with Mrs. Coltrane with an attitude like that.

For Hank.

Yes, anti-Semitism is alive and well, and increasingly it masquerades as criticism of Israel. But as the executive director of T’ruah, a Jewish organization dedicated to protecting human rights here, in Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territories, I know it’s possible to criticize Israel without veering into anti-Semitism. I do it every day.
