That lying fraud George Santos took his case to Fox News - home of lying, dishonest politicians - where he could make his case by pointing out how much larger a liar Joe Biden was. I think he should be removed from office and the election for that seat redone.

DR George, JAY's advertising is often as shaky as the CD credits. That SHOW BOAT recording is not the 1946 version; it's the licensed R&H rental package, as you can hear if you compare the 1946 revival cast recording with the JAY.

I was told she was at 112 Street, not West 56th, I told her - I think it was a woman and the accent and traffic noises did not help - I was taking a taxi home.

DR Singdaw it was outside pipes freezing that caused the inside fire sprinklers to go off inside four units on Christmas Eve day.  Fortunately for us, they were not in our building.

That happened at the Fitton Art Center in Hamilton, OH, (where DR Elmore gave a lecture several years ago) and at the state capitol in Columbus.

Oh my.

ChasSmith, it's a fantastic album - The Bad and the Beautiful and Too Late Blues are the first two tracks, the Tanglewood Concerto is wonderful as are the Three Ballads for Stan. The concerto is written by the amazing Eddie Sauter, the three ballads for Stan by Alec Wilder, the two movie themes by David Raksin. The cover photo by Avedon.

Well, our little creepy stalker has done her dirty business on the Tis the Season to Be Murdered Amazon page - how do we know it's her? Because every utterance is a repeat of the exact same utterances she's done on my other books, both on Goodreads and Amazon - every utterance. The joke is, she quotes whole passages of dialogue, criticizing them for being repetitive, when that's the entire point of the rhythm of the banter between Harry and Bernice. Go read it - there are several new reviews up. This woman is such a loser, so bitter, so obnoxious, and most of all, so sick in the head. If you're reading this, Barbara, you are as disgusting a human (and I use that word loosely) as I've ever come across. Actually, let's just say it - you're a pig. A real, grade-A, honest-to-goodness pig and yes, that was repetitive, too. Give us your thoughts about this pig, won't you?

Of course, some could go on her books (if you want to call them that) and leave one-star reviews and just ape what she did. Except she doesn't write under her own name - and none of her books have ANY reviews. Here's an idea - can someone update their review and call her out - say she's a longtime stalker of the author and has done this kind of thing under a variety of different names both on Amazon and elsewhere and don't take it seriously.

While I don't like writing reviews I do use them for guidance.  All the reviews can't be good, however, I can get a good feel from a mediocre review and decide if the reason for the review indicates I should avoid or if it is something I want to read.  This review mentions banter.  I like banter and other reviewers enjoyed it. I like reading about old LA.
