Blasey Ford really was full of crap though. If the rape judge had actually been intending to rape her, you'd think he might have...I don't know, tried to kiss her, or at least cop a feel, or do SOMETHING while he was laying on top of her in a secluded room with the music turned up, other than just lay on her for two seconds and then roll off onto the ground and roll around laughing with his friend. This grown woman psychologist made the whole nation listen to an eight-hour hearing bc one time at a party a teenaged boy jumped on top of her to scare her and then rolled off. Like, that was actually the whole story. And she still has psychological scarring about this 30 years later??

Of course I did not like Kavanaugh for other reasons, mostly to do with not wanting ANOTHER conservative Catholic on the court...but that circus made it hard to keep hating him. The fact that he had a social life as a young man and liked to drink beer was a point in his favor at confirmation, IMO.

I was suspicious because the exact same thing happened with Anita Hill when the Democrats were afraid Roe v Wade was going to be overturned back in 1991. They turned out to be right this time, of course.

So you tried to flirt with Kryptogal on the plane and that's why she wants us to punch each other now?

If Walt manages to finish the novel, I will buy it, but the novel should come with a warning: "Read only when you are on Adderall."

it works as an over the top buzzword salad parody

I doubt if it could last a whole novel

It's sort of complete as is--he meets her and doesn't see her again.
