Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

I wonder if I’ll ever fall in love or a crevasse.

If I got a letter of recommendation like this I would look into moving to a different planet

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Japan reveals new name for 40C-and-hotter days after blistering summer The term - kokushobi - translates to "cruelly hot", "brutally hot" or "severely hot", and comes after Japan's hottest summer on record.

A new language for climate change was voted in: “kokushobi” heat, >40°C (104°F), from the Japanese word koku, meaning harsh or cruel. 2nd choice for the new heat term was ‘super-extremely hot day’ or ‘cho-mosho-bi’, while ‘sauna day’, ‘stay-at-home day’ and ‘boiling day’ were also among the choices.

A large wild turkey stands on a gray paved driveway with its tail fully fanned and its dark, glossy feathers puffed out in a strutting display. Its head is bright blue and red, and a tall green hedge and a wooden gate fill the background.

This beast joined us on our walk tonight.

The turkeys don't usually get agitated by our presence, but this guy definitely wanted us to know he is B.I.G.
