Clarence Thomas and the Tuition Gambit
We all, of course, know what it’s like when a wealthy friend insists on having us join them on a private jet trip to an exotic locale. We also know what it’s like when the same friend hosts us on their yacht. Continue reading Clarence Thomas and the Tuition Gambit
And the Oscar goes to…
A Hollywood luminary of many highly esteemed and critically adored films enters the stage. The old guard rises from their seats and claps with reverence. The younger generation follows suit out of courtesy. They don’t recognize the person. Continue reading And the Oscar goes to…
