I don’t know how George Conway has stayed married to his wife, Kellyanne, but I suspect now it’s because of his sense of humor - as demonstrated here (as first published in the Washington Post this morning):
He must get a well of material from listening to her, let alone married to her. Oh George…..that’s priceless. I’m referring to The Cookie Jar first chance I get.
“Some of the cookies you put in the jar, planted in my house and then took back from me are in fact my special, “privileged” cookies, and I herewith demand their IMMEDIATE return.”
Like the glittering shaft of summer sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees behind my house as I look up from the screen! What a treat! Thanks TC. Looking forward to your book next year (and Amazon just sent me a preorder for another of your books.) Keep up the good work. The post of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's letter was exceptional. I've always loved The Little Prince and also Wind, Sand, and Stars. (My aunt gave me a beautiful copy of TLP not long after it was published, probably right after the war.) What an exceptional human being he was---life, insight, prose, art, dedication, bravery. "Underneath the clouds is eternity"---like a Zen koan. Peace and Courage to All.
I read that this morning! Such a fitting analogy for the big orange toddler whining over a legal search warrant issued by a judge. After all he says “those are my cookies and I planned to sell the secret recipe”
Thank you for sharing this. George Conway nailed the chief COOKIE MONSTER. I applaud them both for refusing to go public about their political differences. I wonder if they have a solemn pact to never discuss politics at home.
Good to know that you are in such perfect control of this rotten language TC. I was thinking of a saying we had in my family when someone was making funny faces in the mirror: Be aware, if the wind is turning and the bell strikes twelve, you may become that way!
Facial muscles need exercise as much of the rest of our body. We have lots of different feelings; it's a relief to sometimes let our face express how we feel about Trump or, on the other hand. about Beyoncé, without being stuck with an immovable face. Any comment, Olof?
Indeed, we never stopped making faces in the mirror because of this. And I have an absolute trust that TC will not get stuck in this language even if he is able to make such a perfect mimic of it.
I have read Going Downtown, US Air Force SE Asia 1961-1975, and it was way off anywhere my fascination for aviation has taken me, and with the background of images from what happened on the ground in Vietnam. Our friends were the only western film team documenting from North Vietnam, and we were taking care of their daughter (5 years) while the parents were away. Still I see his point with the book, and I trust TC!
Olof, my comment about TC's use of language, sauced with play and condemnation, was one intended as humor and as a wink to TC.
In work and political activism, I did what I could to share the reasons to protest the USA's war against Vietnam. Your support of friends and their young daughter was deeply caring and contributed in its way to educating the public about the war.

Bahahahahahaha.

You'll like "Cactus Air Force," coming next month.
From Antoine de Saint-Exupéry to George Conway. Who else but TC! What a prince!

Excellent. Thanks to George Conway for this brilliant piece.
Love this typical trumpian stream of consciousness salad on cookies!!!!
As to George and Kellyanne-- better not to know the inner workings. Just hope their 16 yr old daughter is ok.

I also read it this morning. I love a good laugh to start the day! 😂😂
That is just fabulous satire. I have no idea how the Conways have stayed the Conways.
"Like" is insufficient, this was awesome. Thanks TC.
Ni-i-i-i-i-i-ice!
Reminds me a bit of John Lovitz’s lying character. “Yeah, THAT’S the ticket! Yeah.”

A jewel. Permission given to burst into guffaws whenever in the proximity of someone in thrall of the Cookie Monster.

I hope you're right about, TC, Olof. It seems so natural for him! Talent can look easier to do than it is. Still, I wonder about TC!

I read this last night & was amused. Makes me wonder if any cultists get it.
