• CNN calls BS on Trump's latest abortion lies

    Donald Trump started Monday by staking his official incoherent position on abortion in a too-many-minutes-long speech packed with lies. Like ending Roe v.

    To the editor: Buried more than 20 paragraphs into your article on the presidential candidates' instances of dishonesty and mistakes, there is a statement by Joe Biden that is propped up as a lie that justifies this comparison to Donald Trump. President Biden's "lie"? That he visited ground zero in New York the day after 9/11, when he actually went nine days later.

    “A lot of times in criminal law, you play for the fumble,” says William J.

    Bagels are under siege, and if you need proof, I offer a single word: Airy. Bagels, which have always been synonymous with chewy, have recently been described — approvingly — as airy on both coasts and in Canada. Also, fluffy.
