In the movie “For The Boys” Bette’s character is at a firebase in VN with the USO.
A gopher asks her if she wants coffee. She says:
“Nahh. That stuff gives me the runs.”
OK, we’re even.

Since we’re still reeling, how about posting that picture of Barbara Streisand, with her dugs under her arms like water-wings .........
That’s catnip to Laz!

Apparently they are a 501(c)(3) organization.
If they’re gonna politic, they need to be a 501(c)(4). Tax deductible contributions can’t be made, but you can be as political as you want.

Hey—she’s a democrat and used to getting away with lying, cheating, stealing and going for the sympathy vote. She knows nothin’ will happen and no one will be held responsible—it’s the democratic way of doing things.
