‘Another skill is getting the reader to keep on reading even after he is bored. I guess it’s, “Well, I’ve put in so much effort slogging through this, surely the pony is just a paragraph away.”’

Good point.

) Have it with a woman they met at random in a hardware store; B.) Fall for a refusal of a paternity test. That kind of thing can be court ordered, and I actually had a friend in high school do just that after his girlfriend had sex with three men in one day throughout a weekend-long party. It wasn’t his.

That’s a Jerry Springer show right there.

Thank goodness I’m an anti-social hermit.


I have found you can’t have one without the other. ;)

“Yet there were moments when he still sought ways to justify, or at least make sense of, Shuman and Haider’s campaign against him, searching in earnest for evidence of genuine affection amid the years of deceit.”

Fools never, ever learn.

The guy may be a leftist dumbass, but if he is heterosexual and not married, is it any surprise TO ANYONE WITH A BRAIN that an attractive woman can come on to him, set him up and take advantage of him?

Why is this news? It isn’t as if the guy is working with sensitive classified material in a government function. He is just a dumbass Harvard Law Professor.

I am shocked...SHOCKED, I tell you, that this older guy fell for it when an attractive woman came on to him.

Why is this even newsworthy to someone?

Sheesh. My feelings exactly. Oh, but he is a PROFESSOR...and not just ANY professor, a HAAAARVARD Law Professor! One who teaches a class on JUDGMENT of all things!

Good Gosh. Reading what I just wrote makes the guy seem like a loser even without him compromising himself. He probably believes his own text clippings.

An event like that at my stage of life would instantly reduce my IQ, judgement and willpower down to that of a frog.😎

He most certainly could benefit from intensive psychotherapy with those ego /self esteem issues of his-and his wife/ex-wife has more patience and tolerance than I would-the minute I found out what was going on-and that a mistress was making threats-I’d have protected my kids and told him to leave and either make it stop or stay with the other woman-his choice, but keep that crazy woman away from their kids-I’d also probably have called the cops to report a stalker and gotten a restraining order...

I had a tenant at one of my buildings who was the money management expert weekly column writer at the local paper. I had to evict him for not paying his rent. Just like this guy....full of crap.

Any woman worth her salt knows this about most men, and most men who want to maintain their dignity, know this about themselves too and take it into account.

And even those who know it fail to take it into account.

Ever see “The Incredibles”?

EDNA MODE: “Men at Robert’s age are often unstable... prone to weakness.”

A cartoon, mind you...

That is probably because the part of his anatomy that was in control ignores such warnings-and it sounds like the woman was very skilled at manipulating men using sex-a real con artist-it was not her 1st rodeo, either...

What Buckley noted a few decades ago applies today more than ever...

“I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the telephone directory than by the Harvard University faculty,”

It is no secret that men can be easily manipulated. Intelligence agencies have known and exploited this for centuries.

Too long. Do you have an Executive Summary?

Two man-hating lesbians scam a gullible university professor in the same manner that they have scammed four other people.

One of the con artists was a man “transitioning to a woman.” Still a man.
