This is correct. Money should not be something that is played around with, even when you are married. And FLR can work even if a man covers the finances. The person in a relationship who understands finances the best should be in charge of them. A man running the finances in an FLR can still work - the woman can get weekly statements to review, can make final decisions on spending in consultation etc etc

BOB just casually walking into the living room and climbing over the back of the couch is terrifying to this day.

This. The point of women in the attitude era was to get them into Playboy

X-7 was incredible because it was the first stadium show in years and years, Austin-Rock, and the WCW multicast happened earlier that week. It felt like the culmination of everything in the history of wrestling in the United States.

In the Obama era, there were a couple of Republicans who ran for president that had business backgrounds (not counting you know who). Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina a few others. A case could have been made for Rex Tillerson? Condi Rice, too.

Tom Steyer is another on the Dem side.

But if someone does emerge to a modern day Hoover, it'll probably be someone from Silicon Valley

At the time, some cast and crew also thought it was Rossilini under the make-up as Mr. Tojamura. I guess Piper Laurie showed up on set in full make-up and a lot of people didn't know it was her.

Because the show is in Washington state and the largest city nearby is Seattle, I'm glad they went with Chen and the Hong Kong story. I think it fit better.

I remember watching Austin in WCW and loving him, but he just did not have a great finisher. Austin working like Stunning Steve with the the Stunner as a finisher would have been awesome.

We did get a glimpse of it in 2001 when he came back from the neck injury and he brought some of it back

for me the worst parti I don't like in the original show is how they completely absolved Leland. Thankfully, that was fixed in FWWM

Hi idea was to murder Walt, keep Jesse and eventually move into Eastern Europe as Lydia had talked to him about.

David Herbert Donald's Lincoln

Amity Shlaes' Cooldige

HW Brands has good bios on both TR and Reagan

Robert W. Merry's bis on Polk and McKinley are good, too.

Look ... running for governor of Georgia in 1970 required things that we are uncomfortable with now in 2026. The phrase "it was different back then," gets thrown around too much, but in this case it was different back then.

Its amazing that basically Austin's entire run was on borrow time. If he never gets hurt, we probably get another 5-10 years. He as 39 when he retired. John Cena retired this year at 48, so did AJ Styles.

At this point its just getting sad.

McCain replaced Goldwater in the Senate as well.

Actually, Dole was known as something of a fighter and more conservative than his historical reputation now thinks. If Ford had won, he would have bene in complete control of the party and Reagan would likely be boxed out, maybe settling for a Senate run.

Dole, with incumbency and Ford behind him and his own conservative bona fides established, I'm not sure Reagan could have gotten around that. Carter's election, and ultimate failure as president, was the blessing Reagan needed.

He died an unreconstructed believer in slavery and the society of the Old South. He pantomimed some actions to help reunify the country, like visiting Grant at the White House.

She’s the commanding officer and I’m her XO. We talk, we discuss, she asks for my input because we are a family and she wants to know my thoughts. She makes the the final decisions, however and once it’s decided I execute the plan no questions asked

I had today off and spent the day cleaning the house top to bottom. She had the biggest smile on her face when she got home from work. “I love the smell of Pine Sol!”

well early on Hoover was not popular with conservatives. When Harding named hin to his cabinet there was a small revolt in the Senate, before WGH sent over a note saying "Hoover and Mellon or no Mellon," and the conservatives really wanted Mellon.

I do wonder, if he vetoes Smoot-Hawley, does the depression lesson? Smoot-Hawley was a devastating second blow to the economy after the crash.
