Like TPM’s Duke Of Dukes: The QuarterfinalsDecember 17, 2020 at 7:10 PM The last round of matches was a bloodbath. Perhaps, most notably, the expected champ of the “Sorry For (Tea) Partying” region, Rob Ford, was absolutely demolished by an underdog, Dinesh D’Souza. Our tight Tristate Area match-up between Anthony Weiner and Chris Christie saw Weiner squeak through. And another tight match between the armed Dick Cheney and Jack Abramoff saw Abramoff, a legend, gunned down by the former VP.

While we’ve asked you, the readers, to help us decide who the worst of the worst are in this year’s TPM Duke of Dukes contest, we figured you could use a bit of persuasion one way or the other — a reminder as to why these scandal-plagued political figures’ buffoonery is worth celebrating.

Mark Sanford’s romantic adventures were deemed by readers to be no match for Dick Cheney shooting his buddy in the face — and then forcing said buddy to apologize for Cheney having shot him in the face.
And so, the people have spoken: Dinesh and Dick advance to the Round of 16.

LondonNovember 8, 2020 at 4:59 PM The basic recipe is good, but, like many pumpkin recipes, we thought it needed less sugar and and way more spices (our spices are not that old either.)

There's a book on overdrive that is read-online only. I actually own the hard copy and want to read it on my kobo. However, you can't download the epub to digital editions, only read it online, or 'save to read offline'.
When you save to read offline, it creates a folder on your phone called Files>Documents>Responses, and what I assume is the epub broken into parts.
