I didn't watch any of it, but I read in this morning's Times that Melania wore white and arrived in a separate car. Good for her!
The New York Times has a pretty interesting discussion regarding her apparent subtle slap at her husband's latest wallow in the mud:
I'm unable to make such conclusions based on wardrobe. For me it's for work or not. OTOH, I'm rarely noticed because of my clothes
Trey Gowdy is leaving Congress:
The replies were pretty interesting, many funny too. My favorite

This is the best retirement yet. Now, if Nunes would just go,too. Oh wait, he may go… where Davie said. .![devil devil](https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.7.3/full-all/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png)
They need a wider gangplank for all the nasty little rats scurrying off the Ship O' State. Or maybe he'll just take a cannonball jump, shrieking,

The only thing she omitted from her statement….
"He didn't commit blackmail either."
The “value of nothing” is nothing, Oscar . . .
( . . . except maybe as a place holder in mathematics, when represented by a “0”, which can be quite valuable, but otherwise, mostly nothing . . .)
The primary definition of "nothing" is "no thing," which is the sense in which Wilde used it. Similarly,he meant "every thing," which is the primary definition of "everything." So a cynic knows the price of every thing, but not necessarily the aggregate price of all things, and there is not a thing that a cynic knows the value of, although he may know that a non-existent thing does not have any value. Or, what Wilde said.
