What are those thingies on the desk? Are those to, like, write with?

Rob বলেছেন...

I suppose that decor was considered somewhat stylish (in a fairly cheap way) back in the mid-sixties, but it seems like the last sort of thing that would appeal to Lady Bird Johnson. Go figure.

Humperdink বলেছেন...

Not a fan of couch pillows. As I sit down, I give them a toss. I think their only purpose is for taking a nap.

Lady Bird should have left her design choices to Brad Bird..

She had no social media... bless her heart...

That looks like a black and white TV. Probably didn't want to look too wealthy when the visitors from West Virginia came calling.

Freeman Hunt বলেছেন...

I don't know what I clicked on earlier, but I just got an ad for pontoon lifts (whatever they are) and another for an online program to become an auctioneer. Heh.

Freeman Hunt বলেছেন...

Followed by an ad for Design Within Reach. Who is this character they're advertising to?

Original Mike বলেছেন...

“A key issue for administrators was that the Outing Club frequently visit locations with poor cell phone coverage.”

“The Post-Gazette's Don Hopey reports that the administration is hoping to reform the Outing Club into some kind of movie-watching club:”

It must be hard for The Onion to keep up.

The red couch looks like it's smiling.

“San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt set a Major League Baseball record Sunday when he battled out a 21-pitch at-bat against Los Angeles Angels rookie right-hander Jaime Barria.

Belt fouled off 16 two-strike pitches before lining out to Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun. The at-bat lasted 12 minutes and 45 seconds. It was the most pitches in an at-bat since records began in 1988.”

David A. Carlson বলেছেন...

you all are crazy. That office rocks. Modern was the last time anyone did anything original with furniture and decor. Everything since then is derivative and just flat out ugly

Airplane turbulence

I used to slow down for turbulence to soften it out but I think the stall speed is so close to cruise speed at great heights that that's not an option.

Her desk chair has casters on the feet. The visitor chair does not.

The TV is a color Sony Trinitron.

She was the power behind LBJ.The office was a stage for doing business.

Scott বলেছেন...

Thinking about the office chairs: That type is impossible to slide without casters. When you sat in her visitor chair, you stayed put. Intimidating as hell.

Birkel বলেছেন...

Candace Owens advises taking the Red Couch.

DavidD বলেছেন...

Why are there papers on the floor?

JZ বলেছেন...

I thought the TV was a microwave oven.

Molly বলেছেন...

Kanye West's recent tweet: "Self-victimization is a disease".

Original Mike:

"As a current member of the PSU community, I believe that this is really a move for Penn State to push students towards their own Adventure Recreation office, which charges students money for trips that the clubs organized for free."

(from the comments.) So possibly another story of Higher Ed. rapacity and greed, being disguised as hypertrophied concern for the little snowflakes.

When you run out of space on your desk, you continue on the floor. I did this occasionally when I practiced law. Lots of people do this.

Anybody watching Homeland series? Carrie Mathison character based on Valarie Plame.
Character Saul based on Joe Wilson.

Seems Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS’s wife worked for the Rose Law Firm,

What a small world!

Ray - SoCal বলেছেন...

Hannity has a real estate empire owning over 1000 houses.

It just leaked by the guardian due to the Cohen raid.

One way to pierce the corporate llc veil!

Pro tip if doing asset protection - get a lawyer without major pro GOP clients...

Ray - SoCal বলেছেন...

I wonder if a FISA warrant was done against Romney’s campaign.

One of his donors did have an irs audit - what a coincidence. Fusion was also involved.

DavidD বলেছেন...

Lots of people have filing cabinets, too, Tank.

And so does (did) Mrs. LBJ.
