    Barefoot, pregnant and in-the-kitchen alive and well in Wall Street Journal

    Recommending Dr Jill Biden should drop her honorific "Dr" and instead bathe in the reflected glory of her husband's achievement.

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-ther...-d-11607727380

    The WSJ then wrote in defense of the article, even going so far as to compare the push-back as being of "Trumpian proportions". Hah! Where have they been for the last four years???

    More likely a doctor of medicine and full time carers, than a doctor of divinity

    Fuck that. The only honorific that matters is "comrade"

    Right, comrades?

    Also - I cant remember who it was and am too lazy to google, there's a Labour party cabbo minster currently who is a Dr and it turns out has a PhD in history. Megan Woods or Clark maybe? anyway - outside academia all it does is confuse the punters who want you to look at their rashes and whatnot. Except for maybe Dr Taglioni who was a Doctor of Engineering.... which is kinda cool.

    Having said that I think Alan Reay had/has similar qualification and killed all those people, so there's that.

    Jonathon Coleman is a proper doctor.... No longer an MP - got sick of all the back-stabbing, I guess....

    There's a copy of a court transcript on Twitter.
    "Do you prefer to be addressed as Mrs or Ms?"
    "Doctor."

    And there is this from the European parliament for a spectacular foot shot by one party, and 20/20 foresight by the other.

    There was Dr Lockwood Smith who has a PhD in animal science. That would have been handy in Parliament.
    He may not use the Dr so much these days, Dr Sir Alexander Lockwood Smith is a bit of a mouthful.

    Yes, Megan Woods has a PhD [Cant] in history, is she your MP by any chance?

    David Clarke has a PhD [Otago] - German/New Zealand refugee and existentialist thinker Helmut Herbert Hermann Rex.

    Confuse the punters... many of them are confused by "Keep Left" and "STOP" and other basic instructions...

    No - not now. The gerrymandering* boundary changes mean that I am in Banks Peninsula electorate now. Tracy McLellan is my electorate MP


    *and the cunt in charge was, you guessed it..... Gerry

    Gerry's problem is when he was the Minister for the Christchurch rebuild he had allusions of grandeur as Georges-Eug่ne Haussmann.

    A doctorate is a doctorate, but saying that, I would rather an MD or at least a BVSc take out my appendix than a DMA.
    I was reading that before and having a chuckle about it, the interesting thing is the previous Presidents wife claimed to have a degree which they didn't which wasn't honorific or even earned through study it was plucked out of thin air.

    As recently as July, Melania Trump's personal site said she obtained a degree in design and architecture at an unspecified university in Slovenia, her country of birth.

    Melania claimed to speak five languages. Presumably Slovenian was one, I don't know what the others were but English wasn't one of them.

    With a minute of googling her tits are available for perusal. Generic skinny model tits but still. At least in those days she was trying to make an honest living.
