    Does Mike Johnson use blush to make his cheeks rosier? Why does he always look like an old ventriloquist’s dummy or a little dough boy or something? I can’t quite put my finger on it.

      Dude probably whips himself every night to atone for sins, so I wouldn’t be surprised by anything weird he does.

      He’s just really, really horny because he has to work in a situation that has hum surrounded by old white men. And that’s perfectly fine, he should embrace it, no matter what his imaginary friend says.

    I wanted to comment on the title of the article and the fact that it is gramatically incorrect. Why didn’t they use the word “invites”? The article uses the word in the first sentence. It’s hard for me to enjoy journalism when it’s filled with distracting mistakes like this. When your profession is writing why are these kind of mistakes allowed. If I made mistakes analogous to this in my career I would not be keeping my job very long.

        I’ll give you the second exception but I’ve never seen the first one used. However, you are missing the fact that in both of your examples you can use the subject as an action. To lunch is to eat lunch and to prom is the shorted version of promenade. White House is a proper noun and cannot be used the same way as your two examples.
