I'm up to 147 entries in the list I've been adding gems from GITs and others. When I get to 150, I have to expand the database.

The 'All' list has 56 entries.

America's list has 72 entries, but I've replicated some to make them come up more often.

The first word comes from a list of 84 entries. The middle word comes from a list of 423.

It is so easy to collect new material from you and others. So much wisdom.

The fact which the politician faces is merely that
there is less honor among thieves than was supposed,
and not the fact that they are thieves.
