Right on time, a big, steaming pile of birther pooh stuck to my shoe to kick start Melancholy Monday.

A world without Derek Jeter is no world I want to live in.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone. A woman likes sports? I've never heard of such a thing. Boy, that January Jones sure isn't like the other girls.

I grew up in Indiana, and left 15 years ago. The state has always leaned right, and has always found minority groups to demonize. For example, google the Klan throughout the state's history. In my opinion, the state has paid for this. Despite having Indiana University, Purdue University and Notre Dame to pull…

Where I grew up in the Midwest, the dialogue goes something like this:

Which is why my long-term plans involve getting out of the U.S. if the GOP wins in their quest to privatize everything from education to healthcare.

Also, if you keep the cycle of poverty in place, you have a pool of cheap labor with no political power. The GOP today is made up of people who want to go back to the Gilded Age and Robber Barons before personal income taxes were imposed. Pictures from How the Other Half Lives show lots of kids living in poverty…

I like this. My uterus will now be eligible for tax breaks, bailouts, and the subsequent bonus.

This is hilariously awesome.

I could deal with labs not winning. I could deal with Golden Retrievers losing out to Corgis. However, I cannot for the life of me come to terms with mutts losing. It is just so wrong on every level. I mean a mutt like Ban the Tsunami dog persevered on a roof in the ocean for 3 weeks yet loses to the little dogs? …

Didn't we see this with Melanie Griffith's character in Working Girl? Heavy make-up and big hair = secretary from Staten Island; subtle but well groomed = sophisticated boss.

However, there is nothing in the news segment that states the girl's peers made fun of her. For all we know, they thought it was awesome. The only thing we do know is that an adult in authority made fun of her.

The teacher's caption state "right, this is for picture day." She set the tone for the snark of her 7yr old student.

Maybe because they are teachers, adults in position of authority, and kids are not. Are you seriously expecting a child to have the same accountability as an adult?

Way to make friends and influence people. I'm sure you totally won her over to your side.

He's so fuzzy!

Your kittens have made my day.

Yikes, as a 40 something woman living in NYC, I didn't realize I've fallen off the continental shelf. Surely, I'd have noticed as it sounds like it would leave me bruised. Regardless, you make me sound like sad sack, poor, spinster Miss Bates in Emma whiling away my time in my apartment with my deaf mother who can't…

I can't understand for the life of me why people insist on using Botox. My significant other's brother and sister-in-law have been using it for awhile now. Their faces are just off.

Well, excuse you Madame! With the exception of the caffine in my morning coffee, the nicotine in the cigarettes and cigars I smoked, the alcohol in my pinot noir, the pain killers for my root canal, I have NEVER and NEVER will do drugs.
