Congratulations on your book. Just published! Book tour?

Sure. The two things are not unrelated, no matter how many times people try to tease them apart into separate phenomena. "Socially conservative" policies that aim to punish people for being gay are cut from the same cloth as "fiscally conservative" policies that help perpetuate economic inequality and encourage the…

Yeah...doctor conferences are usually a form of continuing education, not patting themselves on their backs for trying to run the whole country. Invalid.

Lisa's statement necklace game is STRONG AS HELL.

I agree. It's complete bullshit. I just wanted to point out that the issue here isn't that there aren't any tests for viability. The issue is that the best test for viability is gestational age, which they are ignoring, and that they didn't specify anything else, and that it's all insulting anyway because none of them…

I voted for liberal candidates too. I'm in Marcy Kaptur's district, and she does her damnedest for her constituents and is a badass lady. Voted for Sherrod Brown too. Both of them have actually helped me personally in dealing with insurance company bullshit, as did former governor Ted Strickland. (Goodness, I miss…

The group had been eating and drinking together earlier in the day, then decided to take the bus out "to…

Yeah, and if this guy gets slock-ed to death in prison I'm going to blame him because you can't clap with one hand and a decent boy wouldn't be in prison in the first place.

Nah, he just killed millions for absolutely no reason.

I'm so sorry. What a lovely story. Excuse me, there is something in my eye.

...then this probably isn't the comments section for you

I actually knew my wife for about 2 years before we started dating. If someone had told me we would end up together I would have laughed in their face. "Made of malice" was the term I used to describe her back then. She had a reputation for being sort of surly and stand-offish.

That "Circle the block and call the bar" move is tight.
