“I also once saw Johnny Depp at a music festival. He was dressed like a collapsing teepee.”

This comment would very literally doxx me to a select group of people but I can’t help it. Bret Michaels is suuuuuch a toooool.

I have conures and I have been loving these the last couple weeks! Your black-capped (I think?) is adorable. <3

Here’s a question I’ve never been able to get a straight answer for: if you’re already in the top tax bracket on earnings, and expect to live on significantly less cashflow (lower tax bracket) in retirement, DO you actually want a Roth? Or do you want to sock away as much as you can now in a traditional pre-tax…

Coop’s jambalaya (the ‘fancy’ one with the tasso) or GTFO!

To be clear: I am one of those people with a certain clearance, and I understand in painful detail how the process works. (Although I am not in the executive branch — so although I assumed that the President is told basically “everything” with or without a clearance, I could certainly be wrong about that.) 

I don’t even see why it matters. Does anyone seriously think that this White House would NOT tell him something, just because he isn’t cleared to hear it?

SF broadcast said first time a pitcher hit two *on opening day* but did not specify “ever.” I’m sure someone will confirm before long.

Naw, they’ve been playing the Comstock spot all week on Caps games. I saw one last night, and at least once before that (so Tuesday, or even last Saturday).

The Comstock one has been since at least Tuesday, during Caps games. (I saw it on last night’s broadcast, but I’d also seen it at least once previously — during Tuesday’s game, or maybe even last Saturday vs. the Lightning.)

That’s the sumac everyone’s talking about. :)

She was a rockstar! I had to wait in line to get the photo. :D

I believe I read about it will be visible for around 6 months somewhere, a few days ago - of course now I can’t remember where. But it should be long enough that “bad weather” and such shouldn’t be an obstacle.

Exactly. Climate change “tempting to ignore?” I don’t think so! This is my biggest fear because it’s the one thing that we can’t just undo 4 years from now. (The Supreme Court is a close second.) We’re at a serious tipping point. 4 years of no Paris and no EPA and Keystone and more drilling and fracking, and just…

The silver lining on the Indians’ collapse is that they now have even less reason to hang onto the racist logo. A victory may have convinced the team to hang onto the logo and the “tradition” it represents until the end of time, but they blew a 3-1 lead in the World Series—their third championship loss since 1995, and…

Be sure to hit the all-you-can-eat NYE champagne and lobster buffet at the Bellagio! ($75 or so)

I was stunned to see Thomas write anything, much less split with Scalia. But I can’t help but think he (Thomas) is laying groundwork for the conservative wing’s writing (we can only hope it’s the dissent) in the upcoming Marriage Equality case. Per Slate:
