“Guest-starring Anthony Higgins as Abdullah.” I...

There was America’s Funniest Home Videos in the 80's. Before that, I don’t know.

My town is going crazy and I just refinanced my HELOC, so when when houses got sold within a block of me, not only did I snoop daily, I discussed it with my next door neighbors. I am shameless.

I had a similar thought, but less articulate.

Jesus, those things across the street. Holy shit.

The jury of Minnesota taxpayers let Yanez off. I wish they felt more of a tax bite on this settlement.

Yeah, that showed a lack of imagination on the part of the writers, imo.

In the past they were mean because they really, really WANTED something (the presidency, mostly). I think that’s it. And there was a bit of shame. This time the wanting and the meanness don’t seem to be connected to each other.

I saw it. Several times actually! Yes, that was a good one.

To go off on a tangent: I’m actually really frustrated with Veep this season.

I’m going to be preaching a sermon this summer about how the concept of equality is misused in this way to reinforce institutional power structures.

Thank you, hachi. I’m sorry he interrupted your conversation. He does tend to wander off.

I am very happy that first two comments on this article talk about the need for adequate medical support and are actively not victim blaming.

CunningFolk was insisting that nobody had asked for specifics that required links, when in fact they had.

You were asked for proof that Hillary came out of the woodwork to support Trump’s bombing of Syria and to say that she would have gone further.

Hah! I got to read that my sophomore year. I went to an intensely academic girls’ school though.

Bosses who don’t have to answer to bosses of their own (and even plenty who do have biases) can become shitty, petty tyrants with control issues, and also can make mistakes and be inconsistent in the behavior they demand from the employee vs the kind of work they say they want the employee to produce.
