I live in NY. My husband is a state employee. Cuomo would be stupid to run. I like him fine as a governor, but he would be a disastrous president and an even worse candidate. He is VERY uptight and a total control freak. He would get creamed in a town hall style debate.

If he has stopped taking money from the pharmaceutical industry, then he has gained back a LOT of points with me. I appreciate you sharing that with me. I WANT to like him. Really, I do.

No problem. You are clearly NOT a troll. For me it isn’t so much about being a centrist. I identify as center-left myself. I don’t think centrism is a dirty word. And I acknowledge that he represents a state that houses several pharmaceutical companies, which employ a significant number of his constituents. I…

No, that’s Robert Jr. Joe 3 is a congressman who has stood up for the ACA. Look him up. He will be 40 in 2020, I think.

You know, I get the sentiment. Really, I do. But I’d still take Al Franken over Cory “Big Pharma’s Bitch” Booker.

“Clinton leveraged her power to minimize her competition”

Yep. No one ever talks about that. But if she had done that to Bernie in 2016, it would be the scandal of the century.

My husband, in an effort to spoil me, bought me a VIP reception ticket to her NY book tour stop. Meeting her was a thrill that I cannot adequately put into words. It was a brief 10 second photo op. I got to shake her hand, tell her that she has been my hero for 25 years, and to thank her for everything (knowing full…

And she did the right thing and threw her support behind Obama. But I guess when a woman beats an angry white man by 4 million votes, she must be punished.

Back in my EMT days, my employer had the contract for EMS services with a local concert venue. Great way to pick up a few bucks. Anyway, I had the good fortune to work the night of the Tom Petty show.

I once sent my husband out for a punchbowl (after he had ASKED me what I needed from the store). We were having a small, informal “after party” after my daughter’s wedding dinner.

So my husband knows that anything that would cause me unnecessary and prolonged hunger is an existential threat to mankind. But if he EVER took leave of his senses and did something like this, I would order in a shitload of the most expensive, tastiest treats. dessert and high end wine included, I could find. I would…

Congrats on the new apartment!

“...I know that Arnold Schwartzenegger isn’t everyone’s favorite person...”

I never noticed that, but now that you mention it...

I need one of these in my life.

Mine is kind of like that. Doesn’t much care for other dogs. Until they are in the house, then she figures if we let them in they must be OK.

OMG! That FAAAACE!!! Cuteness overload.

Have you tried going right to the shelters? My husband and I both work, and we had no problem adopting our girl from the Manhattan ACC. They called us 2 weeks later to see how she was adjusting.

I missed last nights SNS, but we are big fans of rescue in my house. My husband and I have had four rescue dogs between us, including this little couch potato/diva/goofball.
