I am similarly trying to fathom a level of publicity that’s *too much* for Taylor Swift.

Aw congratulations! Mr. Dog and I have been together for 22 years, married for 15.

I hope they enjoyed three months of simply excellent sex.

I use variations of Ina Garten’s recipe (minus the Italian seasonings, depending on how I plan to use the meatballs). She uses eggs and a bit of water to keep the meatballs moist. Also, no turkey! Too dry. I use 90% lean beef; my mix is 2/3 beef and 1/3 ground pork. I make meatballs the size of a golf ball, I bake in…

My 85 year old mother (who has vascular dementia), commenting on Phyllis Schafly’s death this evening:

That’s a great idea. I do something similar, but make basic meatballs without sauce, bake, then freeze. We put in soup, spaghetti, sandwiches.

You don’t have kids, do you?

Maybe we shouldn’t have let the GOP-controlled Congress dismantle every legislative scientific advisory committee in existence over the last two decades, eh...?

“Why aren’t they air-gapped? Why are these voting machines even connected to the internet in the first place...?”

Wait, Matlock is still on?

Wait, he doesn't live under a rock?

I'd buy that car!

If Elon Musk accidentally ran over Johnny Depp in a Tesla, I wouldn't cry.

She’s 24? Jesus, I remember when she was born.

You’re not the only person who doesn’t get hot for Lochte. I just think he exudes ‘asshole’ and that was before he peed all over a Brazilian gas station.

I don’t eat breakfast cereal much but if I see her on a box of Wheaties, they're going in my cart along with some milk.

A few years ago, my sister had a nice chat with Rachel Maddow while on a hike in the East Bay (SFO). For which I was, I am, and I will forever be jealous.

Goats are so freaking adorable. Every year for Christmas Mr. Dog gives me the ‘Goats in Trees’ calendar so I have pictures of happy climbing goats to cheer up my office.

I’m nowhere near as cute as that goat but could they serenade me? It's been a long day and that would be so very nice.
