Mary’s story is a bit creepier than the typical sort of keepsake, my gf just shared it with me. Percy’s heart was calcified because of a bout with tuberculosis, and thus did not burn when they had him on the pyre. His friend took it from the ashes, but later gave it to Mary. She kept it and took it almost everywhere…

I’m only bugged because so many of the errors involved the woman’s name. I know autocorrect or a really touchy spellcheck can be a bitch, but an author owes some care and attention to detail to the person they’re writing about, ESPECIALLY when it’s a woman giving painful testimony like this.

Trump was a tabula rasa candidate who ran against 16 more or less legacy Republicans in during a campaign centered on an electorate angry at the establishment. Paul Ryan, if he ran would have no way to distance himself from the last 22 years of the Republican track record, and no credible record of resisting Trump as…

This is the same guy that ended up spending large chunks of his VP run at events with his boss because neither of them had the personality to fill venues by themselves. He’s not some juggernaut candidate in waiting. That myth got busted in ‘12

Jail will sober him up right quick, after this little stunt.

You’re not wrong, Project Red Map was specifically designed to bankroll the normal Republican majority in 2000 into a 20-30 year majority through gerrymandering and state level control.

Barack Obama and Eric Holder have made it their post-presidency goal to try and counter that partisan swing in 10 years, not 20+ and…

They complain about the VA because they can’t admit the problems stem from the fact they started two wars at the same time Vietnam vets were becoming senior citizens, and they didn’t want to increase the VA budget. Couple that with not wanting to pay for upgrading the VA data systems along with the Pentagon’s.

Consider it more getting back to basics, because they’ve done it off and on for years.

Last night on a talking head show, I heard someone say that after Trump would be like after Watergate, a whole new raft of laws on corruption in government and campaign finance to correct these loopholes they’ve taken advantage of.

I laughcried for minutes.

Unless something actually bad happens (not just nearly avoiding…

I want to point out that for many of these teachers, the (needed) pay raises are important to them, but almost secondary to the funding increases for the schools themselves.

The conditions in many of these schools has a toe on the far side of unsuitable for habitation, with mold in the air and on many surfaces, damage…

Wait, are we talking about the sex cult or the White House? Because that could be either one.

I don’t know if you meant it that way, but your comment kind of sounds snobby. TMBG started doing kids albums because they had kids. And I don’t know if you’ve listened to any of them, but they put the same level of effort into them as any of their adult stuff.

It’s the same reason a lot of big name actors sign on to…

Absolutely. I’m sure people told him decades ago he looked like a potato head. He’s had plenty of time to find some way to change that, but instead he just embraced the pastiness.

Do you think he’ll give them his canned response?

I think the thing we should focus on (since it’s most likely to infuriate Drumpf) is that it clearly isn’t Go Time for him unless you make him think of Ivanka.

When I was a kid, you could count the number of computers in the entire school on two hands. Until high school, and then a friend and I figured out how to play Mac Trek and Robosport over the printer network. We did it after school though.

What if she broke up with him? Isn’t that possible?

Even the warzone mentality is bullshit because most of the time rules of engagement constrain soldiers so they’re not allowed to fire unless fired upon.

I started the first episode because of Matt Smith, I kept watching because of Claire Foy. If not for her, I would have stopped because Smith is infuriating (or maybe Phillip is infuriating and Smith is really good, but I’m still left infuriated).

Sorry, I was an RIT slob. :)
