“Thomas Homan”? Are we sure he isn’t a face-eating alien? That name sounds an awful lot like alien attempts at totally normal human-person identifiers like “Hugh Mann” or “Ford Prefect”.

And in jurisdictions with mandatory minimum sentences - “as a deterrent,” they love to tout - those minimums get doubled for public officials and police. Also as a deterrent.

That’s pretty true to the historical Spartans, though. Gay as can be, but would do their duty and bear children for the state before going back to the ol’ barracks.

Maaaaaybe include a link to the store page next time?

Jesus, it’s nice to know that I’m not the only freelancer in the “Don’t get sick. If you do, die quickly” camp. Two years ago, I was paying about $350/mo, and that was with a modest deductible *and* coverage for things like an annual eye exam, glasses, etc. A year later, that shot up to $525/mo and I’m getting absolute…

Absolutely not! /s

Geez, *my* 2013 Elantra has 34K miles on it. I bought it four years ago, used, when it had 22K. I clearly don’t drive much, so it fits my “cheap & reliable” needs just fine.

Ah, the classic “Look what you made me do” defense.

 The timing of the tweets lines up perfectly with what they were discussing on Fox News that morning. Even the word choice.

Election fraud, not voter fraud. E-LEC-TION. Crucial distinction. The voters are the victims, not the perpetrators.

All the “donations” I’ve read about were made using other people’s money.

Some writer recently commented that he was shocked to realize just how much our entire system is based on the honor system. I’d add And the naive assumption that people who run for office do so because they want to serve the public good.

Considering that it’s a felony to lie to congress - regardless of whether you’re under oath - you’d think that admitting to suborning perjury isn’t how you go about getting a lighter sentence.

They’re excellent fall-weather comfort food. They’ll warm you up and knock your ass out, Thanksgiving style. A chain here called MacAlister’s Deli sometimes has them on the menu.

Wow, that description of Blondie is up there with those videos of people describing the plots of movies that they haven’t seen.

I grew up on peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. No bananas a la Elvis, just a PB&B. I get weird looks when I mention them. Lightly toast two pieces of bread, apply your preferred peanut butter, crisscross two or three hot bacon strips across one side, close up, and nom. Mom says she made them because she thought we…

Funny how the photographer’s statement sounds an awful like he’s decrying the people who are calling him out for his racist bullshit, rather than apologizing for his racist bullshit.

What do you want to bet that every member of the school board — every last one — has demanded on their personal Twitter and Facebook accounts that student athletes who kneel during the national anthem be punished? Seems like something that internet sleuths should look into.

Wherefore = “why”, not “where”.

Ah, but how do you feel about the current trend of people writing words that end in -y, such as notably or incredibly, “notable” and “incredible”?
