No. This woman is enormously popular in right-wing circles, ignoring her doesn’t make her go away. Noah held her feet to the fire and in doing so, I think he did a real public service. Megan’s take on it seems completely skewed through the cynical asshole prism that you guys live in (“batted it away like an…

Is it Good Wife? I haaaaaated Logan. But I loved Cary Agos. And this completely colored my rewatch. But I’m still staunchly #TeamJess, largely for the reasons articulated above.

You guys are really leaning into that whole smug and joyless thing, huh?

Exactly this. I keep hearing about shitty Cubs fans talking about Bartman, but I haven’t heard any Cubs fans talking about Bartman. Dusty Baker, on the other hand...

I don’t think it’s so much that he’s punishing them for not wanting anything to do with him. I think it’s more that he wants to make sure they know he’s still more powerful than them.

It was my Bible. And now I have my own 13 year old daughter who thinks she’s horrible to look at. I wish I could get her to read it. But if it’s not by Rick Riordan, child cannot be enticed. Sigh, I’m worried that Storm Reid is a little too lovely.

I still remember reading this line, ohmygod, 35 years ago:

I’m going to do a rare comment here and speak for the Shark. Costs a third of what a Dyson does and is tough as hell. I’ve had my Shark for 2 years and noticed no depreciable difference. I love it so much it makes me worry about what this passion says about me as a person.

I so very rarely comment over here, but, oh mylanta! These pics have killed me with the cuteness. I am dead. I have died.

20 years ago today, my then boyfriend (now husband) called me up and said “Wanna go to a Cub game? I’ve got good seats.” And I said “nah, Im already at work.” This is a lingering pain.

I’ve got one kid whom I adopted when she was 22 months. So I don’t know from the infant slog (which I understand to be really hard, so take my ignorance in that for what it’s worth). But I haven’t found being a parent to be that much of a slog. There are times when my daughter is an asshole, but there are times when…

I hated all her boyfriends, but especially Logan Huntzberger whom I loathed with the liquid white heat of 10,000 suns. Oddly, I love Cary Agos. I’m curious which Matt Czuchery will show up in the Netflix series.

Almost all of the female lyrics are about what other people will think or what she ought to do - she’s never talking about what she wants (and, clearly, she wants to bone the dude). The objections to this song always seem so anachronistic to me in that they totally disregard that it comes from a time when women…

I don’t know if this is super apropos or anything, but Friday evening when everything seemed so awful, I ended up taking my 12 yr old daughter to Gamestop to buy her a new DS game. Everything always takes a long time at this place, but while we were waiting the place was full of young people who were happy to talk…

I can’t help but wonder if the Internet, which some days just feels like a giant receptacle for “you’re doing it wrong” stories, feeds into this malaise? I’m part of a white, middle-class, two parent, one kid household and it took me years to realize that the only response to the endless blogposts and internet…

You'd be able to get RU486 from the Vatican pharmacy.

Sikeston, MO, the home of Lamberts, is right where I-57 ends and you pick up I-55. In other words, if you’re driving from Chicago to Memphis (cuz, I dunno, your folks are in Memphis but you live in Chicago and so you made that drive for over 20 years until your dad died and your mom moved to Florida), Lambert’s is a…

He drives his car into the crowd and then jumps out with a gun instead of a knife. Now you do the math.

I tended bar in Chicago all through the 90s and cannot count the number of times Hawks fans got pissed because the TV was turned to the Bulls. It was irritating. And yet, Chicago is a great sports town and the Blackhawks have (and always have had) a whole fuckton of diehard fans. If there's a bandwagon, fuck it -…

There is nothing cuter in the world than toddler tummy. Toddler tummies have a 98% return of “awwwww” within 2 seconds of deployment. Toddler tummies are a force for good in the world and should be deployed whenever seasonally appropriate. When my daughter was three, she had a pink bikini over which her adorable…
