Ugh. He is like a much handsomer version of my ex-husband, and I have super mixed-emotions about him. I do think he’s very attractive, but at the same time, my ex was obsessed with Don Draper and was an unrepentant alcoholic dick as well, so.... Yeah. I’d like him to go away now.

Meh, I expect it’s regional. In the deep south where I've always lived it’s Mr. First Name or Miss (not Mrs) First Name, except for teachers, principals, and doctors. You do you.

Ding ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Oh, come on, you're not giving her the credit she deserves. She made it on her own, so that she could defend her own spot on the oligarchical bench from all those other grasping women.

I came here to say this exactly. I grew up in S. Florida, and the Cuban community down there is super-conservative, however other non-Cuban latin communities I’ve lived near in other parts of the country have generally had a much more liberal bent because of immigration, labor, health care, wage law, etc., and in the…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Holy crap, WHEN WILL THE PALINS GO AWAY ALREADY? Even if I might have been willing to cut John McCain some slack for not having his head completely up his own ass, there is no forgiveness possible for bringing this pack of tundra-sniffing hillbillies into the national spotlight. Ugh.

Plus, I don't drink coffee, so no worries for me about meth flavored coffee!

I don't know about Vallejo, but in New Orleans, a finding against the city brings you a big fat IOU, and there's literally no way to collect. The city owes so much money to the firemen's union that one judge was talking about putting the mayor under house arrest for the debt.

Presumably, the church's bottom line is that if a woman can't breed any more she's just a useless eater anyway so they might as well let her die? Brilliant. Pro life indeed.

Yeah, it's a thing in New Orleans still, although I've recently seen guys sagging skinny jeans, which is just beyond wrong. I did see a guy working on his car once with no boxers on under his saggy jeans. That was also wrong. Also, the guys who wear two pairs of layered boxers with contrasting colors/patterns visible.…

Came here to say that. Since when does god wear pants? Why would he care?

Ha. I used to work with Clarence Thomas' brother, who was an amazing guy. We worked in low-income housing, and he was always the first one to volunteer for anything we needed volunteers for (clean ups, meals, training events, whatever). He died in his 40's while he was out jogging, leaving a young family behind. God…

I was once eating at a very chic café with the latest superstar local chef at the helm, when I received a bowl of fresh raspberries and crème with an extra special ingredient in the form of a live worm/caterpillar taking a peek out of one of the raspberries. I cracked up and asked the waitress if I could perhaps have…

Scruffy 62nd Avenue. I can't play this game.

A tip is short for "rubbish tip", or what us Yanks would call a garbage dump.

Ya’ll need to check out colonial and Victorian Louisiana, it was the place to be a lady of means. It also had one of the highest women's literacy rates for women of all socioeconomic levels in the New World, thanks to those feisty Ursulines and their dedication to educating any girl that turned up on their doorstep.

OMG, I just posted about this upthread. That was the most enraging part of the experiment! Although I really enjoyed the show up until that point, I honestly couldn't watch it after that. Dipshit.

Her use of the word "segregation" was particularly cringe inducing. Jeez lady.

Does she ever explain how she posts her blogs in her device-free home? I honestly couldn't finish her article because I was feeling stabby (and I'm a historian with an undue fondness for the period).
