I read an article yesterday about cross-gender casting (specifically regarding the Spicer sketch, but it gave a nice little rundown of how men-dressed-as-women is a go-to for yuks), which rightly pointed out that there’s an extra bite to the rabid press monkey being portrayed by a woman. I love it. I wallow in how…
I hope you’ve got comfortable protesting shoes! Give him hell.
A truly noble motive on Netflix’s part. I will choose to believe it.
Sooooo loooooooong. I need this in my life now. I needs it.
Last time I got a staffer in Scott’s Columbia office, I made him take down my address and pressed the point that I am a constituent, and I didn’t appreciate Scott brushing aside the opinions of South Carolinians by pretending we aren’t speaking out. I also demanded a town hall. We’ll pin him down yet!
It’s not just Toomey! It’s gotten really difficult to get through to our senators from SC, too. Tim Scott, in particular, has a suspiciously always-full voicemail. When I do get through, the staffers are unfailingly pleasant, which speaks a lot for them, becuase I know all these calls are frazzling them. But we have…
All day long, if he keeps up a steady stream of those rational takedowns. I feel like the fusion of intellect and sex is something I really need in these dark times.
That was my experience, as well. Girls mopped the floor with boys in my high school class (‘97, small town SC). The AP Chemistry and Calculus classes were an even gender split, but there was only one boy in AP Literature. Two boys in our class’s top 10. Female valedictorian and salutitorians. I attended a women’s…
Hell, when I was a teenager in the mid-90's girls in my Mormon upbringing were still sent away. A lady in our congregation hosted a pregnant teen girl from elsewhere. After the baby was born and adopted out, the girl poofed away, “extended vacation” over.
Look, say what you will, but the devil is one urbane mofo. Literary, philosophical, and has a sharp sense of style. I say Betsy DeVos is worse than the devil.
Boots is the only McMaster to whom I would give the time of day.
You’re right, it isn’t casual.
Congrats on the impending arrival! I’m sure there will be plenty for you to do when you’re back on your (literal) feet. Besides the baby, I mean, although there will be plenty of baby for you to do, too.
Oh, girl, I’m still here! I was at the State House last weekend. I’ve got shit-stirring to do. :D
Yep. When Trump offered her anything, Nikki should have run away as fast as she could. Now she’s got her big-girl job for which she is unqualified, the GOP trying to eliminate said job, and we’re stuck with Casual Racism Ken as our governor.
Thank you for bringing attention to this, Ellie! As a South Carolinian, it’s maddening to see the near-universal shrug and “Eh” this matter is receiving.
That was North Carolina. Neither Carolina has a sterling record in racial issues.
Is this Tina Belcher friend fiction? Is that what this is?
My family uses Whatsapp for our group text, but we do have several sub-groups: all the siblings, just the sisters, and just the liberal siblings. It sometimes gets hairy when I have that “oh shit!” moment after hitting send on a meme, worrying I included my conservative sister by mistake instead of just my heathen…
