I’ve had to stop going to the dog park since one of my pups developed spinal problems, and I really miss it. We used to go almost every day, and I miss all our people and doggy friends!

One of my “favorite” WaPo moments was when Ed Rogers claimed that obviously Donald Trump had a good reason for not releasing his taxes, because if he didn’t, he would have released them. That’s just basic logic!

I feel exactly the same way. I have two dogs and I love them both very dearly, but one is the love of my life. I’ve had animals all my life, and I’ve never had a relationship that comes close to the one I have with him. I don’t know how I’ll bear it when I lose him.

That sentence was also missing the word “Republican.” Christians automatically abhor Democratic presidents, whether they have moral failings or not.

Worth noting that American Heritage includes the definition “A person who has not attained maturity or the age of legal majority,” and Merriam-Webster includes “a person not yet of age.”

It’s amazing to watch the narrative shift to whatever is most convenient at the moment. “It’s disgusting the way the left is pushing gun control instead of letting these poor people grieve. Oh, wait, they’re grieving in a way we don’t like? Fuck their grief and fuck them.”

IIRC, she suggested that boys are the only ones who eat baked goods, so she would have no reason to bake if she was hanging around with stupid, lowly girls. Which is also insane.

Someone on Jezebel — a regular, no less — once wrote a long and entirely serious comment explaining that she could only be friends with men because she was sarcastic, she liked horror movies, and she liked to bake, and women who share her specialized, hypermasculine interests just don’t exist!

The National Enquirer broke the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter affair. It’s definitely a trash tabloid, but it can have a pretty significant impact.

I think a lot of people pay attention mostly when they’re looking to confirm preconceived notions. Until a few years ago, I was pretty fat, and it was amazing how often people would not even attempt to hide the fact that they were cataloging everything I bought and judging me for it (ironically, these sorts of people…

Didn’t he sign the HBO deal before Stewart decided to leave?

It’s always confused me that so many people refer to this a breakup album, because just as you say, it’s about staying together, not breaking up. The Alpha Couple wouldn’t be a fraction as tragic — or vicious — if they could stop clawing each other down. They do finally split in the final song of the cycle (Alpha…

Businesswise, this seems like appropriate business.

I really love the “convict someone on Jezebel” bit. Yes, we absolutely have the power to legally punish people! Well spotted!

Also very much a cool girl thing.

One of my dogs taught himself to use the litter box and figured how to unscrew peanut butter jars, among other things. My other dog bites holes in sheets and then gets her head stuck.

It’s such a weird thing to feel superior about. But a surprisingly large number of people love to brag about their preference for large dogs whenever a small dog is mentioned in any context.

When I was about 5, I was very much enjoying a delicious stew until my mother told me it was made of rabbits. All I could think was that I was eating Thumper. I was traumatized!

I like bigger dogs too, but I’ve spent my adult life in apartments with pet weight limits. I’m lucky in that I found a big dog in a little dog’s body. He actually looks so much like a German Shepherd puppy that I’ve had Shepherd owners argue with me and insist he’s going to get bigger.

I’m sorry to play Debbie Downer, but I think it’s important that people know this stuff. Here’s some information on the direct connection between the AKC, the Westminster Dog Show and puppy mills (long story short — puppy mills are a huge source of revenue for the AKC, they have a storied history of turning a blind…
