If we didn’t expect moderators to fact check, we’d have someone like David Letterman or Ricky Gervais moderate the debates. Instead, we have NEWS EXPERTS (theoretically) moderate, because we expect them to use their expertise to make sure we’re getting fact-based debates.

Starred for ALEX DUMPTEE.

Well, I for one say, Merci, mon ami!

My sisters are teachers, and I have friends who are teachers, so totally #notallteachers -- many teachers are brilliantly intelligent and, like one of my siblings, actually became teachers because they’d experienced a bad teacher of their own and wanted to provide a better education.

Sure it does. I am the arbiter of good taste.

No, it’s a terrible song. Horrible. I honestly didn’t realize that ANYONE liked it, I just thought it was radio stations playing it for the teenybopper crowd the way they occasionally do Beiber’s songs, which I turn off almost as quickly as this auditory atrocity.

I don’t get what this article has to do with Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

Super petty, but I can’t help it.. maybe this can be edited, because this stopped me in my tracks and distracted me through the whole article.

Genius!

I believe that’s a disease known as “puppyhood.” :o)

Yep, if there was some kind of tracker that required an officer to fill out paperwork with an explanation of every time they removed their firearm from their holster -- which honestly seems a completely reasonable request -- then I bet it would cut down on at least some of the bullshit.

A person was already in custody and handcuffed on the ground, and some other cop comes up and starts yanking on the handcuffed person’s hair, calling him names. PULLING HIS HAIR. WTF with that? This is being captured on the

OH COME ON. I just want to bury my nose in that fur and make kissy noises.

Photo or it didn’t happen. C’mon, PUPPY PHOTO!!

First name I thought of was John Travolta.

Hint: it involves this:

Have any of you guys watched Outlander? The wife of a friend of mine wants to watch it, and I sold it to him as having battles and “manly stuff” that he’d enjoy, too. After watching the first episode, though, he says it’s a chick show. Thoughts?

Aw, Burneko, not a question, I just wanted to mention that this really touched me. I lost my beloved pup three weeks ago, and my mother keeps telling me it’ll get better, and I’ve told her that I don’t WANT it to get better. If it gets better, that means I’m letting the sadness of losing him go and getting further

I’m taking my mom to Vegas for her 70th birthday next month. For the evenings, I’m taking her to see Elton John and a Cirque du Soleil thing. Is there anything in Vegas that we should absolutely go see? I’ve never been there. I’m not a gambler, so that isn’t my thing. Anywhere we should try to get reservations to eat?
