The problem with the death penalty isn’t the people who deserve it. It’s the people who don’t.

A lot of people pussyfoot around this subject, turning it into a tit-for-tat argument before long. The truth is that neither side has to be a dick about it. People may think I’m a boob for my opinion, but fan-service is a personal issue for every fan. I don’t want to be too anal about the subject, but there is no harm…

How long have you been carrying that chip on your shoulder? It seems heavy.

Heckling the president at State of the Union? Not harassment.

Spent most of this morning alternating between numb shock and crying so hard I started dry heaving. Many in my office were openly weeping as well. I feel like the country I love so much has rejected me and everything I stand for. Contemplated moving away. Threw myself into my work, and avoided all news media the same…

We live in such a PC culture now.

Get angry. Feel that anger. Keep it. Hold it tight. Never forget how it feels.

I’ll offer this ray of hope. Probably won’t get out of the greys, but it’s worth saying.

I can’t even think about Kelly Clarkson singing It’s Quiet Uptown because I get teary eyed and my coworkers think I’m insane. Oh, tears, here they come. *sob*

Correct. He is not a singer. He is a genius.

He is an above-average singer, but certainly below-(traditional) Broadway caliber. I love him and I love Hamilton, but the dude wouldn’t have been able to get a singing part in a Broadway musical if he didn’t write ‘em himself. So he wrote ‘em himself, like a brilliant person! Go Lin! :D

I find many beloved children’s stories disturbing. This one tells us that kidnapping, Stockholm syndrome and bestiality are all just fine, as long as the girl finds love in the end.

In happier news, a woman who was born prior to women being allowed to vote just cast her ballot for Hillary Clinton. It’s pretty incredible to think all that this woman has seen in her lifetime and that she is alive today to not only vote but for the first female presidential candidate.

1. Because the FBI is part of the Executive Branch.

I don’t know about “google,” but I’m a lawyer and I can make a good case the FBI director falls well within those intended by the Hatch Act.

I really wanted to be a Wiccan when I was a teenager. I still have the books I bought. But ultimately I lack the drive to truly practice any religion.

My mom tells us not to talk about it, but there is something sensitive about our family. We feel things, and then we bite our tongues to prevent bothers from thinking we are nuts.

I was napping in our guest room one Monday morning when I woke up to hearing someone running up and down the stairs, and the swishing of track pants. ‘Give me five minutes Daniel,’ I said, assuming it was my son. Then I sat up with a start - it was Monday. My son was in school. The footsteps and swishing continued. I…

When I was about twelve, I went snooping through a closet and found photos of a little girl that looked like me, but seemed to have been taken a good 10 years earlier. I took the box to my mom, who told me that we would talk about it later, and to go outside to play. When I brought the pictures up later, she denied I…

Yes, I have been waiting for this! I’ve always been away before, but this time I am ready, though I’m in the grays. Oh well.
