One of our contractors sends my office several kringle around this time of year, and it is a happy, happy day when it arrives. This year’s shipment is supposed to be arriving tomorrow!

Thank you for acknowledging crotch sweat.

I wish it was mentioned in more workout pant descriptions or reviews. 

It’s terrible that you went through all that. It is.

But it doesn’t negate anything that Michael wrote about Mayor Pete, or the many reasons that black people have ample reason to distrust white people. No one is saying that white people don’t also have difficult lives. But having white skin is still an advantage in…

This is really pretty amazing. I wish there hadn’t been any reason for a trial, but maybe now that cops are actually being convicted of these crimes we’ll finally see less of them. 

I  think “Born to Be My Baby” is better than “Livin’ on a Prayer,” but I will celebrate the first couple notes of any Bon Jovi song. 

Tulsi is a Democrat in name only. She supports war criminals and consistently appears on white supremacist Tucker Carlson’s show. 

Her mother is Indian and her father is Jamaican. In America, because it was founded by a bunch of white men who owned human beings from Africa, if someone has even a small percentage of black ancestry, they’re considered black. Like Obama, who had a white mother. He was never considered white. 

I know off the top of my head that Danny Meyers’ restaurants don’t have tipping. I’m guessing it wouldn’t take that much research to find out, before going out to eat, which restaurants in your community got rid of tipping. Or only go out for fast food. But just not tipping isn’t the protest you think it is.

But you…

I read the whole thing, since I stutter. A lot of it rang true, like having trouble getting things you can’t change to come out (I often hear “did you forget your name?” because it’s something I can’t improvise and the pressure builds).

I think it probably does explain some of his slips, but it would do a lot of good…

Last night my mom and I were talking about the lack of Latin men on the People’s Sexiest list, and she said “the guy married to the beautiful woman,” and I somehow knew she was talking about Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz.

I realized yesterday that Ricky Martin (or any other Latino) has never been picked People’s Sexiest Man Alive. If that doesn’t show the whole thing is a sham, I don’t know what does.

This is a gossip column. The impeachment proceedings don’t belong in this. They’ll get their own post. 

Yes. We can nitpick. If People can correct their course and pick Idris Elba, a man who is actually sexy after Blake Shelton, there’s no reason to ever pick Justin Timberlake. JT has songs that are sexy, but watching him perform them makes them less sexy. 

I remember hearing that Rosamund Pike went to a morning dance party when she was eight or nine months pregnant; apparently she’s a big EDM fan. 

So both the overall winner AND the first American to cross the finish line were women? That’s awesome! 

The university in the town I grew up in built a lake in the middle of campus when I was a kid, and they spent, I believe, $2 million for a swan couple to grace the water.

Within a few weeks or months, they were pushed out to the dirty pond across the street by geese. 

I am also a peanut butter and butter person, especially on the tighter nook side of an English muffin. The side with wider nooks (or are they crannies?) gets just butter, because it’ll take a lot. But the other side gets butter and peanut butter. 

This sounds goooood...

I don’t follow any “influencers”—do they all have bad grammar and poor spelling?

Also, if there is going to be booze, the bar should still be open when the dancing begins, especially if the bridal party just arrived after photos.
