....Aaaaand now I’m starting to wonder how many women Kelly has assaulted. Given his support of Porter, and how he stuck up for rapists in the military, it would not surprise me to find a nonzero number.

Even in the formulation “We were in contact” raises my eyebrows. Come on, he called you. Begging you to fix things for him, because that’s what women are supposed to do, to protect dudes from the consequences of their heinousness.

These are new tools for an age-old game. Anything that the powers that be discern as being threatening to the status quo have always been surveilled. Unions in the 10s and 20s. Commies since communism. Civil rights workers. Anti war protestors. Women’s libbers. Even boring old Democrats. They’ve always been viewed and…

Looking forward to reading this book. My library doesn’t have it yet!

“Urged him to stay and fight.” Um, sounds like another night at home with the missus, right? Throw in some honeymoon kicking and choking out on the couch, and bob’s your uncle!

I’ve been with my hair guy for more than 30 years, 3 salons, and three different colors of dye. I dare an online service to understand all of my damn cowlicks!

Here’s hoping that ‘returning to the justice system’ means donning an orange jumpsuit.

Pretty sure he’s the grandson of the Earl of Grantham’s valet. Said valet was always under suspicion for one murder or other...

OMG, I used to drink nothing but Lambrusco back in high school. (It was way back in the past, when the legal age in my state was 18; nobody carded at liquor stores.) Pretty sure I haven’t had it since. Didn’t know anybody still made it!

Here’s how I tell the difference: a cold is unpleasant and eases in a few days, the flu makes me pray for death for more than a week, eases, and then wallops again.

I find myself wondering why Fox News would even bother with confirming the NYT story. I mean, isn’t that off-brand? Or are there still actual journalists hiding beneath the potted plants over there?

Yeah, I’m with you. That’s a creepy-ass collection.
