Watching both “Interstellar” and “Gravity” made me queazy to my stomach. I have no fucking desire to get out their in space and see the earth. I am all cool on terra firma. Thanks.

Getting lost at sea is literally one of my worst nightmares. That and getting stranded in space.

Corker & Flake sounds like a British detective series that takes place somewhere in the country side near the Scottish border and involves two aging balding white men with pot bellies and sad Basset Hound eyes.

Best Denver-area food challenge performance by a journalist since Maureen Dowd.

Those were the days :(

No need to apologize. My son spent a lot of time in the Horn, doing god knows what because he’s still not allowed to talk about it, and I spent a lot of time worrying about him coming home in a flag draped casket and I am enraged on Ms. Johnson’s behalf.

You sit there and talks about respect for the nation, the flag, the troops.

“I know that human being and fish can coexist peacefully.”

I do not miss him as a legislator or as the point person for driving the direction of this country.

I feel the same as you. I think the guy’s an asshole. I don’t think he’s an irredeemable piece of shit. I bet he’s haunted by the shit he’s done and the souls of those affected by his policies swirl around his head and gnaw at his conscience. I believe him when he said Kanye’s Comment cut him deeply and hurt him. I…

No way. I love when Obama says “Folks”.

I’ve always been a fan of “put food on our families.”
