Trying to be more papal than the pope? (I’m directly translating here, no idea if the saying works in English.)

16 years of Catholic schooling and samesies.

If you want kids to find out what abortions are and how to get them. Put a sticker in a required book talking about how bad they are. Kids are all about the forbidden knowledge and this generation has the internet.

Even if this is true, and I sort of think it is—at least the part about buying things, my wedding was still the best day of my life. I cannot explain how meaningful it was to have so many people who loved and cared about my husband and I in the same room dancing to Madonna. I had so much fun, and it was completely…

This. Gloves make a lot of tasks very clumsy to do, and mostly provide the illusion of superior cleanliness. I feel more inclined to make mistakes in the kitchen, while wearing gloves, because it reduces my sense of touch. I need to feel the knives and other equipment I am using, and the ingredients I am using them…

Most cooks at good restaurants don’t wear gloves at all. If you ever go to one of those fancy restaurants where the kitchen is visible from the dining area the only people wearing gloves are the people on prep working with raw meats.

I was done with him when he wrote about driving drunk on the reg on some Caribbean island after his divorce (other people live there and your pain is not an excuse to put them in danger!) but it turns out I’m not as done as I thought, because I’d fucking cut Alton Brown before I listened to him defame the good name of…

No, she really is.

Not as interesting as her shame-the-homeless masterwork, but since the Sergeants Benevolent Association has picked up that beat, she had to find something new.

I guess now is a bad time to ask you where my wedding gift is? Did you think you could get away with just the lovely bachelorette party, hilarious/sweet toast, multiple instances of hand-holding, and Allen djing??? Consider this the confrontation I knew we had to have!

OMG, the shower gift IS a wedding gift. The point of showers is so that people can buy gifts off the registry and not have to tote them to the wedding. Do people not realize that anymore???!!!

You should have shamed the shit out of her and replied, “I already bought you this, this, AND this. That’s 3 gifts by my count,…

I’ve had vomitous migraines for well over 30 years, it’s now turned into random moments when I dont even have a headache- I’ll just hurl, no warning.

I can also vomit on command! I have gotten out of tickets that way.

Definitely the former, while there are a few liberal leaning members of Tribs board, she is most definitely not one of them. The editorial page is, most days, 75% batshit rich white conservatives and like one column from Clarence Page.

She’s a member of the Tribune Editorial Board. It’s pretty much whackadoo conservative policy town. They hate teachers with a passion, for instance, and have been huge supporters of the charter school scam.
