If they’re worried about the children, probably they would keep this whole thing out of the tabloids.

Yeah, the first thing to pop into my head was this guy I went to high school with who repeatedly drove drunk. Eventually he got in a horrendous accident, killing both parents of another student, and spending the rest of high school wearing stuff like above as he rehabilitated. So initial reaction to Teva/Uggs = Do not…

Bad decisions that involved broken bones, obviously.

I loved Tevas until they made the ones that were supposed to reduce odours. I never had a problem with my Tevas being smelly until they made Tevas designed to not get smelly, and those got so gross so fast that we had to double bag them when we threw them out. Only shoes I’ve ever had that smelled bad. After that mess…

So it’s not just me who thought these look like things that are worn in nursing homes and hospital rehabilitation units. They look like shoes made for diabetics at risk for losing limbs or for people with gangrenous wounds. Not attractive.

Just so we’re clear, we’re long past the point where saying someone could run for office was a compliment. At this point saying so is essentially a euphemism for “wow, that guy really seems to be a duplicitous sociopath, doesn’t he?”

A) The Sarah Ferguson is fat thing got pretty old by the 1990s. Who cares?

I always found it weird that no media people ever seem to point out that many of his hateful tweets are sent out at 2 and 3 am. That’s very strange behaviour, particularly from a guy in his 70s.

She sort of did choose a public life, though. There was no helping the attention she received after being bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding, but after that she actively pursued public exposure with her book and writing. She could easily have become an elementary school teacher or something but she didn’t. The…

Parenting a pre-school age kid is very different from parenting teenagers. I can definitely see how differences of opinion might only come up when they get older, with regards to things like sex, drugs, alcohol, parties, curfews, driving etc.

One of my sassier teachers in high school showed us Roman Polanski’s Macbeth. It’s the first film Playboy produced. There was a lot of unnecessary nudity and super bloody violence. But we certainly paid attention to it, and lots of students finally figured out what the hell was going on in that play as a result, so I…

Growing up, I had a few teachers who regularly swore at and and/or insulted students, and none of them were good teachers. At all. I did have some good teachers who would eye-roll or who were wry and sarcastic, but they were professional enough to not lose their temper or behave really unprofessionally with their…

Decades of cuts to educational funding and enabling substandard education through widespread and unregulated homeschooling* = how this is happening.

The thing I don’t understand is voters who would switch from Hilary to Trump because she withheld a pneumonia diagnosis for 2 days when he is still obviously withholding information about his health, as made clear by the crazy first doctor’s letter, the bizarre Dr. Oz appearance, and the fact that his “updated” health…

I had a teacher who used to say shit like this. It isn’t as funny as you might think being on the receiving end of insults from someone who has that much control over your life. We had an assembly about verbal and emotional abuse by the RCMP that year where we were told we should report anyone who abused us to the…

It was hard, he was young. Also, his immediate family are weirdly tight-lipped about things, so we have no way of ever knowing whether it was an intentional or unintentional drug overdose. And somehow not knowing made his sudden death harder to deal with. He was the kind of guy who straddled the line between reckless…

The 5 million will be in-kind donations of vouchers for flights on Trump Air, and scholarships to Trump University.

He really does remind me of those old stories about Reagan’s advisors having to eventually deliver his briefings in cartoon form to get him to pay attention. We all act like Trump’s idiocy is somehow unprecedented, when all we need to do is look back 30 years to Reagan.

His limited vocabulary is the result of him having all of the words, and then carefully whittling down the English vocabularly to only the “best words.” Because he’s an efficient businessman who won’t settle for anything less than the best. None of the best words, coincidentally enough, fall outside of the vocabulary…
