In my dream world it turns out that Paul Ryan is in Russian money laundering and spy trouble up to his neck, or at least the cover up for same, and we get to watch his smug little ass head to jail. It’s ok, though, he’ll like it because I understand that in prison you can lift lots of weights... I mean, it pleases me,…

I heard a story on NPR about money and intelligence. The more financial pressure you are under, the worse you do on intelligence tests. So, if you just got paid or received a windfall, you will do very well. The further away from a paycheck, or the more financial pressure builds up, the poorer you perform.

I assume everyone is leaking, even Trump. Although his are public in his interviews...

Man, things happen fast in this administration!

Yeah, the two 9 year olds that I know have better spelling and handwriting. Either one could probably write a better letter to the president of the US. But kids develop at different rates, I guess, so who knows.

I had a friend tell me once that leasing is no big deal, since it’s just like having a car payment. I must be cheap as hell, because I hate having a car payment. I drive my cars into the ground. Because I am cheap as hell, I guess.

I’m surprised she didn’t assure us that she is not racist or biased, and that’s not like her. Only thing really missing from her excusepology.

That thing she totally made up? It was completely consensual.

And they’re only asking you questions back. What’s your beef?

When I write my existential novel (and I probably never will), the heroine will eventually say just that. “Yawn, another white dish. Who cares?” I will name her Linda, after you. I feel that is perhaps the best summation of life I have heard in a very long time.

I guess, if three days work feels like fucking forever, we have a real good glimpse of how much work this guy is used to doing?

Oh, man. You’re really taking me back!

I love her. And I miss her the most. Obama was better than we deserved, but Michelle was a freaking heaven sent miracle.

Except that you often can’t get the interview without the degree. At the last three places I worked every office job required at least an Associate’s degree, regardless of experience, and you couldn’t even talk to someone if they didn’t have that degree no matter how much experience they had. I don’t think that’s so…

Wow, such a great comment. I read someone recently who said students should be paying off loans while still in school if they can. I also read that IUPUI is giving students a statement every term so they can see exactly what they are borrowing as they go along. Since doing this, total student borrowing at IUPUI has…

These are both so good!

I learned a lot about money management, building networks, balancing priorities, etc. I went to school a long time ago and it was much less expensive (I always suggest that younger people STOP hating boomers for social security and START hating boomers for college costs and indebtedness—they could do both, I guess) so…

He’s got the crazy eyes. Is this going to be funny or horrifying? Maybe both? Maybe funnifying?

When I saw the house I did think it looked like a flying saucer with balconies so I am feeling that Starship Enterprise reference. It is not attractive.

Alaska is so far west, it’s east. Alaska is now the eastest part of America.
