Sadly, he’s essentially running unopposed. Six more years.

That may be the one thing I remember from political theory class 20 years ago. The political spectrum is not a line. It’s a circle. It’s true that when you are so far left/ right, you have more in common with the far/ left right than with the center.

We’re also supposed to shame Reese Witherspoon for telling people to vote. 

Leah already broke her tiki torches.

My 16 yo has been binge watching Glee for the last 2 weeks. She has started fast forwarding through most of Rachel’s scenes because she hates her. I had to forward the Vulture article to her this morning to tell her she was right. I was obsessed with the show for about the first 3 seasons, so she has grown up with the…

I’m a baptist turned secularist and that thought has even crossed my mind. My 16 yo decided she wants to try to read the bible this summer. I told her to watch out because there’s some crazy sex stuff in Genesis, and she might as well skip on ahead to Revelations for relevancy.

That tells me that they not only have a tradition of laziness and entitlement but a tradition of active disdain for the military. How else can there be not one single person to feel a call of duty? There’s no black sheep that wanted to join the poors?

Mika added to the story this morning that he once threw a bible at Joe Scarborough and said that his mother had given it to him. It had never been opened. The utter lack of intellectual curiosity to wonder what the table of contents even says. 

I was a child of the 80s and teen of the 90s. We did all of our school shopping at JCPenney. Then in middle school, I found out that was very uncool because there were no name brands like Guess. In high school, it was all about the smaller middle of the mall stores like Gap and Gadzooks. When I got my first job, I…

My favorite poll that MSNBC keeps citing is that Biden is winning the voters who don’t like either candidate. 

According to MSNBC, he’s winning over seniors and Trump is losing their support. That’s who votes. Biden put out a powerful video about the loss of 100,000 lives. Morning Joe showed it the top of every hour. The people who saw it are the ones who vote.

I feel like people who worry about how good they are at sex are also people who think every sexual act needs to be mind blowing and that just ain’t how it works. Especially in a long term monogamous relationship.

That’s actually a conservative view. I had to mentally break up with my friend when she told me that she didn’t believe the government should fund public schools. When I asked her what tax dollars should go to, she said roads and military. BTW, she just accepted a government GRANT for her small business.

Saw him on Real Time a few weeks ago. He’s now morphed into Offensive Blue Collar White Guy. 

Arkansas was all over the news because of an outbreak at a high school pool party. It was supposed to be graduation weekend, so there were thousands of gatherings of different sizes. This is the one that got hit, but no one thinks it’s going to be them. Hell, I was just invited to a pool party this weekend that would…

Several years ago, I was staying in a hotel flipping through channels and stopped on this beautiful hunk of a man and could not change the channel. There is a lot of charisma and magnetism in that body.

Thank you. I’m doing very well, and he isn’t. I’m 5 years removed from the situation, so I can see where I was acting in a very self-destructive way. I see my friends who left their husbands and are still single, and I wish I could have done the same, at least for my kids. I’ve done a lot of recovery from being…

My ex-husband used to travel a few times a year for a hobby that he had, so he’d see a lot of the same people. At some point he was pushing to open the marriage (it doesn’t happen just in advice columns), and I finally told him that if he had to do it, find someone when he travels, but no spending money on her,…

I use old law school books. I don’t want to see myself shot from below. One of my colleagues asked why I was studying up on employment discrimination and domestic relations. I guess it would be fitting right now, but no, I’m just vain.

I’m early 40s, and there is a woman in her late 60s who my friends and I cross paths occasionally. She is stunning. She is who I aspire to look like when I’m that age, except I remember that I don’t look that good at this age.
