I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Happy Summer! And before andy repubs vomit, why don’t ya’ll worry about your senators over in Russia kissing arse on the 4th with their dear leader, Putin. 

This is the reason why I love CL.  So much entertainment value.  Then I think to myself, wow, there’s a massive intelligence spread among the population.

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted at Elizabeth Warren today that she should name her new dog Sniffing Bull. It’s blatantly racist and I don’t understand why no ones picking it up. Calling her Pocahontas, which the Trump’s have done for years now, is also blatantly racist. Trump even brought it up unprompted because he was in a…

You going for Carol Burnett’s Scarlet? DO IT!

“Dangit, Marilyn! You only had ONE THING to do! ONE!

I even gave you one of my fancy $15k EPA pens when I…

This is the thing that never ceases to piss me off about entitled customer bullshit.  The fact that they honestly think some poor schmuck making minimum wage is somehow masterminding company policy to screw them over.

LOL I don’t have kids and I still care that they don’t all die.

All chaps are assless.

Once I became a mom, it just really hit me that I wanted to leave a better world for my children and it made me bold. If I was just speaking for myself, I would let myself be steamrolled too much because I am shy and introverted.  But, speaking on behalf of my children made me become more outspoken and persistent.

Farewell, Ellie! I will miss you on the Barf Bag. Thanks for putting up with the inanity that is often the Code 45*. (I was also very glad that your parents named you Ellie, when I did the Smooth Criminal riff a while back. I don’t know how I would have swapped out “Annie” if Stassa had done the Bag that day!) Your…

many families must pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars in airfare to bring the children home
