Don’t give me this flag-humping “patriotism” bullshit.

“Fearing Democrats would find a way around this Catch 22 of consequences and come out on top, [Paul] Ryan has scrapped it.”

Which is why 45 is their perfect president, their ideals are no longer anti-government. They are mainstream now.

Remember back when stuff like Facebook and Youtube and Twitter all seemed like this wonderful new set of platforms that would enrich our lives and tie us as a species together in new and exciting ways as we exchanged ideas freely? How long was it before that went completely in the opposite direction and just started fe…

I wonder what the terms of their probation were? Because if it involved doing the simplest thing as not abusing his kids then he just bought himself a one way ticket to prison.

“In perhaps the interview’s most provocative section, Bourdain answers a question about the Monica Lewinsky scandal by calling Bill Clinton, “A piece of shit. Entitled, rapey, gropey, grabby, disgusting.””

The runner up that I left off this list was “Tariffs” which is actually the issue that has sparked the most true dissent within his party, which itself goes to show where the Republican party’s priorities are.

Literally the only thing that would cause congressional Republicans to turn on Trump would be if he started loudly and consistently advocating for a 50% tax rate on those making more than $1,000,000/year.

A local DJ said this about Bourdain, “He was the antidote to xenophobia.” Miss you, Tony.

It is interesting how there’s this reputation of “the book is always better,” but there are plenty of examples of masterpiece films that arose from tepid literature. Wise Guy isn’t a bad book, for example, but there’s so much life in Goodfellas that you can’t compare the two. I guess it just comes down to which is…

Hey, Cathy in HR really worked hard on that

I think that’s exactly it. “Uh, I hate these three coins but am I gonna look like a dummy dumping them in the jar?”

It’s possible a customer isn’t leaving a tip like this so much as they just don’t want the change. There are times I feel awkward at a grocery story waiting to get a few pennies back from the cashier. I don’t really want pennies, but I also don’t really want to be the kind of person who doesn’t take money.

I spent some time last winter catching up on some books that became or “inspired” movies. Jaws, The Godfather, and Nothing Lasts Forever. All of them were so much better in movie form that it was almost a slog to get through them, because of how much better I knew they could be.

When something this vile makes sense within a system, one must raise some questions about the system.

The lawyer part of my brain read the headline and was like “I bet this has something to do with insurance companies” because most people are unaware that it’s usually the lawyers for insurance companies who are suing the other person’s insurance company. Like, if someone hits you with their car, their insurance…

It is almost like prioritizing greed and avarice for a few generations has had a negative effect on society.

Rounds are on me!

A round of applause for capitalism, everybody!
