I grew up in the 1970's-80's, and my friend and I got so tired of our mothers’ anxiety about dinner (e.g., we would be having a great time doing some mother-daughter activity, but it all had to be dropped the second it got near dinnertime) that we started referring to it sarcastically as the sacred meal. Although I’m…

Sorry to get pedantic on you, but I have to mention here that Marie-Antoinette never said that; it was one of many sexist attacks on her. This is not to say that she was a radical progressive, but she did have far more concern for the poor than Christie apparently does.

It tops that time when he did massive cuts in school programs, including sports— and then spent our tax payer dollars for helicopter rides to his own son’s soccer games.

But the Church.

Gorsuch’s crap about “biology” drives me nuts. He repeatedly referred to “a biology based birth registration regime” in his dissent, even though Arkansas’ “regime” is not biology-based, as you pointed out. In other words, he lied to try to hide his bigotry. In an official court writing.

broke her tailbone and split her lip during previews. (Her co-star, Tom Sturridge, broke his nose.)

I have no opinion about what Hanson said, but you all have to hear this amazing cover of “Mmmbop” by Postmodern Jukebox.

(but I’m really being a jerk).

I feel like he thought it would be better if he didn’t prepare: that way he could say, “I have the find out if the president thinks it would be okay for me to answer first,” and avoid the whole thing.

This reminds me of Putin’s recent comment that only women have “bad days.”

This. It’s amazing how much someone’s personal history can affect world events. If W didn’t have his own daddy issues, we might never have had the most recent Iraq war, and then ISIS might never have formed, etc.

I didn’t even know that. I just read those NYTimes/Politica stories about how his real estate companies screwed over poor tenants, too. He and Ivanka are like Leopold and Loeb.

WTH. What happened?

I have jury duty in a couple of weeks, and if I get called I’m going to keep this comment in mind.
