I’ve been scared for a while that trump ditches pence for haley, then she runs next time and the GOP starts on their “we can’t be sexist we have a female candidate” bullshit and a lot of the white suburban women who helped flip seats suddenly disappear. If republicans are unbearable with their “Lincoln was a…

But we got some great stories out of it, how many people can say they had a babysitter they eventually found out was their dad’s mistress or that they’ve been used as collateral in a poker game! Honestly my mom absolutely got it worse than me when I think about all of it, that’s why when I found my dad’s hidden stash…

Thank you for the kind words, I think it’s one of those things we know even early on regarding other people but yeah it takes far too long before we apply that to ourselves. I’m just glad my wife got her good years with her dad, she sure as hell deserved them. I’m honestly at peace with my situation ever since my…

Yeah, our first long weekend away included the saddest edition of that drinking game “have you ever” maybe ever- (been abandoned in a mall while he met with a woman/buddy/just did stuff and forgot you, etc.) Her dad really tried after she did cut him off for a while and he kind of got it, honestly him walking her down…

This may not be seen because I’m gray, but my wife and I were just debating last night which one of us had a worse one (I say hers was worse, she says mine) so the timing just seems too perfect not to put it out there:

I agree that we can’t be dismissive of swing voters, nationwide it’s not a largely important group but Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida are hugely important and are up for grabs. I actually think there will be increased turnout for Sanders but mostly in liberal strongholds, and by conservatives in a places…

I think she knows her only shot is to go into the convention far enough to the left (which she legitimately is) to say she is the ONLY candidate who will appeal to Sanders supporting progressives but is also pragmatic and plan-oriented enough to calm and appeal to moderates afraid of Bernie. Also it’s just her best way…

My concern is that whereas most campaigns would be starting to use terms like “new deal democrat” knowing that socialist has a very bad connotation for a lot of people, that won’t happen here. I think Sanders thinks he did enough last time to define democratic socialism, but that was during a primary, and he lost. If…

Seeing as we have actual US Senators saying things like that make it hit pretty dang close to home

Yeah I was really hoping when he saw him this episode we’d find out the video was filmed after the fact, when he first started to feel unappreciated/see the lack of permanence to his “success.” I like a lot of what they did with him, and I’d watch Irons read from a phone book, but while later Veidt worked for me a lot…

I think it’s because she knows that he isn’t as detached as he thinks he is. He views humanity, and his connection with it, and its scaled importance differently than most, and he nearly was detached in the comic before Laurie snapped him out of it. But then he feels that connection and goes of to try creating life,…

Owners and salespeople at overpriced classic car dealerships

I think it’s by ignoring the debates (and as someone who has been a fan for a long time, and who cheered as he took it to palin in their debate, he just canNOT bring it anymore). There’s a real debate about whether it’s better to energize the base or try to win back the 9-15% (depending on source) who voted for…

Inslee for Interior is great, I think Harris may be looking AG (though she already has a pretty great gig)

Have you been reading my diary?

It really is disappointing. Years ago my daughter was excited to join Girl Scouts because she wanted to do the kinds of things she’d seen me do when we camped, she quit after a month because they first event was making bath bombs, the closest thing to knot tying was hair braiding, and there were no plans to go…

Oh to me it’s the cringiest of that group, just due to “...tuition is important but so is intuition. Intuition is knowing what’s about to happen, does anyone know...what’s about to happen...” That’s such a killer. For me the only topper is when he promised a surprise at the end of the day and the entire office stands…

He wouldn’t take it down, he’d explain to the Jewish and Muslim communities that he stands with them regarding ham, and agrees that it deserves to be taken down, but then remind everyone that it has a point of view to consider and that it’s important for all sandwiches to reach across the bread aisle for any real…

I think you are right they won’t go after each other, but I am looking forward to the contrast between Sanders and his ideas and Warren who has plans, I really hope she hammers home the difference.I do also think Biden will be more ready for Harris, but that she’s smart enough to go at him from a different angle and…

I come from a long line of insomniacs and used to regularly run on 3 or 4 hours of sleep, damn it is a different, more thorough level of exhaustion with kids. I’m sure some is getting older as well, but my mother is awake at 2 and up to watch Morning Joe, and when I asked if it really is as simple as kids are…
