Looks like Cheetolini has seen Bob Roberts and gotten a great idea. The best idea!

This is what happens when the poor have been vilified for a generation or two, to the point where folks like that cop no longer see them as human. I’d take the humanity of the homeless over the humanity of that cop any day.

It’s tricky, you want to help, you don’t want to coddle. Just keep in being her friend, that would be my advice. She’ll need to feel she has people in her life that love her regardless.

The very nice canvassers have been by (A LOT) this week & today’s batch patiently listened to me talk to them about how high the unemployment is for deaf folks and how it’s never, ever on anybody’s radar. Then I pointed out that that I do understand that there are other minority groups that definitely need the…

You from Boston? Cheers!

I remember Imelda Marcos — I’m 54, which probably qualifies me as a (very) old person to many. I actually feel like a very old person, so I’m okay with that. This election has shaken me more than I would like to admit and although I will be glad to have Tuesday over and done with and — hopefully — there will at least…

There’s still hope for a disaster? I mean, not to point out the obvious, but this Tuesday is a day ripe for apocalyptic happenings.

I think this theory is sound, because we’ve never had bad earthquakes before the gays and their agenda arrived.

Also — re Marla & Tiffany. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, because though it’s pretty clear he is only capable of caring for himself, he at least likes the idea of having a line of his genes out there to carry on his blood. And that doesn’t apply to Tiffany, so I’m thinking that he simply thinks that she…

That’s a very probable idea — especially since it’s fairly recent. I suspect that paying for abortions is something he’s done more than once. Of course, he’d shortchange people whenever he could get away with it.

I think you might be giving too much credit to the people here — they’ve pretty much shown that he can say and do anything and they’ll still have his vote. For me, for instance, the following are deal breakers:

I think a lot of people simply think he’s their strongarm savior, that whiff of fascism that appeals to them even as they tell themselves they’re patriotic. Sinclair Lewis was onto something when he said than when fascism arrives here it will be wrapped in the American flag.

No, he’s not qualified in any way. Remember when the big talking point was that Obama lacked the experience to be president? It’s so amazing that since that time the Republicans have changed their minds completely. Either that or they’re just shameless hypocrites? Nah ....

Exactly so, I came here to type the same thing.

I think you could argue that Glee, for all it gave their female couple a happy ending in the end, was absolutely terrible representation for queer women. Remember, the lesbian character thanked the boy who outed her, making the show horrifically damaging for many, and that was in season 3. There’s a perception that…

How many of the queer women characters survived their stay on a given show? Because they were being killed off indiscriminately as a cheap plot device all over the place last time I paid attention to American TV. (Guess why I don’t pay much attn to American TV anymore?) That’s far worse than mere tokenism, because for…

Barbara Bush is a shape-shifter. That’s why Siri is so confused.

I read transcripts from her show on occasion. She’s extremely smart — there are a few really good journalists left out there, I shouldn’t paint with such a broad brush. But the corporate masters — since all the media is owned by a select few now — cannot be trusted.

Yes, that’s exactly it. This is all his fault, and I think it would be such delicious irony to finally make Donito Cheetolini take responsibility for something (for the first time ever).

That’s logic! Great American Logic!
