My dad’s family were Hungarian immigrants. Maybe that was why affection in terms of hugs and “I love yous” never came easily to him. He was gruff but we quickly learned it was mostly just show and he became “The Old Bear”. He taught me how to: throw a split finger knuckle ball, how to tie over a dozen types of knots,…

I shared this story on Jezebel before, but it was a long time ago, so might as well tell it again:

Our family has a long standing tradition that any celebration involving cards, the card must be totally inappropriate, addressed to someone else, and signed by someone else.

My Dad was a wonderful man. He took my sister and I to breakfast every Saturday morning so Mom could sleep in. This happened every Saturday (I got cheeseburgers, sis chocolate chip pancakes) no matter how long he’d been on the road (selling hunks of steel - that z-shaped thing your bike pedal is on is a “forging”).

Agree. I started reading thinking “well, it’s tone deaf and awful, but opinion and free speech and I personally think she’s a tool but...” and then I kept reading and kept reading and by the time I came across the ‘it’s sickening’ comment I was done.

Yeah, I’d be a lot more hesitant if they were calling on her to be banned from the theater, or fired from her job. Not inviting her and not giving her a free ticket? That’s pretty much the perfect response, frankly.

LOL WUT. I’m no fan of Kathy Griffin and think what she did is dumb, but this shit’s a hell of a reach. Pretty sure the Twinkie defense is on stronger ground than whatever the hell this is.

Fuck you, some nut decided to do this. It wasn’t because of Kathy Griffin.

That’s the both sides equivalent of equating Richard Pryor saying “dead honky” on an SNL skit to a Klan rally.

Have always loved Julia Stiles. Think she is so underrated as an actor. I still remember her SNL hosting gig and how funny and fearless she was.

This is what Pence wants America to be like.
