I have been a nanny for 12 years. I have nine nieces and nephews. If you’re around a baby for ten minutes and the grossest thing that ends up in your mouth is a binky, it’s a good day.

I...have some news about Liberace.

DAMN. That stamp is going to be worth $$$ in like 20 years

yep yep.

I write about it voluntarily, because it’s my responsibility to do so.

I’m familiar with the controversy, I was just rewatching the clip above. I find myself agreeing with some points that each of these men make to a degree, and it’s a very important conversation that isn’t addressed honestly very often. I do enjoy hearing people disagree in an intelligent way.

I don't worry too much about Social Security. They'll make adjustments, maybe scale back some benefits, but it will still be there. You can't have generations of people giving up 6.2% of their salaries for others their entire careers and then pull the plug on the program. There would be anarchy, and rightfully so.

Now I'm starting to think that the author didn't know that Val was married to Eddie. I mean ... that's the whole joke. Eric Stonestreet tells "some lady" to get out of the way. She turns around and it's the ex-wife of Van Halen's legendary guitarist, and mother of its current bassist. That's why it's funny!

London is a pretty busy place...I highly doubt anyone notices when someone gets off at the same stop and walks the same direction as them for a few blocks. Like, yes this is weird and creepy, but I highly doubt he was following someone off a night train out to Loughton and slinking around residential streets.

Last night, Sean Hannity ran a segment on the shenanigans, which was of course utterly appalled (though there were an awful lot of long, lingering shots of nubile college girls in bikinis):

Listen, this isn't personal. But we hear about the fucking Kardashian morons every 2 posts. Please for the love of dog, STOP IT. I love Jez for the other articles, but seriously. If you ignore them, they will wither away and die. They take up more news space than anything else. Who the fuck cares?

Wouldn't it have to be dead to be that color? That, or just fake.

dr.pepper really is the best soda

Law enforcement officer here to answer your driver's license question: a copy is no good, we do need to see the physical license. However, we can verify in our system that you do have a valid license, and most of us are not assholes and believe you when you say you lost it. The ticket for failure to display is…

I say it's pretty reasonable to in effect by this new policy at least operate as though the purchaser used one of the store's 20% coupons, if indeed the thing returned was purchased there in the first place (which is an awfully generous presumption in 2015 where there's no receipt or other evidence to indicate the…

Anna did a piece not too long ago about how she was being systematically harassed with death & rape threats and the cops were more or less "what's an internet?"

Reading Sondheim's assessment, I actually don't disagree with him.

Not a total scam. A good rating means nothing, but a bad rating does. Companies that take their reputation seriously don't allow a bad BBB rating to persist.

I just change her in the car. I think its more sanitary, and unless she's had a blowout, workable, worth the trip out to the car.

Yep, being in DC it's been pretty much 100% at museums, parks, and other government facilities. :)
