You'll have fun. Don't believe the haters. Cleveland is great.

Please don't assume some desire for royalty on the part of Americans.

I'm quite well versed in British history, but am unsure as to why the queen stabilizes your political system. The British system seems capable of continuing its fine modern system sans queen.

I go to sites like Serious Eats. I also have Bittman's How to Cook Everything.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is splendid and a little goes a long way.

How dare you post a picture of a puppy I can't have. Sniff. Sniff.

True!!!! Thank you.

Is that you, Diabetty Spuckler?

Thank you. A million times, thank you. The majority of people who comment on Gawker media don't get this.

Everything you say makes sense, but the commenters at Gawker media tend to have a mystical faith in brand-name schools. It's a little sad, really.

It doesn't. I can't emphasize enough how well a lot of Americans do without a "prestige" degree.

I advise at a four-year university that serves the working class. My students are 95 percent from modest means.

Business in the back. Party in the front. Reverse mullet.

Heather, I like you too, and I'm pouting because Rotating Orange sent the awesome hug!

I truly don't know. I am from a large Catholic family myself; we all agree, we spook fundies.

Noted. Thanks.

Wait, let me guess:

I'm pretty much the same. But evangelicals have a mystical fear of Catholics.

Women and minorities get jobS. Hubby doesn't care what the yahoos think.

My husband, who makes lots of hiring decisions, has a whiny white guy policy: guys who talk about how oppressed white guys are do not get promoted. It has never failed him as a policy. These guts are not smart enough to do the job.
