I stopped watching the Real Housewives of Anything when I figured out that I wouldn’t want to know any of these women in real life, let alone spend one more minute watching those like Slade Smiley (refused to pay child support, his son was dying of brain cancer, if I remember correctly) and that dipshit that quit his…

We’ve been shopping at Lands’ End for a long time now. Their bedding is second to none, especially the 6 oz flannel sheets. We’ve bought gifts for other people from them as well. (The diaper bag.) I buy clothes from them. (Plus sized and work at home: Hello, Sport Knit Pants.) I’m so sorry to hear they’re on the…

You know what? I don’t free bleed anymore, either, but I’m heading into this (sagging) tits-out and unashamed. I’m casting my vote for Hillary Clinton in November for every younger woman I know who deserves to have control over her reproductive organs.

Actually, no. There are well-known tropes in romance, but the genre has changed significantly since the 70's. The only constant is the HEA ending.

You’ve never actually read a romance novel written after 1975, have you?

I know Susan Mallery. Besides being a terrific author and an insanely hard worker, she is blunt, funny, sarcastic, and would fit in just fine around here.

I’d like to thank my trad publishing house for overlooking my less-than-svelte appearance and advanced age to sign me anyway. It’s been a mutually beneficial relationship. I’d love to say that I am surprised by Ms. Herr’s comments, but I heard something similar under discussion by a group of editors at Romance Writers…

The only journalist who dared to actually ask Goodell an uncomfortable question in the past several years is Rachel Nichols. One has to be fairly sure she’s not getting anywhere near him with further questions in the foreseeable future.

Dear Melania: Your husband is running for President. Of the United States.

It was written by a PR firm.

Part of my job involves writing about sports. I dared to voice an opinion about Peyton Manning’s sexual harassment issues one afternoon on Twitter. The blowback was immediate and every bit as vile and threatening as what Ms. DiCaro and Ms. Spain are subjected to. Every day.

The guys aren’t wearing ties.

Does age matter when one is willing to admit he or she made a mistake and apologizes for it, or is this just another way of implying that those who are older shouldn’t have a voice in our national dialogue?

Are you willing to do so at the price of four potential Supreme Court Justice appointees over the next 4-8 years, and the certain loss of Roe v. Wade? And if you think Roe v. Wade would survive a Trump/Cruz/Kasich administration, please take a close look at what’s going on with TRAP laws in Texas and Ohio right now,…

Bernie Sanders is more than happy to take votes and donations from members of the Democratic Party while discounting and demeaning them behind their backs (or anyplace he can find a microphone), is he not?

We are invited to a family member’s wedding this summer. It’s a three-day campout fifty miles from civilization in hundred-degree temps. For those who can’t (or won’t) camp, the closest lodging has a two-night guarantee and is a minimum of $200 per night. While I appreciate the fact the bride and groom are attempting…

The diapers segment alone should be sent to every RW’er in your FB timeline that mouths off about the poors being “takers” and “not wanting to work”. The gun segment speaks for itself. If we had a functional Congress, the footage of a gun sale in the parking lot of a Target (with no background check) might be a topic…

I live in Washington State. I have been voting for 30+ years in every election as a Democrat. We did not attend our local caucus. My husband is undecided and I am “I’ll vote for whoever makes it to the Democratic Party nomination.” The Bernie Bros here are so over the top that we knew that would not be an acceptable…

I can’t figure out how she passed up the Junior’s cheesecake. I couldn’t do it.

My opinion, of course: She’s bailing before another expensive lawsuit over the products is filed.
