You have got to be kidding me...

Reporter: Tom, do you like Don Trump?

Hopefully all the people who say blacks only eat fried chicken and watermelon will now drop those racist stereotypes, and replace them with the racist stereotypes in this article.

The words expressed... were NOT meant to offend anyone.

This is so fucking stupid. 99% of the time people who complain about “gotcha journalism” are just idiots who can’t figure out the SUPER DUPER EASY WAYS not to say something stupid. If you want to be “brave,” the answer is “Donald Trump is a friend, but that doesn’t mean I endorse all of his policy positions or agree…

“By everything, he presumably means everything.”

Vince Guaraldi is the freaking BEST. There’s nothing that puts me in the mood for the holiday more than his Charlie Brown Christmas album. I can remember being a little kid in a trailer, watching this sucker on a black & white TV back in the mid-70s. Hearing the music always brings back memories.

Just more proof that you can’t really co-opt an offensive term in the hopes of removing the sting. Certain words just don't belong in the vernacular, no matter who uses them.

Thanks. And that part is the one thing that sorta excites me. We were in BWI during the NLCS (she’s already been working there, but won’t move for a while) and on a whim we rented a car and went to Citi Field for Game 2. Which, as a White Sox fan, I thoroughly enjoyed.

I definitely need to find a Chicago bar there. I’m actually used to not seeing my friends that much, many of them left for several years, although all but two have migrated back to Chicago (one just left, the other is stuck in LA-LA land) recently, so the timing kinda stinks. I’ve traveled a lot, so I am used to…

Thanks. I am not too worried about the people if I move (my GF is for sure moving, but we might do distance til I figure out my own job situation, and I own instead of renting, which complicates things further), as I have spent time in the area and know a fair amount of Chicago people who wound up in D.C. due to…

This somewhat mirrors my situation (I’m a bit of both of you, more accurately): moved to a snowy conservative city in the Eastern time zone from New Orleans, mostly striking out in the new friends category (not for lack of trying), but certainly have bars which I feel welcome in that specific contest.

I love this beer. It’s my daily. They also have a mandarin version out that is kinda fantastic.

I should have prefaced that I’m a complete fucking softie when it comes to Christmas. I miss my family, I miss spending time with people close to me, and being alone in Seattle always feels twice as lonely as elsewhere. It’s the shitty weather.

Not sure if this counts, but I lived in Seattle working retail for two years, and wasn’t making enough to afford a plane ticket home. So for Christmas, I made plans for some friends to come to my place so we could all commiserate. I made dinner, this unnecessarily complex version of eggplant parm that calls for…

Let my grandma try my White Russian, she loved it and had me make her one as well. 7 White Russians later and grandma knocks over the Christmas tree and has to be taken home.

ABC Family is playing is 8 times a day currently.

Oh yeah - classic. She shakes Mrs. Shirley’s hand and then puts it right back on Clark’s junk.
