A ticket in New England is "a piece of work." I wasn't suggesting that he saw himself as misquoted in this instance, merely pointing out that in the past, he has made lots of other outrageous remarks and assertions.

Your poor mom. That's awful.

Um, who besides me remembers when he said he was misquoted...in his own autobiography? He's what they call in New England "a ticket."

The name "Keegan" is like that for boys! I have yet to know a baby/child Keegan to whom some bad shit does not happen.

I, too, am a name nerd, but never thought to call it that before! Thanks!

Unpack and stay. That's an order.

I live in Vermont, and people are freaking out about the lack of snow. Fuck 'em. Driving is easy, I'm not having to slog through several feet of what feels like heavy wet sand to get to the barn, and frankly, it (snow, winter, etc) will get here. And one warm winter does not an apocalypse make.

Truth. I live in Vermont, where edentulousness among the young is quite common, and the "holy shit, I look great!" moment is one with which I am familiar. Never take fluoridation and parents who made you brush your teeth for granted

That was just mean. Now I am all freaked out on stress-cortisol.

Oh, my god. I am the same age as this guy.

That job was almost twenty years ago, but I specifically remember a white teenage girl who told me that she'd prefer to be out front protesting *against* the very clinic she was in, but circumstance had made it so that she *had* to have an abortion. I told her (laughingly) that if I ever saw her outside the clinic,…

Yep. I don't know that I heard it a lot of times, but I definitely heard it more than once. It was all I could do to keep from screaming.

Point taken. I just know that they sell underpants that cost double digits for a single pair. Therefore, in my mind, high end.

Not just politicians like to think of themselves as exceptions. When I worked in an abortion clinic, I encountered more than one woman who was there to get unimpregnated who told me of her opposition to abortion FOR OTHER PEOPLE, but in her case, well, it was different (read: "Because it is ME!!!"). Face palm moment…

*splutter*

I stopped watching Glee when it turned into the musical version of porn: no plot, all fucking (or, in this case, singing).

Nordstrom is pretty high end.

I'm coming with you if you get banned. That is awesome.

Holy shitasaurus rex, that is a scary fucking picture. I hate her a lot, but I usually think she looks gorgeous in pictures. Ditto Michelle Bachmann.

I agree that this music conjures up swinging tassels and giant feather fans. Who knew that's what REALLY went on at hockey games.
