What Sarah Huckabee Goebbles isn’t happy with how her boss treats immigrants like they were Jews in Germany? She can find my sympathy between Fuck and Her.

First potato salad is awesome. My mom fills hers with mustard and boiled eggs and I’d eat if off a running car engine.

As a white person I can attest that none of this is wrong. Some of us have tried to own our flawed behavior but for the most part we as a color lack the self awareness and moral character needed to do so. I’m doing my best to do better. I grew up in small town Trump-supporting-bending…

I’m 8th generation American. My wife is the daughter of Filipino immigrants. Just to be safe whenever I travel with my half-Asian daughter I carry a copy of my family tree with documented census records and the passenger list from my ancestor’s 1685 arrival in the colonies. You just never know when the racist airline…

For me if I had to pick between my mother and my wife the only person who really would have lost would be me. No way to award one without hurting the other. My mother is an old school rustic midwestern cook who does things by sight and feel. She does comfort food better than maybe anyone. My wife is a wannabe chef who…

Well for a person who willing flings her own shit at people on tv and on the internet perhaps someone decided she needed some water to clean herself up.

I worked overnights for 10 years, sometimes up to 70 hour work weeks, and from that became hopelessly addicted to caffeine. I’ve scaled back a couple of times, at one point I was up to a pot and a half a day, but I don’t think I will ever quit. I’ve often thought of taking a week off of work (because I work in a…

Does it seem odd that Giuliani, a person who made his bones going after the mob, is now using mob lawyer tactics to defend someone who has probably spent decades under control of a different mob? Anything seem fishy and worth investigating there?

Fallout 4. It’s not that I didn’t like the game, my wife and I had our first baby and I just ran out of time to play a slow paced immersive game.

No Mountain Dew and Vodka? Well obviously your staff has a serious deficit in diversity. Clearly you are missing a hillbilly.

Your advice is solid but you might be going too easy on this guy. I’m a gamer too, or at least I was. I played every night after work and pretty much my entire weekends until I met my wife 4 years ago. I got married 2 years ago, and I had a kid last year, and you know how much I play now? Maybe 1 night a week, and…

From what I’ve read so far, you live in my neighborhood, watch a lot of Gilmore Girls, and enjoy great Chicago food. Are you sure you aren’t my wife writing under a pseudonym? Just kidding, anyway just wanted to say I enjoy your pieces very much.

A Eulogy:

Well I feel powerful now. I’ve been donating to Randy Bryce’s campaign in small increments since he was announced. Best $60 I ever spent.

We got so lucky with our 18 month old daughter. We read all the sleep books and went into the sufficient level of hysteria that those bring about how if our kid won’t sleep she won’t ever be smart or funny or interesting. So after making sure we had a regimented plan for healthy sleep for that moment she had to be…

No we love him. Our management is just a bunch of stupid assholes who don’t know a good thing when they have it.

This is exactly why Fox News exists. Create fear in white people and you create Republicans. I’ve watched that fear turn the rational people I grew up with into Trump supporting idiots. All it took was 25 years of Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

2,3,4,6, and 9 - check. Yesterday my 18 month old spent 15 minutes dancing in a circle in our living room saying, “BOOBIES!” Over and over again. We have no idea if she heard it from somewhere or what she may have actually been trying to say, but it was funny as hell.

That is the exact thing I said to my wife last night. She loves this show because she is a romantic and wants to believe this stuff is real. I hate this show because I’m a romantic but also a realist. I find it hard to believe anyone can go on a reality contest and find love, and the idea insults me. Therefore they…

Smoque is absolutely delicious. But as someone who grew up closer to St. Louis and Kansas City before moving to Chicago 10 years ago, I personally submit that bbq is the only thing Chicago does not do well (at least on the north side where most of us food dorks live.) Time and time again I’ve been told, “You have to…
