“When I was looking at earth from the window of the International Space Station (where I was invited by the king of earth), I could see the sun glinting off the top of Robert Trent Jr.’s balding head like golden beacon. I could also see his mom, because she’s so big that when she sits around the house, she sits AROUND…

“The Aztek heavy set woman at the end of the bar scores highest or second highest in every APEAL component measure personality test except exterior styling.”

Alternative headline:

Just so this doesn’t get lost in the obligatory: Obama had the worst, most aggressive deportation record of any president in history. Any “saving” he ever did was PR so people can continue to pretend that Democrats give a shit about immigrants.

McCain’s spokesperson just released a statement saying that “the Senator and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.”

There is no ‘official’ training for MANY so-called ‘service animals’ as you can get ‘accreditation’ off a web site for a fee - and the selfish bastards can take their foo foo rat dog, pig, duck, etc anywhere....

People who actually need and deserve a service / emotional support animal should be respected with a SINGLE…

I teach high school, and some students have made passes at me in various ways (everything from light flirting to confessing their love). I always shut it down quickly and firmly. I can’t even imagine flirting back, and I certainly can’t imagine actually dating one of them. That’s unfathomable to me. They are kids. I…

I taught a fancy prep school where more than one case of this occurred. I (young and single then!) remember discussing it with a midthirties married colleague and telling her I just didn’t get it, and she said, “Oh, I’ve never been tempted to do it, but I get it.” Her theory was that very young, newly married women…

If you find yourself trying to block someone from recording a person being choked to death, you’re probably one of the bad guys.

I would *love* to have a neighbor like you - honestly, just having someone say “hey, let me know if this is a problem, I don’t have parties often” would be enough to not only ensure I didn’t call the cops, but that I wouldn’t even be irritated with the noise. You’re a gem, and your neighbor is a moron.

Maybe we talk to the Obama girls about how they felt about pics of their father being hung

Ted’s career consisted entirely of living in the Fox News and right wing nutjobbery ecosystem already

Yes, but the protests of utter innocence and the claims of “it’s OK to demonize the right because they are demons” is part of the problem and makes it even more difficult to have any kind of meaningful dialogue.

That money didn’t get put in a fireplace and lit on fire. It went to the salaries of the people who worked on the decades of research and projects that contributed to today’s successful test. So it’s not a free college handout but rather a science and tech jobs program.

Never woulda happened in his Buick

As I have written before, my daughter died when she was five in 2011, two months after being diagnosed with an inoperable and malignant brain tumor. There is no cure for her type of tumor - DIPG - and current treatments do little more than extend life for a few months.

Sorry, just had to add this photo... of Jermaine dressed like ... a Nazi I guess?... while Jackie, Marlon and Randy are apparently going to play Rollerball.

So we’re just gonna ignore the Nutcracker uniform he’s wearing?

I think what the snap really means is that someone has just spent their morning driving an hour to the airport, getting anally probed by security, a few hours on a stinking, crowded loud plane followed by a hassle at the rental car place and another drive to the hotel while they schlep their luggage around and finally…
