I am with you. I am a huge history nerd. Lately I’ve been on a big Plantagenet/Tudor kick and cannot get enough of all the scholarly work that’s been done on those folks in the past 10+ years (since I wrote my thesis on Mary I). I’ve also had an ongoing love affair with the American Civil War for 25 years now. That…

I was telling my husband about this last night and I kept thinking of Lisa Kudrow as Michelle: “I just know I could sell the shit out of this stuff.”

Same guy who supplies the toes?

No worries! I try to purposely leave out gender (though mine probably isn’t hard to find based on other comments I’ve made) because I’d be pretty identifiable.

Yes, exactly. Was just listening to an interview with his supporters where they all said they liked him because he says whatever he wants and doesn’t pull punches.

I forget how I described it to someone a few weeks ago, but I vacillate between tepid belief-ish and agnosticism. I am actually not the only clergy spouse I know who is like this. Some things that help: 1) I grew up Episcopalian, so I understand the church, its history, beliefs, liturgy, etc (actually probably know…

So I’m married to a priest (Episcopal, so not sure it counts). I’m not very religious, but some things you learn from being around it all the time and I’m around it all the time and have a ton of ordained friends. I just texted my spouse about this because I was like, 99.9% sure that Jesus didn’t have a list of sins…

Don’t leave out those smug Canadians saying “I’m so sore-ry, eh.”

We watched the episode with Tina’s party last night and had to pause it because we were laughing too hard, literally gasping, to hear what was being said.

How do you bone during Bob’s Burgers? I’d be afraid I’d be laughing too hard to pay attention to the boning. “I HATE CANADA!” “ENOUGH WITH THE TALK ABOUT CANADA!”

Cool. Just don’t get on the new sofa what the hell are you doing? WHY ARE YOU ON THE FURNITURE WHEN I CAN CLEARLY SEE YOU???

I share the desire for schaudenfreude, but am afraid it’d only end in frustration, a la David Vitter.

Mine too. I truly wonder if anyone but a woman would understand this feeling.

Sounds like someone’s just being a little selfish and immature that they didn’t have a seaplane at their wedding. Amirite?

Commando, no less!

So the source was obviously not Sandra Bullock’s new boyfriend, right?

I am shocked SHOCKED that something like this came out of the school that was the very last bastion of segregated Greek life.

I would be really interested to see what she comes up with if that’s the case. As long as it’s not as the conservative voice. Just regular reporting.

I have always said something like this. I have two children and when I was pregnant with my second there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that if my child were in danger and saving her meant losing the pregnancy I wouldn’t hesitate. Because one was something I didn’t yet know and the other was my baby who was living,…

Just IME it is not. I know a woman who’s Catholic and has refused for years to give her sons certain vaccinations because they were derived from aborted fetal cells from the 60s. To be clear, the Catholic Church has weighed in that the benefits of the vaccines outweigh the moral issue of their derivation from aborted…
