I described him in another post as looking like Madam Tussaud’s caught fire voiced by a serial killer megachurch pastor. I stand by it.

Hey, it’s not like anything bad happened at the end of the 20s, so he’s all good.

Please feel free to come to my parties. Christmas at my house sounds a lot like this: “What shall we do today?” “Chinese food and a movie?” “Sold.”

Ted Cruz looks like there was a fire at Madam Tussaud’s and sounds like a serial killing megachurch pastor. It’s really disconcerting and I’m always uncomfortable when I hear it.

Almost exclusively when someone wishes me a Merry Christmas I will reply with “Happy Hanukkah.” I am so tired of the assumption that everyone is Christian. Not all of us are. And I get actual factual mad when people tell me to celebrate it anyway because it’s not a religious holiday. Yes it is! It’s supposedly about…

Holy fuck I thought “super conservative pastor gets cranky about gay people” but NOPE this was straight up stark raving madness. This is frightening. I was telling a friend of mine today that I am utterly frightened of the level of religious fervor we’re seeing from the Christian right. Throughout history this kind of…

I actually really liked that movie but in my defense I was taken to see it and did not pay real life monies for it. If I had paid a buck and change to rent it at Redbox I would have been perfectly satisfied. But also I am a giant history nerd with a particular interest in WWII.

“If you say yes to one you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty,” explained the Prime Minister to his Indian interviewer, with a mind to the Rosetta Stone, Elgin Marbles and the rest. “I am afraid to say, it is going to have to stay put.”

I am so. fucking. tired of religion trying to get its grubby hands into my healthcare. STOP TRYING TO WORSEN MY HEALTHCARE BECAUSE OF YOUR NON-SCIENCE. If your objection to birth control is that you’re pro-life then you don’t have a factual understanding of science. Birth control stops conception from ever happening.…

If I may add? *Ahem* “You and Thomas can go fuck yourselves too, Alito.”

I’ve noticed there’s a difference between performing because you’re in public and people kind of expect you to be gregarious vs. you are that way all the time because you’re fake as Hell. Maybe I’m just overly optimistic but I get the sense that Clinton is performing because she’s been conditioned to believe she has…

I’m starting to come to the conclusion that Hillary Clinton reminds me a lot of many of the women in my family. She’s very smart, driven, and direct. But partially because she’s a politician and partially because she’s a woman, she has to play up this super friendly Chill Hillary persona and it just comes off awkward…

I think it’s because they keep learning the wrong lesson and figuring that the further right they move the better their chances are as opposed to the further right they move the better their chances are in some very particular areas.

I used to work there not so many years ago and we were explicitly told that the ones that were pre-printed, like the mailers or the catalog coupons did technically expire but that we cashiers should accept them. Ones printed by the customer did have a hard and fast expiration.

I can safely say that a very small number of people think that between Rick Santorum and Rachel Maddow, Santorum came out the winner. And none of those people were, shall we say, Mensa candidates.

A+ GIF deployment. That whole “Republicans for Voldemort” thing is starting to sound a little too accurate.

Washington is lovely, but you are correct that Seattle and the surround areas are ungodly expensive. However if you go north into Snohomish County there are some nice places. Everett, for example, is pretty liberal because it’s on that I-5 corridor and is probably half the cost of Seattle. And only half an hour away…
