Should be noted that Mary Dye was appointed to her seat in May 2015 after her predecessor resigned after a scandal of some sort. If she’s planning on running for reelection, it’ll clearly be a campaign to watch.

Yeah, I’d like to see some prosecutions for “offical misconduct”.

Yeah, resenting a “servant’s entrance” and complaining about the fact that the owners won’t make repairs on the “poor side” is class warfare.

The Khmer Rouge used kids this age and younger as soldiers and executioners. ISIS is doing the same thing today. I’m not going to try to guess what these kids have been exposed to, and what else is going on, but you can’t assume that kids won’t do horrible shit, especially in a group.

That’s why (in general) I think…

Isn’t there a looming coffee shortage? That makes this seem like a terrible idea. Can’t get behind diverting beans away from coffee, unless they’re garbage to begin with.

Also, right now my coffee intake (black) is essentially a zero-calorie exercise - not going to give that up!

Let’s remember - he’s the weakest (constitutionally) governor in the country. It’s barely a “real” job, so yeah, he has tons of time on his hands. He's not even responsible for proposing a budget.

I remember at the time that the Japanese were referring to this sort of public display/embarrasment as Bushu-suru

That’s likely a “If this flag offends you / study American History” t-shirt. Just so you know what level of jackass you’re seeing here.

Poor Mrs. Betty Teal. Every time I hear Bolton mentioned (which does happen from time to time), I think of this sketch and smile. It’s been more than thirty years since I first saw it, and this is still one of my favorites.

They were great up until the OJ trial. That really was the end.

I’d suggest “Van Faux”, but maybe that works better to the ear than in print.

Anyway, we’ve got some places around here that do the whole party wine/art - it’s generally art/ceramics places that are doing “real” classes for kids and adults as well, and this is a way of generating some revenue in the evenings. Seems…

I’m ok with that, as long as there’s poison on both knives.

I’d tip the waiter $500 to have the sickest staff person in the restaurant (since their employers aren’t required to provide paid sick days because of assholes like Cruz) handle his food.

I’d like to see Hunter College High use the money to add a required ethics class that every student has to take.

I suspect many of these Republicans would also be OK with a post-bombing installed government handing lucrative oil contracts over to Dinoco.

I’ve still got mine - including the Death Star, the original Falcon, etc. They’re all pretty beat up. So I’ve let my kids play with them and they got a lot of enjoyment out of them.

I’d agree - the ONLY way I’d give them any benefit of the doubt is if she (or an assistant or household manager) has a habit of scheduling visits from various services/contractors/whatever, not always notifying the security staff, and then throwing a shitfit if the person or persons get delayed by security. I’m also…

I’ve been waiting for this. I was maybe hoping for something a little more fitting (perhaps a long, painful, incurable, lingering illness only manageable by use of a ruinously expensive drug), but this just fine. Christmas came early.

In some ways, if the secure a conviction, seeing this turd getting judged by society…

And really, they can’t even martyr themselves properly. It’s so lame. Fauxtyrs. Flayed, burned, mauled or hung martyrs of bygone times are rolling their eyes from beyond at the lame attempts to wear the cloak of martyrdom over this issue.

Geez, that’s really, really, really adorable. I have to go spend a few minutes looking at some of Diane Arbus’ photography now.
