We’re raising our two in a faith-free environment. The 9 year old was given a choice between an Easter basket and a new Lego. He picked the Lego.

I love scotch. I don’t drink it often enough (because I rarely drink at all).

The Catholic high school I went to had 7 priests.

When does the Honor Committee have their say? Single sanction, people.

Thank you.

I found it! Bunnya Bernadinae.

Basically I’m the outreach liaison between the party and my little neighborhood (everyone who votes where I vote) if we need volunteers, or get out the vote efforts, or event planning, etc. More importantly for the moment, it means I’ll be the neighborhood’s delegate to the county convention, where we’ll pick…

If you follow through on the sleeping-next-to-cat part, I recommend a couch or bed. My neck hurts.

I got up early, got slightly dressed up, and went to my county Democratic Party precinct meeting. I ended up getting appointed, through no fault of my own, a local precinct chairperson.

I’ve loved every Nissan product I’ve ever had and never had even a single issue with any of them. Currently 80K+ into a several year old Infiniti and it still seems new.

Dogs run away all the time. This one just happened to accidentally run right into your car, hypothetically.

Wahoowa. Did Tobey do meth before the game tonight or something?

Rescue mutt! There are so many gently used dogs here in the Carolinas — the rescues actually take them by the truckload up to the NY area for them to find homes. So many great doggies around here, of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Good luck only saying yes to one! (I foster failed a wonderful shepherdy brown dog…

According to the Aramaic-English dictionary I found online, Jesus’ asshole thus would have had a really weird squiggly scribble inscribed on it. It’s pronounced LMaP’QaNeA, which I think would make a really excellent name for a cat.

Once upon a time, in a trashy Western town, I co-hosted a nighttime radio program on a popular FM rock station. Most of our jokes and bits were about how incredibly ignorant and stupid our listenership was, written in a way that was highbrow yet raunchy.

I once left the comfort of my uncomfortable NYC apartment, barreling down 4 flights of stairs, simply to satisfy my need for a slice of pizza. I could barely squeeze out of the door of my apartment building past a pretty gross looking Mr. Noth dry-humping some trollop. I was not distracted by the pair of them affixing…

As an historian, and a person who is the product of teachers like yourself, all I can say is thank you.

Yep. Those counties of Virginia decided they wanted no part of secession, so they just plain split off. Kentucky’s and Missouri’s elected government stayed loyal, though the Confederates had a government and claimed each of them too. Of course, Maryland stayed in the Union and was mostly pro-CSA, so go figure.

The thing no Southerner would ever like to admit: just as a third or more of colonists stayed loyal to the Crown, then tried to blend in after the Revolution, so too did a sizable percentage of Southerners remain loyal to the Union, including in places like the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky, northern Alabama, and…
