My mom had two or three of these books - I Hate To Cook, The I Hate To Cook Almanac, and I Hate To Housekeep. Our house showed it, too.

Another dumb negotiating tactic was him basically saying all these other countries got great deals where they took advantage of us, and he’s going to renegotiate them so that we’re the winners...implying that the other county is going to be the loser. Even if that were true, you’re China or Mexico, why would you agree…

If you are referring to a particular instance captured on video a while back, I can understand we have a bit of a reputation. But here’s the thing, how are a bunch of Canadians coming down to buy milk being terrible and sad and unfair (Trump does have a way with words) to the Wisconsin dairy farmers? I’m not saying…

I think the truly remarkable thing is that it NEVER WORKED for them and it immediately worked for the democrats, who frankly didn’t even have to threaten it terribly hard or terribly explicitly.

I think it feeds into this fetish for being a strong man that his supporters buy into. People like to imagine they can totally dominate someone else. That’s not how life typically works unless you’re a total asshole, in business or personal relationships.

I like how her being reasonably prepared like every other candidate in the last 30 years was an “unfair advantage.” She could just never win with those people.

As a Midwest raised American, I fully support Canada being assholes to Wisconsin dairy farmers, and any other of its citizens as well.

Ooh, boy oh boy, now THAT is some super-secret negotiating wisdom, there! “Always start high”? Stop the presses, man! Did he learn this masterful technique from haggling with a 10-year-old girl at a flea market?

LOL, he acted like it was some great wisdom? Demanding more than what you’re actually aiming for, so that the other party “settles” for giving you what you really want, is an elementary “no, durr” of negotiating. That’s just negotiating 101. I did this when I played up an offer I got from a less desirable job (that I…

totally. And the way he prefaces it with “I’m going to say it”. Like, “I know everyone is thinking/has thought this.”

What the hell, New Hampshire. Seriously, what the hell. You voted for this asshole?

The GOP went full retard, and you never go full retard. They seem to have forgotten that they used the threat of a shutdown EVERY SINGLE YEAR to try to get their way.

I always think this on death penalty articles and I think it’s applicable here. Limits on the ways that we punish “bad” guys are not for the sake of the bad guys. They are for the sake of the people doling out the punishment.

It’s not about the crimes this man committed.

I don’t a flying fuck what the man did that landed him in jail--for the purposes of my current outrage I don’t care about whether he should have been there in the first place--no one should die of thirst in this country, MUCH LESS while in the custody of a law enforcement agency. Full. Fucking. Stop.

The reason no one mentions the dead man’s crimes is that they are irrelevant to the way he was treated while in custody. 

Clarke is a POS who needs to lose his job and never hold one in law enforcement again.

Far and above, the easiest way to avoid driving under the influence in Iowa is to simply never go to Iowa.

Of course every other human must react the exact same way you do in situations or they are clearly wrong.

This all sounds great in theory, but people who are chronically late (and I am one of them) are 1) often a mix of these different things; and 2) living a relatively chaotic lifestyle where the idea of carefully planning things out in advance is a major transition, not just a handy tip. People who are frequently late…
