He wanted to be Henry Higgins to her Eliza Doolittle: the mentor who shaped the young woman. 

“I can’t be racist—we have Muslims in my family!”

Also, young players don’t have much choice in where they play. You get drafted by the Braves or the Indians, or traded there, and that’s where you play. 

The alternate logo is awesome. Unfortunately the team still has an alleged rapist as their star, so fuck them regardless. 

This is what happens when people don’t vote, or they vote for Jill Stein because both parties are the same and bringing up the composition of the Supreme Court is neoliberal blackmail. 

I know, right? I got $40k in student loans waiting for me after I graduate in May; where’s my anonymous benefactor? I’ve never sexually assaulted or imprisoned anyone. 

Like Schubert, Becerra failed to note that the police did not identify themselves when they yelled at Clark to put his hands up.

Wait, I thought Hillary wrote, passed, and signed that bill all on her own despite not holding any elected office at the time?

That would have to be a really big barrel, even if you just go with the starting nine. 

McCarty’s my state rep. I wrote to him today to let him know I want him to keep pushing for AB392; need to figure out what else I can do.

My wife and I wanted sushi tonight, so we went to the Mikuni at Arden Fair Mall, only to learn that the entire mall was closed today:

I had no idea! I knew he’d lost in a landslide, but not about him being an asshole. Sigh. 

Near as I can figure it’s because people don’t care about local races. It’s infuriating. 

I get that, but it still infuriates me that she had to apologize to a birther-spouting shitheel like Meadows for telling the truth.

I remember going to that McDonald’s after prom. It was well before Kelly was a thing since I am an old, but still, yuck, especially since I totally thought I was mature and adult at 17. (Narrator: She wasn’t.)

I love tuxes! Our older cat, Ogdred K. Weary (the K is for Kitteh) is a tux. He’s adorable, even if he doesn’t quite understand that at 10 he’s too big to perch on our boobs like he did when he was a kitten.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that wasn’t part of the thrill for him. Dude could have someone who chose to be there come to his hotel room, but that woman would have agency, and he wouldn’t have all the power. 

If Aldis Hodge is in this, I may have to drag my ass to the theater. I’ve loved him since Leverage. 

I suspect he’s talking about abortion, and the “class of people” is fetuses, or “unborn babies we pretend to care about right up until they’re born, at which point fuck them.”

The public option died in the Senate because Joe Lieberman flat-out said he would not vote for the ACA if that was included.
