Seriously - I need to send you a bottle of your favorite beverage and some fabulous carbs and some puppy cuddles or something.

I don’t know if it helps, but here are some cute dogs and baked goods.

I missed this WTFuckery yesterday.

Yeah, I don’t know why I did it, honestly. I should have known better.

They’re not available anymore anyway. She put those out there after the first time McCain/Burr interfered with her with Rod Rosenstein. She was told by Burr - after she’d been interrupted by McCain first -the witness needed to be allowed the “courtesy” to answer the question. A question she specified twice should…

Yes, let’s demand the 20-year old from a wealthy family give up her career prospects because he’s feeling insecure about his own career in the face of the success of his soon-to-be father-in-law (and, let’s face it, the more technical…

I’m trying to decide if I want to go read those e-mails or if reading all the comment boards on the Strib and Pioneer Press on Philando Castile stories has left me depressed enough for the day.
