Because she can get elected. De Leon most likely would not be elected. Would you rather have a Republican in that seat? Purity tests are quite harmful in this year’s midterms.

They gave him a Yoda bobblehead doll. Because as an elder, and a mentor, his nickname was Yoda. Also Enzo the Baker because of the way he used to dress. And the coolest part of all was that the luncheon was held in the very same room in which we were married 14 years ago. Bookends.... And now we’re off to Key West…

It’s going to take that long for me to parse through it. It was a headscratcher, though an arresting one.

It was. I have a photograph. We all still laugh about it two years later while she grows ever more preturnaturally smart.

I have a funny kid story. My second cousin, who was 16 months old at the time and had just learned to walk (run), was with us all for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. The hostess kindly agreed to let us bring our little Maltese dog, since it’s really hard to find a pet sitter for Thanksgiving. So, we brought Nicky,…

Raffiqi’s! Chicken and lamb with onions and peas over rice, heavy on the white sauce.

I literally JUST saw this on my cable On-Demand. It was interesting, but I was pretty confused by the end. Figured it all had to be an internal head-dialog thing.

99% of the world is not married to POTUS, who is also one of the worst men ever.

Perhaps your daughter can apply for financial aid or go to a community college for a year or two. I have a cousin whose despicable ex cut his daughter off at age 18, saying she was too stupid to go to college. She went to community college, got some financial aid, and is now working toward her doctorate in child…

My husband is retiring from his job on Monday. On Friday, his former and current colleagues hosted a luncheon in his honor. 82 people showed up in a room that barely held that many. He deserves every last tribute. And there were many. It was a wonderful day.

We can celebrate on behalf of the women Cosby harmed. There will be many other celebrations in the near future. If Cosby went down, then it’s certain that others will.

The Kardashians are going to use Kanye’s complete mental breakdown as a plot line for their TV show. They won’t stop him from jumping off sanity cliff.

He’ll probably take it out on her, though.

What do you expect? Her husband is publisher of The Federalist, a slimy right-wing rag that won’t divulge who funds it.

Oh you’re just awful.

That totally pissed me off, as well as her comments on New Orleans after Katrina. On a personal level, I feel awful for her family and especially for her husband, who has lost his beloved partner of 73 years. Not everything is political. Please have some respect for the Bush family as human beings. Because, despite…

That’s terrible. Politics aside, this woman leaves behind an elderly, frail husband she’d been with since she was 16 years old. They were married for 73 years. On a personal level, I feel real grief for former POTUS, George H.W. Bush, who has to navigate the remainder of his life without his partner. I can’t imagine…

Well, if he doesn’t want to spend decades in prison, he’ll flip.

The change in the GOP platform is a BFD. Count on it.

It’s really easy to travel throughout the EU without having your passport stamped after you’ve arrived at your original destination. There are no passport checks on trains, for example.
