I felt the same when Midler came up in this context. Are you kidding? What a laugh. Both have fought their way, carried their weight, and defined themselves for a decades. What are the odds that they weren’t abused, used, and mistreated at every junction. They carry the joy and the burden of being tough.

Until specifically black issues are in the first line of their agendas, (without apology, half hearted half way measures, and pleas for patience), and until those issues are represented with urgency and as priorities, white politicians are dangerous, just as Dr. King said.

Not convinced he knew? I’m not convinced he knows now.

Mr. Trump, The NYT is reporting you have a 105% approval rating in Wakanda. An unprecedented approval rating for any president at any time in any country. Do you think your popularity in Wakanda has to do with your high intelligence or the fact that you are always proven right on everything, no matter what it is?

Lemon thinks he’s cute when he’s mad so he does it sometimes.

I agree about manageable relatives getting sent to hell hospital, but the pendulum has swung too far back. Now its an economic/political/funding issue. Also agree about power of attorney, but it’s often an elder who is in trouble.

Many of the most seriously mentally ill are paranoid and won’t sign anything . Families are left to try to figure out a way to get help and doctors completely refuse to talk to them. To get medical control one option is to take your own family to court and declare them insane. Other option is the to figure out the…

Here’s a weird Woody Allen story:

Nightmare: you take a new date out to dinner and to a club and she does this on the dance floor.

A lot to like about Harris. More of a legal than a political background, but Obama had similar background with one more Senate term. Good speaker. Nice style. Great agenda. Seems pretty fearless.

And no more celebrity politicians. I want my privacy back. There is so much stuff I don’t want to know. Get somebody who has a private life and keeps it private. Tired of all the drama of every kind of celebrity. I’m interested in other things like dinner.

Funny how London would have a mass protest if he visited, but we can’t seem to manage one since the Women’s March a year ago.

Yeah, yr right. Anybody who didn’t know who fitted bras for the royals knows it now. Cheap.

Nobody likes their secrets written about and I don’t blame them. Would you like your massage therapist, or say, the lady who gives you a wax, to talk about it? Even if the “meant no harm”? America’s royalty highness, Jackie Kennedy, did the same thing when people who worked for her squealed on her.

And nobody said anything.

And apparently she doesn’t see herself as some great person who has in-depth insight about anything. Hence no comment.

For years I’ve wanted a national level high school debate team to moderate and judge the election debates. To assign penalties (loss of time, go stand in the corner) for infractions of the common rules of debate. To ring the buzzer for unsubstantiated rhetoric. For personal insults. For leaving your designated…

This is the “I think that” press secretary. Tells us Sarah Sanders opinion, as if we asked. The one who begins each sentence like she was raised in a barn: “Look”. (My mom could set her straight about that breach of etiquette.) The one who instead answering questions proclaims morality. Tells us what clean…

Why didn’t anyone in the room douse him with the water pitcher and slap his silly face? They just sat there? American heros.

It’s hilarious. Before I came out, I was frightened of gay men. They’d see through me, out me, and I knew for sure they lusted after me, every damn one of them. If one showed up at a party and I’d go to the other side of the room. Pathetic.
