Costa Rica is an amazing country and I encourage everyone to visit it! Incredibly beautiful locations and the people are just wonderfully nice; it’s also one of the only countries in the world without a standing army and is a nice bastion of stability in Latin America.

And Kentucky teachers are protesting at the State Capital today! My mom, a retired teacher, is among them.

GOOD. I teach in a right-to-work state where the largest teachers’ organization proudly bills itself as “not a union!”, so most of us have given up on having any type of collective power. Oklahoma is also RTW. I don’t know the strength of their NEA and/or AFT affiliates, but they’re giving me hope that power is indeed

What is with wealthy women acting like decorating their home is some big accomplishment? Big deal, you decorated your own house the way you like it, that is not contributing to society or even worthwhile work. It’s self serving, your are just surrounding yourself with things you like - who cares!

Does she want some sort of medal for choosing to decorate her own house herself? Wow. I understand that most people in her income bracket hire interior designers, but if *this* is the best anecdote she can come up with to show people how “down to earth” she is, that actually lowers my opinion of her even more.

What do you mean? I often invite my spouse to my office so people can take our picture as we reload paper into the copy machine.

LOL I was thinking the same thing- OH THAT MUST BE SO HARD FOR YOU, UBERING BACK AND FORTH!

This is the same question I had w/r/t Mrs. Carson making the furniture decisions about HUD and Mrs. Pompeo keeping an office at CIA.

“I did it myself. I spent the days mostly in this exact outfit—this coat, these Ugg boots, leggings, no makeup, my hair tied up in a bun, Ubering back and forth between the hotel and the house, measuring.”

“Where’s my hubsies?”

Team giant meteor.

The money picture: He’s obviously at his workplace, what is she doing there? Seriously, none of my family members hang around my workplace. The closest any of them have come is to wait for me in the lobby. It’s very strange for anyone to have family around while working.

“She would never be invited to Katharine Graham’s parties,” the source said.

I never realized Pence was from Columbus, IN. I lived there very briefly in my late teens. He would have been mid-20's. Wonder if we ever crossed paths. I mean, I don’t recall ever feeling a cold shiver down my spine from being in the presence of evil while I was there...

Yay a feel good story!

If for no other reason than “just as worse as” is incoherent and so they’re clearly in need of a steadying slap in the face. 

So at what point does the government collapse entirely? Between the people who are incompetent at their jobs, the positions left unfilled, the people who retire/exit, and the people who are outright hating everything right now, who will keep the country working.

I always look forward to the inevitable abuse Jezebel writers give us for ending up with a stupid final two (I’m being completely sincere). Or more accurately: I always look forward to the abuse they give the dumb-dumbs who picked the stupid and boring choices! Because I always pick the right ones!

Great episode! This makes me think, what if I don’t WANT to be streamed?

Until your kid can use knife and fork and sit quietly through a meal, they stay at home.
