Doesn’t the whole thing read like a “fuck you,” anyway? This being said:
I want to live in a world where Peggy Whitson is the biggest celebrity in America, which she deserves to be.
Fuck Ted Cruz spewing his bullshit about why he didn’t vote for Sandy Relief. That it was “full of pork”.
God, even beyond the current full menu of disasters, just thinking about the mold issues, ruined supplies, teardown and rebuild costs... It’s not like they can just empty out and dry the buildings. Those things will be unfit for human use and they’ll probably require specially outfitted crews to clean up/tear down…
I am for these five seconds wishing that I were still in college completing my BA in Classics, so we could horrify our old professors with YouTube clips of this.
Real classics is so much more fun than the perma-tanned, made-for-TV version! But yes, other than Roman men, they were the only ones allowed to wear this garment.
Hold up. That woman is not my FLOTUS.
“We are prepared to shelter people once the cities and county shelters reach capacity. Lakewood will be a value to the community in the aftermath of this storm in helping our fellow citizens rebuild their lives.”

Fucking white people.
Yeah, people keep saying the DNC and the less knowlegable claim that the DCCC or DSCC screwed up. No, people, we screwed up. We let the years and years of the right-wing campaing of discredit of Clinton influence us and you know why we let that happen? Because she is a woman.
But it would have showed that misogyny played a part.
“Maybe I have overlearned the lesson of staying calm, biting my tongue, digging my fingernails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while, determined to present a composed face to the world.”
We’ve all been there. You either put up with slimy creep making you feel uncomfortable and hate yourself for tolerating his bullshit later. Or, you make a scene and have everyone tell you to lighten up because having the rampant sexism in our society pointed out makes people uncomfortable. It isn’t polite to demand to…
Nothing says classy like an adulterer who claims to be a devout Catholic, becomes a third wife and then accepts a Vatican ambassadorship from a guy who was taped discussing his sexual assault hobby. Classy.
They clearly need to put out a style guide akin to Strunk & White, but probably without the Strunk, and waaay more White.
