THIS. Oh, depression is a bitch. As is his loyal bro, Anxiety. Hanging out with you in the middle of the night, saying “You know what would be fun? If we went through EVERY THING YOU’VE EVER DONE WRONG IN YOUR LIFE and talk about why it means you’ll become an unloved bag lady!” Also, spiders.

...and yet, as the years go by, i keep coming back to this little bit of truth:

Never underestimate the effect of being wanted. If he/she loves you, it’s easy to throw the checklist out the window. At least, it can work that way.

In (life) (I) care more about what’s wrong with (me) than what’s right. Thank you very much severe depression. I would hate you so much but really, you have been such a loyal and constant companion. But I do need a break every now and again so I am going to swallow this zanax and go to sleep. Don’t be mad!! You’re…

Bullshit. Most of the morons who like Trump are long asleep by now. Lorne Michaels is an utter piece of shit for this shameless attempt to gather ratings for his shitshow so he can keep getting a table at Rao’s and to feel like he still matters.

It didn’t exist at all when I was in high school and I am profoundly grateful for that.

In high school, I was friends with an exchange student from Germany, and the start of Christmas activities in early November truly baffled her (at the time it didn’t bother me). I asked her how she celebrated Christmas.

Basically, anybody who wants to be President should be disqualified. (I admit, I’m not sure how that would work).

GHW Bush always struck me as one of the last sane Republicans. Hell, the guy called Reagan out on the fact that trickle down economics was bullshit (before selling out for the VP slot, of course).

All the fucking stars for use of “jebroni”. I’ve been wanting to bring it back.

Agreed. Don’t tune in to NBC to “ironically” watch it, or just to “hate watch” the “train wreck.” Don’t watch clips on Hulu or nbc.com on Sunday or Monday. Total radio silence on criticism. NBC wants viewers and Trump wants attention, let’s not feed the monsters.

Nobody watch it. Don’t give him ratings. Want to see the train wreck then bit torrent it.

Unless you sell them cut-down heroin, what could possibly be ignoble about being in a helping profession? This is a thing I learned at that juncture: Any moment when you are helpful to somebody, or brave and kind yourself, could be the pivot upon which the future of the whole planet turns. You can never know what that…

The recess schedule doesn’t really make sense anymore, which is why some people want to change it. I have definitely heard some senators complain that the legislative calendar doesn’t make a lot of sense anymore and needs to change. But you have to remember that 1. they aren’t on vacation for two months, 2. those are…

If I’m being completely honest, I would settle for working all year for half that salary

I would care less about their calendar if they didn’t waste taxpayer money on Benghazi and PP witch trials. Like if they ACTUALLY got stuff done.

Ah, Sqarr. This is a Good Point. Maybe with this Congress in particular, they’d be better off working, like, 3 weeks, and we should be thankful that they cut so much out of the calendar.

I think you’ll find the average American - in the new economy - may have ZERO vacation, sick days or paid leave. At least that’s the position I find myself in after 40 years in the labor market. In a skilled profession (broadcasting). And with two jobs. Executive Assistant (real estate) and part time broadcaster. And…

Twenty six weeks of desperately trying to fuck you over.

I wouldn’t care if they got 51 weeks a year off if they actually were productive and got the necessary shit done. Instead they waste time on meaningless nonsense, like defunding Planned Parenthood and Obamacare.
