One of my favorite movies of all time! But Shirley McClaine’s character is hardly subtle.

I rent (b/c London and ain’t no way I’ll ever afford the down payment on anything in this market), and my landlady is the architect of my flat. It’s basically a cube (downstairs is another studio flat), and my place is the entry way, leading into the living room, and directly off the living room is a sizeable…

Welcome to my world, and I do have the property tax issue to face. They keep talking about high tax states like NY, NJ and CA, but ignore us small, red states that tax the fuck out of us cause we only have 2 cities that support the entire state. NE sucks balls when it comes to taxes.

I mean, even if for some reason you absolutely despise poor people and minorities, does that really mean you are willing to destroy your own country and your life along with it? And if so, shouldn’t you be institutionalized?

I get why the Republicans are pushing it. It’s the billionaires themselves that I’m criticizing here. To be that greedy and that cruel in a way that doesn’t even really have any net positive effect on their own lives? That is literally some kind of insanity.

It’s as simple as this:

I will never understand the short term thinking of anyone who supports these ridiculous tax proposals that funnel even more money to the rich.

Some good news on the Obamacare front: despite Trump’s immoral and probably illegal attempts to do everything possible to discourage enrollment, “A record number of people signed up for ObamaCare in the first few days of open enrollment this year compared to the same period in previous years, several sources close to…

How does the establishment expect to bomb foreigners to smithereens if we don’t have eggheads to engineer new weapons?

War on Science?

From the news I’ve been reading, my taxes will likely go up under this plan. Between eliminating the mortgage interest deduction (about to buy a house in one of the most expensive and competitive markets in the country), eliminating adoption tax credits (wife and I are looking to grow our family in the next year),…

Who the hell needs more of these egg-heads running around making trouble with all their pesky “facts” and such? “Science” is just libtard code for socialist ideology that makes me feel bad for doing fun, American things like raping the environment. (Like she wasn’t asking for it.) Once the coal mines are open again,…

I’m astonished not only by how badly Republicans are mismanaging this tax cut thing, but also astonished that they are mismanaging it in nearly EXACTLY THE SAME WAY they mismanaged Obamacare repeal.

I really do wish bar associations and ethics groups would do something about completely ridiculous cease and desist letters. Half the time they have no real legal basis and are simply meant to intimidate and shut up criticism by people who can’t afford legal representation themselves.

‘some asshole I have to work with’

“My visit to Japan and friendship with PM Abe will yield many benefits, for our great Country. Massive military & energy orders happening+++!”

One thing that I don’t think gets enough attention is how much this tax plan will fuck over graduate students

Wait, is that who this is? The guy who wanted to be held up like a saint for not cheating on his wife?

Ooooh, tell me about your class. Who do you teach about?

You know, I’m optimistic about Lady Bird’s chances.
