counting on it

Scalia was less than a month away from 80. Now I’m saying this as someone who’s 65, but no matter how you slice it, 80 is old. He was also overweight right where you really don’t want to be overweight when it comes to heart issues. He was known to have health problems and his doctor refused to operate on him because,…

They are also implying that somehow Obama hired an assassin competent enough to kill a sitting Supreme Court Justice without anyone at the lodge being the wiser, but incompetent enough that they suffocated him and left the evidence for everyone to see.

Heck, I sometimes sleep with a pillow ON my head, if, for example, I’m trying to nap while it’s still light out.

I love how a pillow on the head is apparently the equivalent of, like, a smashed window and muddy footprints, plus a bloody dagger thrown in the bushes. Have none of these people ever woken up with the pillow not exactly where it was the night before?

Anyone who’s seen what an autopsy does to someone’s body will quickly be able to say why so many people forego them.

It is not like he was almost 80 or anything like that. He probably had a good 40 years left.

Great lede.

He was in Memphis to support a union strike too...

I saw on Twitter someone posted (paraphrased), “saying ‘save the rainforests’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘fuck all other forests,’” which I appreciated as an analogy for all this “all lives matter” nonsense.

And at the time of his death MLK wanted to introduce a minimum income for all Americans.

If MLK was alive today, he would be the face of the TEA Party!

“All lives matter” is the smarmiest, most disingenuous erasure of a movement that malicious and clueless white people could have come up with. To apply this to Dr. King, his work, or his life is almost violent in its untruth. Fuck this parade of assholes in the ear.

These two are getting divorced because he’s a narcissist and she is no longer the trophy he married.

Or any of these dudes who do the 'trophy wife' crap. Yes, I'm looking at you, my lovely niece. You are going to get royally screwed. He's a Big Shit banker who loves looking at his reflection at the gym - one of those guys who stands really tall with his pelvis thrust forward. Sorry/not sorry:(

Yep. Cindymoo has stuck by me, but she’s known that I’m sick since we were teenagers. It’s a testament to her commitment to me that she hasn’t cut and run when shit has gotten really bad.

I think a lifetime of cat ownership has well prepared me for an ill spouse:

It's important to see how a spouse will handle one becoming ill. That is a big test.

a colleague of mine is going through his FOURTH divorce. another one has 5 kids by 3 wives, and he’s not even 45 yet. the national head of our department is on his third, and doesn’t really hide his proclivity of hanging out with prostitutes.
