I wonder if Price is a Christian Scientist? It would be weird for a Christian Scientist to be an MD, but everything about this Cabinet is weird.

It is possible to not see color, under very specific, limited circumstances. It happened to me once.
Eons ago we used to have a little terrier who was not really friendly to anyone/anything but us. Except for small kids, for some reason. I learned this one day while walking her, and a toddler came out of nowhere and pulled on her ears. In my mind I was already planning my defense for when the idiot parent sued us for…
I think it’s different now. I spend a lot of time with my sister and her children and many years ago I asked her, “Do your kids know I’m gay?” She said, “Well, yes, but I never told them. They’re not stupid. Sometimes you show up with [my husband], sometimes alone, all they care about is seeing you. They know you…
My big black Lab mix is the same way. Kids love him and he loves them. I think the kids enjoy seeing something bigger than them that isn’t an adult, like a moving toy to talk to and pet and sometimes bang on, but my dog never seems to mind. On my dog’s part, I think he likes meeting a moving creature walking on two…
I think what swung the top-level Democrats into high gear to at least not oppose gay marriage (as both Obama and Hillary Clinton did) was observant Catholic VP Joe Biden’s comments on “Meet the Press” during the 2012 campaign. We gay people in marriages really have him to thank.
My favorite “never invite these assholes to a wedding ever again” story concerned me.
I think that was basically Hillary Clinton’s campaign strategy during the final days when even Robby Mook knew the game was up.
On the hundredth anniversary of the Russian Revolution, it’s nice to be reminded that they weren’t the only crumbling empire beset by greed, incompetence, and corruption, with a restive feudal populace in the firm embrace of a fantastical nationalistic past, helped along by a radically conservative religious caste,…
I remember all of this.
We used to have a German shepherd who would go crazy for ice cubes. This is actually a good snack for a dog, good for the teeth, 0 calories.
I’ve been coupled off/married to a guy not nearly as grotesque, not grotesque at all, as Donald Trump, for over twice as long as the mail-order Slovenia bride has been married to the Donald. She’s trolling him and all of us.
Do you live in Québec? I believe Québec has its own sort of sub-immigration process. If you come from the francophone world, no matter who you are or what you do, especially if you’re a refugee, Québec has a place for you. I think that’s admirable. I wish the US were still so welcoming.
If I were alone (as he seems to be) in a shelter on an island during a devastating hurricane I wouldn’t be looking at LOL cat memes, I’d try to get updates from my friends and family and news sources. I’m 99.99% sure that’s what he is doing, before the electricity runs out and his phone dies.
Are you in Nürnberg, by any chance? I went there once for a weekend around Christmas. A group of my German buddies were with me, we took the train, and later caroused at the Christkindlesmarkt, so much Glühwein, and we all had a good time. Over the course of the weekend I went alone (as the only American) to the toy…
Oh no, it can’t be sent to me. Maybe it’s a state secret, or it’s under a Trump embargo:
Ganz genau, that was it! I must order it, although I’m not sure the resellers on Amazon.de would ship it to me here in the States for less than the cost of the book itself. I have Amazon Prime so maybe I’ll get a break.
Speaking of Helmut Kohl, my Chancellor when I lived in Germany, have you ever heard of or maybe even read (or have!) his wife Hannelore’s charity cookbook? I think it claimed that it contained his favorite recipes, and she was the loyal Hausfrau who made them. There was one from each Bundesstaat. They were all insane.…
