I just went through the citizenship process over the past year. It is actually not difficult. Getting a green card can be, but the jump from green card to citizenship is biometrics, background check, interview, and ceremony. You have to do a little studying for the interview, but it is not difficult. The turnaround…

“The merest accident of microgeography had meant that the first man to hear the voice of Om, and who gave Om his view of humans, was a shepherd and not a goatherd. They have quite different ways of looking at the world, and the whole of history might have been different. For sheep are stupid, and have to be driven.…

This isn’t really a compromise. Too much bending for this for it to be a compromise.

It’s even better than all that. Here’s the announcement for the plan of the new embassy:

That doesn’t carry. All you’re saying is that she has a lot of supporters and name recognition, like that’s a negative. You seem way more interested in dissing on Bernie after the fact than having a productive discussion.

What am I missing here? You saying Nina Turner’s no good because she stumped for Sanders? And what does Rosario Dawson have to do with any of this?

The little clap at the end is the best part.

So that “Allah” in your username is just a typo?

Fuck that. I’m a proponent of reclaiming my time.

Dear Justin...

I remember the days before online banking. As the only boy of 5 kids, I would go with my working/college student mother to cash her paycheck and pay bills. Even as an 11 year old I knew exactly how much money she (didn’t) had at any given time. You got me a little in the feels there, Mike.

I read your column ‘religiously’. I don’t often agree with you, but the story you told here is so important that I had to comment on it. Your story about you mother reminds me of ‘The Widow’s two mites’ from Luke 21: 1-4. And so often that story gets used by a charlatan from the pulpit trying to squeeze the last dime…

Fogerty wrote it, and Creedence did it better. Tina Turner’s version is too fucking busy.

Who?

When he can’t help but chuckling (starts around 0:38 or so in) before he says “so he can really get back to focusing on the issues that matter” is pure gold. Like he knows that has to the most laughable idea of all time that he can’t even contain himself, the ever-cool and collected President.

51% is still not exactly great....just saying. It’s still complete shite and embarrassing.

Look, the WaPo will put “shithole” in 72-point Century Oldstyle* on its front page now, thanks to 45. You can say anything you want!

It’s hilarious. Before I came out, I was frightened of gay men. They’d see through me, out me, and I knew for sure they lusted after me, every damn one of them. If one showed up at a party and I’d go to the other side of the room. Pathetic.

First jobs are always memorable.
