Here’s another huge wrinkle - By taking THIS LONG to resign, there will be no special election, and Hawk, a Republican, allows Abbott, a frothing-at-the-mouth-I-got-mine-fuck-you Far Right fuckward Republican, to APPOINT her replacement, instead of having the citizens of Dallas (a rather blue city overall in Texas)…

Having to discuss mental health issues in a professional context is one of the more humiliating things to do in the American workplace. I had to do it today and even though the outcome was extremely favorable for me, I still want to curl up in a ball and hide forever. I can’t imagine having to deal with it on this…

A contract simply doesn’t mean what it used to, I guess.

That ad is adorable. Can I be friends with all of these people? Today?

I wouldn't waste a bottle of Two Buck Chuck on braising Ann Coulter.

“I’m sensitive and I’d like to stay that way.
But also, Ann Coulter’s a cunt.”

I’ve actually read a lot about why most successful comedians are left-leaning (Jon Stewart, Colbert, Al Franken, The Onion, the entire writing cast of Simpsons, etc. etc.). A lot of it has to do with the fact that liberal-minded people are far more likely to end up with a career in the arts (and comedy/writing…

I’m glad someone came in with the correct take on Dylan early. I don’t enjoy his music.

Ann Coulter bombed and Phyllis Schlafly died. What a weekend!

I haven’t changed my mind about Bob Dylan. Nasal voices are nails on a blackboard, essentially, and he doubles down on it, so it’s all of the nopes for me.

Jewel’s response is lovely:

Nope. This is dumb. Marginalized peoples like Kaepernick and Rapinoe earn the change that’s necessary in this country by virtue of being human beings. Get the fuck out of here with this corny bullshit.

This is such a strange, uniquely American idea. It’s not The Military Anthem. It’s not The Troops Anthem. It’s the National Anthem. It’s for all of the people. It is not profession-specific.

So what about the guy in the bathroom taking a 2 chapter shit. Is he disrespecting the flag. What about the girl serving beer and fries in the concourse. Is she disrespecting the flag? The camera man on the sidelines? The lady sitting breast feeding her baby?

Why? We have evidence of pervasive discrimination against some of this country’s citizens, people who in theory should have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else, but don’t according to a huge raft of solid statistical evidence.

It’s too bad you hate America and our freedom to protest. Perhaps you would be more comfortable in Russia?

We’re used to it. We take it as a given. When else would football start?

Are you joking? It is the single best thing in the world about living on the West Coast.

It’s the best, one of the few things I miss about the West Coast. You wake up, have some eggs and hash browns, and watch football all day. Then at night, you drink a ton of water, smoke a little bit to unwind, and you can actually go to bed at a decent hour.
