Though I agree that’s awfully polite of your husband, I would say that 8 is definitely passed some kids bedtime so if you have neighbors with little ones they were trying to get to sleep, I could see that a law mower could be annoying.

My general rule is that if a couple is always posting public statements about how much they love each other and how happy they are that they are just hiding some dark shit from us and probably from themselves as well.

I miss Kara

Kara going all Hollywood on us:

Guess I’m weird, cause the first thing I do when I check in (folks, I’m not staying in four star view of the Eiffel Towel type joints, just your regular run of the mill Marriotts with a view of the parking lot, grassy knoll) is close the blinds.

I’m still convinced this is some kind of comedic social experiment thing. There’s just no way you put together that cast for any movie that you want to be taken seriously.

We were a Nielsen household for a couple of years. Every 25 minutes or so that black box starts blinking at you and you have to hit the OK button to confirm that you’re still there and watching. NBD at first, but sooner or later you’re sunk in your chair and the remote is out of reach and you’re just “Oh fuck you you…

Disagreement and rational discourse is fine. Jumping all over a good politician’s shit like a ravenous dog because they aren’t perfect at everything isn’t. Conflating the two is what got Trump elected. Divide and get conquered.

I’ve learned the past few years that Democrats aren’t allowed to evolve and change their stances for the better, because then they’re “pandering”.

Booker is pushing this because Big Pharma wants to be in the marijuana business. This is the same man who voted against cheaper drug prices just a few months ago; they own him. Booker wakes up every morning wondering how he can be the next corporate Democrat to thoroughly alienate his base and lose to Trump in a…

or this will allow the pharmacy industry to start cashing in on that sweet sweet weed money.

Yeah, I’m legitimately surprised he did this. The only thing I can think of is that he reassured his paymasters there was NO CHANCE it would pass, so it burnishes his liberal creds while not actually endangering his constituents’ profits.

People complain a lot about Cory Booker being a corporate sellout and voting to support the pharma industry, but this is a big slap in the face for the pharma industry that is so prominent in NJ. Good on Booker.

I have been DYING for democrats to introduce legislation. Yes, it will probably not pass, but they are showing they have balls and they are actually trying to have a platform.

Now if they can continue this including if they ever get back in power- I think it can only go up.

I am sure this will get past the Congress.

Jorge, how can I get in touch with you and Maria? I live in Stockholm and have connections to activist groups here (and also have connections in Södermanland, in the Eskilstuna/Västerås area, which if she’s 2 hours out of Stockholm she might be near to).

If I don’t know someone who can help (I’m an immigrant myself) I…

Where can I donate?

Given his track record for weirdly impersonal interactions with this child, he’ll probably try to give the kid a hardy handshake, congratulate him on coming out of his mother’s vagina, and give him an iTunes gift card or something.

Maybe he can make the time to go check in on the mini-mooch now

Well at least he still has that divorce to look forward to.
