Someone needs to say it:

In the Western Wisconsin town I used to live in, there was a great Mexican restaurant run by a Mexican family.

Nope, he doesn’t. Other cats sing about Macavity, though the actor playing him is supposed to be a fairly good dancer since it’s a dance-heavy role.

JFC. Did the people who write political coverage learn NOTHING from the past few years? Just because she’s a Democratic woman, that doesn’t change the fact she doesn’t have a fucking scintilla of actual political experience. How well is taking someone seriously because they’re fun to cover going for the country right…

We’re more of the mindset that it is not cheap to fly, it is a pain in the ass to fly - as frequent flyers, traveling on the holidays is its own form of torture as you are ready to throttle the people in the TSA line in front of you who seem to be at a complete loss to 3-1-1 rules - and if the house is packed, then we…

Yep.  I would have teens come back to my place two or three times - yes, I do recognize you, my lovelies - because I gave out full-sized candy-bars.  Usually they were some of the last kids, though, and not having candy leftover in my house was fine.  If they did come back for a second time, though, I’d say, “Yeah,…

And usually, they will have that party on the Saturday before Halloween if it’s not on Halloween.  Adult engagement with the holiday is different than child engagement.

My husband and I tend to be on our own for Thanksgiving - we live 1,000+ miles from our families, and we are not flying for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. (Anyone is welcome to come visit us, but we will be hit with, “What, and fly on Thanksgiving weekend? Are you crazy?” Apparently we use magic to just apparate,…

Do not get me started on the DST shift. I used to have “The Scary House” - nothing too crazy, but I knew how to create a mood that was fully dependent upon darkness and the dim/flickering lighting I’d use. (Also, a heavy rotation of “Screams and Groans” from “Disney’s Chilling Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House”…

Actually, it’s more of a 5 to 2 ratio. As a former proprietor of “That Scary House That Gives Out Full Size Candy Bars,” I can assure you Friday and Saturday Halloweens are both pretty busy. (Sundays are still pretty mellow, though.) The biggest difference is the teens are out a lot later - the really littles are…

The NYT had this article back in January, and I initially gave it some side-eye, mentally including it in the “Quinoa-Broccoli Pho” debacle. But then, I saw that this was pulled from a Korean-American chef’s cookbook, and I decided to give it a try one evening when I was stuck in the house with not many groceries.

The MAMA flavors do vary - some are salt bombs, some are more mellow.  But I do love the variety - there’s an entire huge section at my local Asian grocery, and I will fill a basket.

I like Myojo Chukazanmai noodles, but admittedly, I use them for Hiyashi Chuka (they come with a really decent sesame sauce). I can’t imagine the other flavors wouldn’t be good as well.

They gave her empathy, but teaching her to be “normal.” (That was her question back in Season 1 - who teaches a mutant to be normal when they’re unique?) She had touch, parents who were involved, she learned about sex from a mother talking to her about it instead of the messed-up experiments.

Graham has mellowed over the years, but even when he was a little more vicious/snarky, he was still so much better than Andy Cohen they shouldn’t be mentioned in the same paragraph.

This. This. This.

It means, “Anything I can do to hold onto the power and sweet, sweet office space that comes with being Speaker of the House, I will do.”

Here’s the transcript -

One of the first justifications she always pulls out whenever her Speaker chair is threatened is how she’s such a great fund-raiser.  It truly is her lode-star.

Every newspaper in Merica: “ZOMG MUELLER LOOKS OLD.”
