No, I understand the full context of the term. It is impossible to overestimate my propensity for being clandestinely childish. 

Gaucho!

I’m all aboard the nudism train. I wish my wife was on board and i had a private yard to truly enjoy it. Its odd, that there’s no mention of simply wearing an apron when cooking nude though.

Yeah, both Belmont and the Tinney’s coddled, brain-damaged son had chivalry/knighthood fixations, the latter with hoarderesque levels of collecting antiques, sometimes of very dubious provenance.

It’s not “curious” that Warren won’t say middle class taxes will be raised, because middle class expenses will go down significantly (no out-of-pocket medical expenses). Yet the minute she says taxes will be raised, even within the context of the point, the GOP will pounce on the line and use it in every attack ad

My hatred of Camille Paglia stems from the fact that her arguments are so rhetorically weak and yet she has the reputation she has. I honestly think (hope?) if she’d been born 30 years later, she’d be a laughingstock. I remember having to read an essay in undergrad in which she compared getting date raped while drunk

wow i had no clue she was the first black actress to win that award, so that makes me a little even more angry, if she is not worthy of dimming ALL the light not just nine, who is?

What amazes me most is her longevity. Most gymnasts get 1 Olympics and a handful of World Championships to be dominant. She kicked ass in Rio and just got better.  Can’t wait to see her dominate in Tokyo next year

My dad and his best friend got the cheapest flight to Europe they could find the summer after they graduated high school. It was on the Romanian national airline, this back in 1979 when the Cold War was still going strong and Romania in particular was a secret police nightmare dystopia that made Animal Farm seem like

My in-laws love cruises and insisted the whole family (15 of us) do one for their anniversary. It was...uneventful, which I guess I should be grateful for, having envisioned norovirus, seasickness, storms and all manner of possibilities. I will say the service and food were excellent, but for the obscene amount of

And I feel safe joking about the misinformation because no one is stupid enough to believe it.

Seriously, I’m in!

It’s really not even a slim majority considering another 4% were for the impeachment but not removing him from office and only 40% were against the impeachment.

I took an Alaska cruise and marveled at the number of mobility challenged passengers...and then it sort of dawned on me that cruises are actually great for people who are older, or less mobile, or otherwise have difficulty traveling. Like, I was snarking about it, but what other kinds of wilderness touring can people

Centrists are conservatives that hedge their bets, but will go full-on conservative if given a conservative choice.  At least that’s been my experience dealing with the species.  YMMV, of course. 

Yep. There’ll be fierce storms and heavy rainfall through most of the North Atlantic/ North Sea at this point. We’ve just had a couple of cruise ships port in the town I live in, and the their frozen, seasick, bedraggled denizens have been moping around town, a sorry sight to behold. :(

IMHO, if Warren can’t break the lock down that Team Biden has on the more centrist leaning POC, she will have to continue slowly grind - as she has so far - all the way Dem convention. Warren and the more progressive nominees have to lay out detailed plans to still get ignored by the centrists

Splinter had garbage traffic and was pretty much known as just another white liberal blog that was gentrified away from PoC. The Root has a much better online presence and a smaller staff. In other words, The Root has a brand that’s worth having.

Because of COURSE we should rely on the election that he was caught trying to corrupt to decide if he was in the wrong.

Dressing as Derek for Halloween this year. Got the black jumpsuit, white slip-ons, crazy wig, sign that reads I CAN’T STOP SAYING JASON. No beard because fuck beards. My girlfriend is going as Janet. The purple version, natch.
