I was going to ask this too.  Why is it a bad idea? Would it make the OJ too bitter?

“This perception of Meghan as fake has long lurked in the ugliest coverage—an idea that’s intimately connected to the fact that prior to marrying a Windsor, she was an actress.”, emphasis mine.

This thing about the star in the corner of your license is incorrect. Not all states do this. In WA state, for example, the license will say “Enhanced Drivers License” in the upper right corner. There will NOT be a star there.

He’s a bully.  It’s the stance of a bully, all the way back to the elementary school playground where boys bullying others would puff out their chests and hold their arms out with a what-are-you-gonna-do-about-me-now posture.  He’s not insecure about himself, he’s not self-aware enough to give him that.  None of the…

I will be 50 in just a couple of weeks, and I’m certain I’m going through a mid life crisis.  I can’t wait to see what their version looks like.  

It is if you have no kids, can walk away from your life and have the money to travel like that.  For the other 99% of us, nope.  That’s not how it works. 

All those women and their music helped me get through my divorce in 1996.  That music gave me an outlet to harness my anger and know that I was worth more than how I was being treated.  It isn’t crap music at all.  It served a very real purpose for lots of people, and this author is still stuck in the rut of being…

This simply isn’t true about free needle exchanges. There are exchanges in most major cities that are well frequented, including my own. I know they’re frequented because my child is a recovering addict, and after 9 years of addiction knows the system inside and out. The cops have a lot more important things to do…

I agree with 90% of what you’ve said here, but need to make one point.  State AGs have plenty of power to shape laws.  They often will work with legislators to draft bills and then not only testify at the legislature for the bill as a primary sponsor (just as Governors will put forward bills they want passed, but…

This happened to my 70yo mother a couple of years ago.  It was 9pm, and she calls out from upstairs that she needs my IT manager husband to come up because Microsoft was on the phone, and they needed to access her computer.  He was out at the store, so I ran up there but she’d already gone to whatever website they…

Stanich’s place was a dive.  Yes, it was popular with the locals, because in Portland where everything is twee, Stanich’s wasn’t.  It was dark, grubby, and reeked of fry grease.  When they said they were closing for “deep cleaning”, my first thought was they’ll have to dig to China to get deep enough in that place.…

I’m an only child whose father remarried a women with 3 kids from a prior marriage. I never felt part of that family, having “siblings” was never a benefit for me.  In fact, it was a total nightmare every visit, and I was always glad to go home.  Being an only child isn’t the lonely, miserable existence some of you…

Albert, thank you for writing this.  It is so refreshing to see a man, a sports writer, take on Kobe and his past for what it actually is.  Thank you very much for this! 

Her cherubic face, like a porcelain doll with the big blue eyes and blond hair... she was a natural for convincing these old white guys she was an angel.  She could have sold them anything. 

It’s all true, sadly.  The fact that there are so few campaign consulting firms run by women is also a problem.  The men that do often don’t care or aren’t willing to understand the additional battles their candidates face, and aren’t able to help women candidates see around those corners and develop strategies to…

The thing I don’t understand is that hard news outlets like the Washington Post covered this garbage. Is this nonsense really that important, to rival the unwinding of our government in garnering coverage? Aren’t there more important issues to cover at WaPo than a finger pointing “you’re worse than me” bunch of…

Nutria were brought to the PNW from South America when trappers over-hunted beavers for their skins.  Nutria were thought to be a good replacement, but their fur was poorer quality and there wasn’t another natural predator that could consume enough Nutria to make up for their speedy reproduction.  We have Nutria…

Why, Lindsay Graham would never be re-elected to the Senate if that were the standard.  That man’s closest family is a good bourbon drank heavily while in the closet.  

Lordy, you’ve hit it right on the head. I have a heavy measure of that nasty tenaciousness that I’m quite proud of (thankyouverymuch), and now I wonder if that isn’t due to my Southern White Evangelical grandmother continuously raking my mom over the coals for not fitting the standard (thin, rich, blonde, always…

Amen to this. I have a good example in my mom, she’s always fashionable, but not uncomfortable. We have both made the same decision as you about shoes- comfort is queen for us. I don’t color my hair because the gray coming in is a really pretty white and its coming in an attractive pattern.  I’ve never gotten by on…
