And after the Boston bombings:

Since Benghazi was the subject of the discussion, I present you with images of Libyan protestors after the attack in Benghazi.

If we're going to go there with leaving kids in cars, then I think it is vastly more important to write a story about "don't do it, don't do it, don't do it" with even owning a gun if you are the parent of a child. An average of 37 children per year die left in cars. Over 3,000 children per year die because of a…

My kid would love that she got upgraded to princess status! Ha! Weeeeird.

I do my best to remember the concept of "inconvenience" when I get caught in bumper to bumper traffic on I95 north of the city, to tell myself..."someone could have just lost their life, and I have only lost 10 minutes of mine" and even then, it's not "lost" at all, I just need to be positive and think of groceries I…

I don't think it would matter one bit what the show was. People do this if you interrupt a rerun of Barney Miller.

My White House would be filled with cats. Lincoln's bedroom? Full of cats. The Oval Office? CATS! There would be cats on the roofs with tiny sunglasses and guns!

He died last year of old age.

I think it's awesome that no one knew. That the only creature over at 1600 Penn who can have privacy and "just be" is some sad, tailless cat.

This is a very strange American obsession, most countries have protections in place to ensure people are paid a certain amount to be able to live off.

Those are all urban legends. As those essays explain, they're coded ways we talk about race while pretending we're not talking about race.

Can I suggest an alternative finale? I don't think the plot points were the problem for the most part, but rather the execution. So here is my alternative plot sketch for the finale. The main plot is similar, but the flashbacks are extended.

I was giving my husband a BJ and suddenly he got the giggles. I look over and here are my 2 cats just staring at me. Yes, I fuck in front of my pets because if I keep the door closed, they'll just paw and head butt the door, which ruins sexy times even more. Apparently, not only were my pervy cats watching us, but…

Fun story I have about Jill Biden! In 2008 I was a volunteer on the Obama campaign. I ended up being very close with the field team in Jacksonville, FL, so I got to do all the cool campaign stuff like get lunch for Forrest Whitaker and meet (then) Senator Obama the day before the election and tour his campaign plane.

Yes! We must implement this at once!

I realized the other day I haven't had more than a week off work or school since I was 12 years old (with the exception of last year, when I took a week and a half for my honeymoon). A work-life balance would be a lot easier if we lived in countries that gave reasonable vacation time like the rest of the world. When I…

THIS. Many other less wealthy countries manage to state sponsor their Olympic teams...this free-fall financing of our Olympic athletes cuts off the pool of talent at the wealthy ....this makes NO sense whatsoever.

There should be state sponsored olympic athletic programs from kindergarten on up that funnel kids with…

Ahem.

Violence against prisoners only creates more violent prisoners - and since most of them are not in there for life, it's us that pay when they're released. Even from a purely pragmatic perspective, if we do not want criminals to commit more crimes, the solution is not to make them more angry and violent in prison and…
