It’s seldom mentioned that a large number of middle class people are propping themselves up in that category with significant amounts of debt. I have four millennial kids and after putting them through college with the help of scholarship funds, I can’t afford to pay their rent and cell phone bills and cover their…

Some of Kink’s movie titles: Hogtied, The Training of O: 4 Days of Slave Training, Dungeon Sex, Sadistic Rope...

As a woman and life-long Volvo wagon owner, that color combination screams small-dicked pharmaceutical salesmen. Pass the crack pipe, boys.

I just think Anthony Bourdain has a dark and snarky sense of humor and in his earlier shows often pointed out how easy it is to become part of the doucheoisie by being a food show celebrity. When I see him on TV now: starting a company to make outrageously expensive luxury chocolate bars with Eric Ripert, eating a…

I noticed she’s the star of WalMart’s holiday commercials . I’d never heard of her before.

Seeing evidence of horrific backwardness provides some perspective on progress that has been made. I remember walking in buildings where my kids went to college that once barred women and jews and thinking, “Hah, racist misogynist in the portrait. Screw you. I’m eating in your building.”

I think what is often perceived as a lack of empathy is complete shock that Ivy League administrators, the standard bearers of American progressivism, are being accused of racism.

No one calls a house master of a university “master.” It is a position going back to the formation of medieval colleges and has nothing to do with slavery. The title denotes that the person with that title is responsible for everyone in the household, in this case, students. There are house masters in American…

I can now add pancakes to my list of dangerous dishes in food service. Bacon Mac and Cheese is still at the top.

You know these angry Christians only drink coffee from Dunkin Donuts or 7/11 anyway. They need to keep their religion out of my Venti bold.

Dan Savage has been warning about numerous instances like this for months on his podcast. Some teens are getting busted on charges of trafficking in child pornography.

There is a Hummer dealership in Maine just south of Portland, at least it was still there the last time I drove by it on my way to the airport in a 2008 E-Class wagon. I’ve seen one Hummer in the wild there. Maine is old Saab and Subaru wagon country. Down-low rich people along the coast keep an old Land Rover…

I became a registered nurse in 1972, back when doctors still treated nurses like servants, had no interest in your input or opinion, and rarely acknowledged your importance. That changed as time went on, but very slowly. What hasn’t changed is the difficulty of the work, the emotional and physical toll, and the low…

My eyes would be wide open and every light in the room blazing and at full tilt. I’ll sing God Save the Queen after he gets off and gets out.

My baby making days are long gone, but I’d like to try anyway. At the very least, I could get ginger-vitis.

Funny cause it’s true. I would also add that a laissez-faire interpretation of monogamy works rather well for a lot of people.

But he has such a wonderful personality. And by personality, I mostly mean that bulge. That hu-u-u-ge British basket. Hail Britainia!

Prince Andrew thinks 19 too old. I’m sure his shenanigans would do some damage.

Is this what corporations buy when they don’t pay taxes?

His son shoots dogs, but I don’t think he understands that isn’t considered hunting.
