This is the organization that has been busy drop-kicking their perceived moral authority into the next county by enabling child abusers for the last forty or so years (that we know about). This is the organization that, because of abortion, had little or nothing to say about Trump’s character and sexual activities;

... and our governor has just one job to do - just one!

There’s some outrage about Cruz going to Cancun at this time; I for one (as as Texas resident) see no problem.

It’s like the end of a gangster movie where the writers can’t think of any good way to end it so they have this big gunfight where all the inconvenient bad guys shoot each other.

Drunk girl you wish you hadn’t started talking to at a party indeed.” - SNL did indeed do a cold open with Cecily Strong as Carone. For me it was a tossup whether the SNL skit was funnier than the actual testimony; Carone’s delivery of “dead people” rivals the Ghostbusters line “Cats and dogs living together!”, and

When the term “defund” started to be used, I had to drill down to get to the meaning underneath it, and then it made perfect sense: allocating resources to places and purposes that prevent crime and actually address mental illness, among other things. I thought it was a mistake to use that word in that way; the first

I think Trump is on the roof, and he won’t come down.

The daily stories about Trump, and from him, alternate between being “[as if] ripped from The Onion” and just incomprehensible lies, maybe all calculated to keep him in the headlines, if “calculation” can be applied to this type of garbage. This was an Onion-quality entry. He wants more done about showerheads than

Agree; the internet has been whole new dimension in this escalation. But what’s escalating (in my opinion) is also the scope of the public knowledge or broadcasting of these things. So there seem to be two prongs to these things - now the comments and actions are publicized farther than ever before [the internet] and

The only thing I have to add to the reactions to this story is that her speech was powerful because she knows how to make a point and put sentences together to get that point across. Maybe this shouldn’t be a big deal, but it is; politicians usually don’t have anything to say and, in talking, manage to say nothing but

It’s the image that spurs the discussion.

Whenever there are discussions (otherwise known as “pearl-clutching freakouts”) about this topic from Christian evangelicals, I’m reminded of a men’s Bible group I used to be in long ago when I still identified as a Christian; at that time, there were a few gay couples in the (Methodist) congregation, and there was no

Good article, but great headline.

I liked it better than the one two weeks ago; I felt like they were just feeling their way a little bit the first time, but this week they seemed more creative, less “hey, look at us, we can do this!” and more actually thinking funny. Not all of the sketches worked for me, nor did the Miley Cyrus, but, hey, that’s

Yes, well put - I forgot that that’s been a sizeable chunk of the mindset, and yet it’s so easy for it to be reinforced: from every direction, all those things you mention is attacking all of their values (or so it would seem). I would never disagree that it can appear that we live in a corrupt and sinful world. It’s

I have a fantasy where people find that adopting pets provides immunity from the virus. It goes right along with the one where people find donating money to Doctors without Borders does the same thing. 

Yes, this [rationale for staying open] comes straight out of the anti-science belief system, but I think the core motivator is indeed $$$ for those that are staying open. I think Falwell’s Liberty thing is a special case in that I think he doesn’t want to be seen changing his mind; if he were truly an academic

Yup - little known true stories - he’s in bed that night with Mary Mags and tells her about it and she’s all,”Free healthcare? Jesus H. Christ, what the hell do these people expect?”

Neither. He’s going to admit that he’s responsible for the poor decisions and his mismanagement of the situation. He’ll apologize for misunderstanding the situation, and make sure that all of the students affected receive proper medical care at his expense. He’ll catch the virus and suffer greatly, but will recover,

Or that part in the Beatitudes where he says “Blessed are the conservatives, for they shall inherit the libs - and without a death tax!”
