Yop. And he never throws anything away. How he can still insist that I have more clothes than him when his half of the wardrobe is invading mine with the twin forces of worn-out sweatpants and t-shirts from college that he can’t even fit into anymore, I do not know.

Yep. I mean, if you’re trying for a baby you’ll probably already be cutting down on alcohol and doubling up on vegetables, multivitamins, etc. At least, this is what I have gathered from friends who prepared for pregnancy like they were prepping for the Olympics.

I mean, good grief, it’s hella windy here. Why the hell not?

I’m basing this mostly from old episodes of The West Wing, but this is what I understand: the national conventions are when the state delegates for both political parties get together and hash out who’s going to be their nominee for president, as they only get one each. They also decide more or less what will be the…

Maybe it was a joke? You know how old folks like to make young people uncomfortable.

Surprisingly, they are not the only O’Malley supporters I know! There’s the guy with a house sign I drive past on my way to work...I guess I don’t “know” him though...

Neat, I learned something extra today!

My in-laws are caucusing this year for the first time in about a decade and are currently leaning gently toward O’Mally (I mean, would an O’Mally supporter lean any other way?), so it will be interesting to hear what their experience is!

Corn, soybeans, pigs. And just lately wind energy.

Yeah, you know how Midwesterners deal with the weather here? By minimizing the fuck out the time they spend out in it. That and some serious tires. Don’t get me wrong, no-one in my office is freaking out and there is a general expectation that the storm will not be as bad as forecast, because that’s usually what…

Do you have to register as a Democrat? I believe you can participate as an independant- my husband’s been an independant for years and has caucused a few times. As I understand it, to participate in the Dem’s you just have to be not registered Rep.

I don’t know, I’ve been hearing a lot more interest in the Caucuses this year than in previous years (granted, I’ve only been hear permanently for a few years). I have a group of fairly apathetic friends and a lot of them are planning on going this year. Still, I agree that the Sanders campaign and the Dems in general…

There’s a difference between “not afraid” and “foolhardy” though. A lot of older folks in particular are very wary of driving in winter conditions here, which is why many of them head down to Florida, Texas, or Arizona during the winter months. Won’t make much difference this year, but that does have the potential to…

Yes, this makes me wonder about her parents full stop. Don’t get me wrong, she’s still a little dick, but accusations like this don’t come from the ether. I’m guessing her parents are bigoted dickbags with short fuses and she figured blaming the brown people they hate so much was a good way to deflect their tempers.…

I’m honestly surprised do many people are shocked by this, given that it’s been common knowledge that America’s care and foster system for vulnerable children is riddled with problems and loopholes. I mean, weren’t we all up in arms a week or so ago because it turned out one of those wackadoos down in Oregon was…

A lot of these children won’t have parents.

Same here. I’m a white, heterosexual, married, middle-class woman, and I live near a large metro area. I would have the least problems of anyone getting an abortion, but the thought of an accidental pregnancy still makes me break out in a cold sweat. How much worse must it be for other women?

“Generally, kinkajous climb to a high place and “just go”, However, they seem to go in the same locations, so after a while, you learn nooooooooooooooooooooooo ohmygodohmygodohmygod no no no no whatthefuckiswrongwithpeople oh my god.”

God, and I thought I had it rough last weekend when my cat decided to sit on my chest and poke her paw in my mouth from 2am to 6am.
