I’m ok with Flake never running again

Flake wasn’t playing Bannon’s game. Kelli Ward is running and far more in line with Bannon. Pro-Wall, Pro-Gun, Pro-Markets, and psychotic.

Am I being too optimistic (and yes, everything in the past 12 months should have taught me that if I’m asking that question, the answer is definitively “yes!”), or could the Repubs who are retiring (Corker, Flake) or are otherwise willing to buck the party line (Collins, possibly McCain) form a coalition with Senate…

Of course the bump stuck ban fizzled out. This is America, where 20+ children can die and no one does a thing but GOD FORBID a woman try and get birth control or an abortion.

Man, Flake is gonna be pissed when he sees that someone is voting with Trump almost 92% of the time in his name, including for every single nominee.

My mom just doesn’t want to be a 24/7 ATM Machine and she wants to be the one who gets to decide what she gets to do. No skin off my butt if she wants to putter around in my backyard, listen to NPR and knit. And if she wants to get out of the house and volunteer there are plenty of programs here that teach kids…

I replaced blood siblings with friends who are like family. Much better.

I wish I had a sister.

Siblings are only great if you get along or agree that you aren’t really friends. I have one sister who is my best friend. I also have a sister who has seen me as competition since I was born. I feel like if I ever got more in the spotlight than her, this is something that she would totally do. But would constantly…

This woman’s own daughters and mother have nothing to do with her .Meghan while she was still posting used to post pics of her and her oldest niece who is a lawyer .And then there is the youngest one

I admire the chutzpah it takes to try to make a buck off your famous sibling and call THEM Pushy.

So it seems that while with the previous Royal marriage most were obsessed with the sister’s arse this one will just have a half-sister who is an arse.

Right? He totally should have written “knock on wood” after that statement. Do all people Jon Snow through life?

Dude went and jinxed the whole trip.

“But what if schooling in the upper elementary grades, or even high school, didn’t turn into an exercise in rote memorization, or fact regurgitation, or testing and achievement metrics?”

There’s a huge difference between teaching *about* and *teaching* with religion. I teach *about* religions so my students can understand foreign cultures better. I don’t teach about Judaism or Christianity because my school has a lot of both and everyone has a base understanding of what those involve. It’s pretty hard…

Yeah. One in which Nazis would lose so hard that the boss Nazi would go so far as to shoot himself at the end. Wouldn’t that be something?

...he never served as a SEAL, or in Vietnam.

At my son’s school, they’ve started “Mindful Music Moments”, where they play a portion of a different piece of orchestral music each day (the same piece repeats throughout a given week), and the kids focus on listening to it. For him at least, this seems to help him center himself, helps him learn to appreciate the…

These are the same “progressive education” ideas that John Dewey was pushing 100 years ago, and peaked in popularity in the 60's and 70's. Its declined since then, because in the early-80's people realized it was not producing good results — i.e., kids ready to do high-level college-level work. Its generally accepted…
