Oh, stop whining and take your punishment like an adult. You did things that were wrong and now you’re suffering the consequences, and if you’d try to help right the wrongs you did without looking for publicity about it for a few years, maybe people would let you play politics again. But whining and blaming everyone…

I don’t know either. Most of his jokes make fun of himself, and he’s a big proponent of addressing mental health issues, his own especially, and encouraging people to see doctors and take the meds they need. People make fun of him for living with his mom; what isn’t said is that he bought the house for her and that…

False allegations are rare.

Wait ‘til people discover there’s always been a big cowboy subculture in Germany.  And if you think those straitlaced Germans can’t get down and funky with a lasso, well, you should go see for yourself.

They should be, because that’s what he’s doing. Most people think the Kardashians are a big waste of time, but this is a real man stalking and threatening a real woman.  Someone who has influence with him needs to take him in hand and get him to stop.  Or get him to take his fucking meds already.  I understand that he…

I grew up in the fictional town in which Harvey lives, and he is greatly beloved there.

Good question. I suppose it depends on the number of troops on the ground stopping cars in Russia. If necessary, you could also go straight west to Latvia and then SW to Lithuania and through Poland to Germany. If the road to Latvia goes too close to Belarus for your taste you could head further north and go to…

There is a white nationalist problem in the US.  The solution is not for Putin to invade Alaska and then the rest of the US.

Thank you for being such a good mom!

If you have extreme pelvic pain and it follows your cycles and doctors are telling you you’re faking things to get pain medicine, look up “pelvic congestion”. It’s a stupid name for the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life. When men have it, it’s called a varicocele and it’s a fucking emergency. The blood would pool in…

I once saw a motorcade get schooled at rush hour. It was trying to merge from the Dulles Toll Road to 66, and everything was at a standstill. It had its lights and sirens on and everyone was just ignoring the hell out of it. There was nowhere to go. 6 lanes were merging down to 3, and until they got to their turn,…

I want them stuck trying to maneuver through Dupont Circle in rush hour.  That’ll teach ‘em.

Yes, Al-Jazeera. It’s important to read/watch news sources from other countries to get a balanced view of the world.

I don’t mean to be snide, really, but you were looking for an analysis of geopolitics on Jez? Try Foreign Policy, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor (a very good and fairly neutral newspaper with only one page devoted to religious news), or the BBC.  My faves are the Wash Post and…

Or in other words, she was popular when she was just doing her job and when the rabid republicans weren’t throwing all the shit they could dream up at her.

Letting kids know what incest and rape are is better than letting them experience them firsthand and not know what’s going on, just thinking that somehow they’re being punished.  For... an imaginary something they can’t comprehend.  But nothing else makes sense.

People are such assholes.

Why are some titles on both the coming and going lists?

Same, except that there aren’t any guitar string scrapes I’m willing to hear.  Maybe it’s the frequency.  All I know is that noise should not be allowed to exist.  I don’t really mind fingernails/chalkboard either.  I mean, it would get tiring after a while, but that’s the case for everything.

And if your pet has a traumatic background, you can unwittingly (pun intended, and not kindly) trigger a response where your pet attacks you and hurts you badly. And who do you think is going to get the blame? Not you. “I just stuck my face in his and barked loudly while he was sleeping and he jumped four feet in the…
