And it’s strange to hear Uncle Nicky monologue about how vets with PTSD “don’t just get better” when that’s basically exactly what the show has done with his peppy 180 this season.

I love Leslie Jones.  Look forward to watching.

Where are the UN Peacekeeping Forces?  Is the problem that Russia has a seat on the Security Council that allows it to veto resolutions?  Can a subset of UN countries do anything?

If you have a splinter and a bit of it is poking out, or you can push on it until a bit is poking out but not enough to grab it with your fingernails, put a piece of tape on it parallel to the splinter and pull the tape slowly from the far end of the splinter towards the end where the little bit is sticking out. If…

In theory I agree with you, but in practice, I don’t. Look at the Darth Cheeto administration. Sometimes, people are just lying. Sometimes people make things up because they can’t be bothered to find out the truth. Sometimes people make things up for political gain. Sometimes people make things up because they have a…

Way back in the 80s when I was in college, I wore little boys shirts and sneakers. They fit me just fine (size 16 shirt and size 3 sneakers) and they were better made than the women’s clothing I could buy. I also wore painter’s pants and boy’s jeans. In fact, my friends and I thought the women who wore woman’s jeans…

Manson’s complaint reiterates his denial of any wrongdoing and accuses Wood of having “handpicked co-conspirators” to bolster her abuse claims.

Good for her for getting out of that situation, and good for her for talking about it and telling other women.  She’s got guts.

I had someone who was working on my floors tell me he was going to my bank, which was up the street, to cash my check.  He wanted to make sure I had enough in my account to cover it.  He said he got his money faster that way and he had some bills to pay.  So people do that, but I think most people just deposit a check…

Yes.  Children are not just inanimate pawns.  They know when their mother is upset, and they know who upset her, and they’re not likely to feel good about that person.  Even children as young as 4 years old have a good idea about the big picture, if not the details.  

I know this would never fly, but could it be used to cause problems?  What if someone files suit (files a motion?  I’m not a lawyer) saying The Handmaiden and Beer Boy Rapist and any other Supreme whose primary claim to fame is that they’re either Catholic or totally anti-choice should recuse themselves from anything…

Yeah, Oz makes a little more sense with Surrender Dorothy, doesn’t it?

In the DC area, when you headed west on the outer ring of the beltway from 95 towards 270, you would come across the Mormon Temple, which if you had never seen it before was sort of like seeing Cinderella’s castle for the first time.  And on a railroad bridge that crossed over the road were the words “Surrender…

I used to get the flu shot because my mother had COPD and if she got the flu it would kill her.  Now that she’s passed on I get it because I really like not getting the flu.  Also, I seem to be older now, which both surprises me and puts me, like you, in a more susceptable cohort.  I’ll get anything they want to give…

Every so often I watch that SNL clip where he compares how he’s treated in the Staten Island press with how Colin Jost is treated and it cheers me up for the rest of the day.

I just wonder if they’re making way for ambulances, fire trucks, and police with sirens and flashing lights.  I send a regular old fuck ‘em if they are, but if they’re not, I hope they go to that special hell where everyone they love COULD have lived, if help had gotten to them on time.

In the 70s in MY quaint CT town, my mother’s test after I got my license was that I had to drive around the big circular street our street was off of and stop going uphill on a very steep hill and get going again without stalling out four times in a row. I could use the emergency brake if I wanted to (if it’s not…

I don’t understand what the duck was supposed to mean.  Was it supposed to mean anything?  Are they equating women and ducks?  That duck seemed to be having a good time, but then again, I’m not a duck expert and it might have been screaming with rage and fighting to get away.  Everything I know about football I…

Shithead can’t even come up with something original, but he thinks he’s Hemingway or Faulkner.
