Once it’s become clear that someone is mentally ill, perhaps it’s time to give them some leeway to work through their mental illness without people sniping at them. If you don’t like her, ignore her. If you do like her, support her without encouraging her illness. If you have no idea what to do, do nothing.

Well, that’s painting a large group of people with the same brush, when they’re actually individuals.  If you’re not getting the response you’re looking for, try looking for different people.  You’ll find them.  And good luck to you.

That’s the United States writ small. The blue states contribute more in taxes to the government than they get from it, and the red states (lower taxes! stand on your own two feet! pull yourself up by your bootstraps, you ignorant barefoot peasant!) take more in tax money from the feds than they put in.

Anyone who white supremacists, proto-nazis, and bigots (I refuse to use their sanitizing word ‘alt right’) hate is just fine with me and I’ll support them any day of the week.

True. They could be gorgeous by current standards and their personalities and the philosophies they hold dear would still make them repellent. I call this the Doug Principle in “honor” of this guy named Doug who was objectively very good looking until he opened his mouth and the horridness that came out would make you…

Attractive, you say? Palin and Boebert would probably clean up okay if they could find a professional to apply their makeup instead of insisting on doing it themselves, but the rest of them were sleeping off vicious hangovers when God was giving out good looks.

Yikes!  That seems an odd way to do it.  I guess separation of church and state isn’t quite as embedded as it is here with Democrats and the Constitution (though not, apparently, Republicans).  Good thing to know, thanks.

Now when you move in Germany (whether you are German or a foreigner) you have to register at the town hall.  You give them your proof of address, they give you a number that lets you find a job, open a bank account, and also serves as your tax id.  Probably more, but that’s a quick dip into Google.

My theory is that it’s the big chip on their shoulders. It’s the whole “someone is oppressing me and it’s probably that jackass driving that Saab with the Coexist sticker on the back because I can’t imagine ever being that kind of person, so everything I believe they are, I’m going to be against, because they probably…

That sounds dreadful. I’m at least in a nice blue enclave, though certain neighbors take great pains to point out that they support Darth Cheeto. Funny, you always know who they’re going to be even before they open their mouths. They’re always the obnoxious ones you don’t really like anyway.  We were redistricted from…

Everyone in my family is short. My brother (5'6", in his 40s at the time) said to me after his divorce that he was astonished to find that women didn’t really care about his height. He said the two things women talked about wanting from men were kindness and a sense of humor. I pointed out that I could have told him…

Dear Senator Karnes,

My friend’s brother was shot and killed for his car in New Orleans... only for them to say “oh, never mind” when they realized it was a rental.  He was still dead, though.  Have never seen anything about it in the paper.  Never heard of anyone being arrested.  Apparently if you want to kill someone in NOLA, all you…

Columbia?

SVU is never entirely accurate in their “ripped from the headlines” stories. That could get them sued. If you’re looking for current events to be accurately portrayed, don’t try to find it in a fictional tv series. Christ on a bicycle, who writes these articles?

Who are you, the Russian troll trying to stir up trouble?

Normally I’d agree with you.  But this is CPAC.  If anyone deserves a mime, it’s CPAC.

There is never any point to getting mad at the people at security checkpoints. They are told how to do their job, and they don’t get any leeway. If they use racist language or pick only people of color to give an extra screening, that’s one thing. But if they follow standard procedure and you just don’t feel like it…

Mastiffs are big, and they may look like they can be scary, but they’re not high energy dogs.  This makes me wonder whether the problem was with the training or Shaun King.  I know which one I’d choose.

Says a lot about Mango Mussolini that not even dead people will vote for him.
