I don’t know much about safe injection sites other than that they are medically supervised and (I assume) provide clean needles. I also assume they DON’T supply the drugs themselves. I see some obvious benefits to this. If addicts have a safe place to use, it should make other public spaces like parks, public…

I agree. You make hay while the sun shines. Every movie doesn’t have to be “art”. An okay movie is okay. Sometimes I’m amazed by movies that have a ton of talented people in them and a decent premise and then are just truly bad. (Looking at you Kong: Skull Island.) Even then, though I don’t hold it against the…

I agree with this assessment. BoneSpur’s approval rating stays pretty steady at about 33%. Now that’s 33% of people who answer their phone when it’s an unknown number and then doesn’t hang up when it’s a survey so that’s probably more like 25% of the entire population. Like you said, roughly 25-30% of the country is…

I’ve never thought about that. It does make sense that it would be pretaped. It’s just that Abdul has such a reputation for lip syncing that maybe she should have just skipped the tap dancing if she couldn’t nail the synced sound.

Wow. Just wow. The tap dance tapping being pre-recorded was a gift I didn’t know we needed. 

All those close ups of Ted freaking Cruz?! The horror. 

True. And his body language when he says it is part of it, too. And the little pause right before makes me think the internal dialogue in his head is “Don’t say the n word, dont say the n word.” Except in his head he’s definitely saying the word.

The open admission that he has “a paper trail” stretching over 30 plus years of terrible things that he has said was my favorite part. But how he says “blacks” was a close second. These people are officially off their leashes. Damn.

Yeah, I think I’m Team 50 on this, too, based on the article and your recap. And I’m sure this young, attractive reality show woman would totally still be with this guy if he wasn’t rich and frivolous in his lavish gift giving. She loves him for him. No doubt.

I’ve never watched Vanderpump Rules or any of those kinds of shows so I don’t know anything about any of the people involved in the 50 Cent feud. But as an outsider just expressing a gut feeling - that Emmett guy looks like the kind of person who thinks Trump is classy and has good taste. 

That’s crazy. These crazy sentences have to be addressed, too.

I didn’t think it was possible for me to think more highly of Martha Stewart, but snubbing the Gaines certainly did it. 

I don’t know if you’re familiar with Longreads but they have a series of bio-essays called Queens of Infamy about famous queens, empresses, extremely wealthy ladies of their day, etc. . . . They are so good. And like you say wild stuff that really is batshit amazing. 

Of course that’s the pronunciation. I mean, what else? 

I think a big problem to widespread reform is that when we talk about people in prison we speak in terms of “murderers, rapists, and child molesters.” There is then the instinctual revulsion for these particular criminals, especially the pedophiles. No one wants to say “sure let the child rapist vote.” However, if you…

You are welcome. I forgot to mention Elizabeth Kingston. She is really good, too. She has a Welsh Blades series that is a bit different for romance as it takes place in the late 1200s in Wales and England. Her heroines are seriously bad ass. And she has a Ladies of Scandal series that has the more traditional romance…

Well, the head of the Justice Department for these whole United States went on television in front of the entire world and pretty much said that ignorance of the law is in fact now an excuse. Maybe they also need to say they did these things when they were angry and upset at the thought of their very special snowflake…

But there are so many good books that do that with better rich men.

That’s great! 

Substitute Cheetos for the Doritos, and yes, I have. But there are so many TRULY GREAT romance novels out there that are fun, quick reads. You can have your guilty reading pleasure without consuming pure garbage. Check out Courtney Milan or Tessa Dare or Lisa Kleypas or Kit Rocha. And there are lots I’m not thinking…
