He was nostalgic for a past that didn’t belong to him. I found that kind of creepy.

You are correct. 

I know people who grew up where he did and laughed at the idea that he was in “hillbilly” country or “from a holler”. And didn’t his grandma lend him $30,000 or something similar?

I read Vance’s book several years ago at a friend’s request. When she asked what I thought, I said, “I think he’s planning a run for office.” Also, I’m amazed at the number of people (men) who yell LIVE FREE OR DIE! and then turn around and tie themselves to someone who essentially owns them. 

he writes a book that throws his family and community under the bus and then feverishly tries to erase his true feelings about Dipshit in order to curry favor with that shitstain...I predict a long future for this guy in the GQP, telling his constituents in veiled terms that they’re garbage and if they were true…

Now we know why he moved back to Columbus. He made a lot of noise at the time about how important it was for him to return to Ohio, blah blah back to his roots, whatever. He was hoping Master Thiel would buy him a Senate seat. Too bad for him that Ohio voters don’t think much of this carpetbagging fraud.

I grew up in North Texas. They told us in PUBLIC school that the Earth was 4000 years old, and that there was no such thing as dinosaurs.

Let me start by say f*** Cosby and fans of credibly accused rapists. I would say Phylicia Rashad is more of a person who has a close personal relationship with the accused. Personally, I try not to focus on what a person in that position says because it’s more emotionally complicated for them to reckon with. I’d…

This black justice generational divide is chilling.

Sending you a big hug.

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. My dad died years ago when I was in my twenties. I hadn’t seen him in years, and then he died before I was able to see him or even talk to him. We had a strained relationship, and it was a very, very hard pill to swallow. I know how you’re feeling, like you were robbed of saying…

I’m so sorry, sweet one.

I am so very sorry Ruby.

My dad died on May 29, and my life will never be the same. I'm 51, so on the whole, I was blessed to have that many years with him, but I'm still crushed. I'll forever be haunted by the fact that I never got a chance to see him. My kids and I drove 800 miles to see him Memorial day weekend, but things took a drastic…

100%

I guess I don’t understand, but then I’m not into tennis, and my father (the great Bob Gibson) was left alone because he’s a man. He hated doing interviews, and during his hey-day, he didn’t. On game day, he refused to hobnob with fans, and would walk in and out of the dugout ignoring them. People would complain, but…

Do the laws of physics even apply to Simone Biles?!!

Kareem Abdul Jabbar has an intense interest in history in general. Something I discovered when I happened upon some television special I can’t specifically recall, hosted by him. He is very charismatic as a presenter and his enthusiasm is obvious, which always helps you become interested in something, even if you…

My little old mother (not a sports fan) was bumped up to first class on an airplane one time, and ended up with her knitting sitting next to a very tall man whom everyone seemed to know. After they all had to sit down because the plane was taking off, she introduced herself and said she was sorry, but everyone else…

He’s on the short list for sure.
