Well, the last time he ran against an 18 year old kid who was still in high school and only beat him by 100 votes. I mean, given his record on racism he still should’ve lost. I blame the voters in South Buffalo for his win. Also, maybe the Democrats should’ve run a better candidate.

To add another layer of fuckery to all this Jimmy Griffin, a popular Democratic former mayor of Buffalo, died 8 years ago of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Another prion disease.

Wow! There are a lot of forensic experts here in the comments section! If they ever decide to put Burke on trial they should just get some of these folks for expert testimony and that guy will hang for sure! /s

It isn’t that cold here yet and I’m kind of pissed off. I dealt with 90 degree weather all summer knowing that winter was my reward! Where is it?!

Snopes says no. http://www.snopes.com/trumps-flip-flop-on-flag-burning/

I think/hope he’s also going to change his tune once he starts getting garbage approval ratings. He wants so desperately to be liked.

It was really disheartening. I’m glad people seem to have come around. They really shouldn’t have had to because, you’re absolutely right, we’re usually good about not victim blaming around here. I guess a lot of people were blinded by their love of a manic pixie dream boy.

I’m super glad the comments around here regarding Amber heard have changed tone. When she and Depp first split and she was going public with her abuse allegations some, at the very start I’d even say most, of the comments around here were really nasty and disparaging to her.

This is Erie county (Buffalo area)! I’m so proud of my adopted hometown. Except for the Carl Paladino thing. He’s pretty gross.

This just made me cry all the tears I had bottled up over the last few days. This song has been covered to death but I love John Cale so I had to have a listen.

I don’t feel particularly brave for not having children. I have always actively not wanted them. The only time bravery enters into it is if I mention one of the reasons for me remaining childfree is that I don’t like kids much. Never have, even when I was one. It’s becoming more acceptable to not have kids, I’m not…

I hadn’t watched this episode yet but some fine folks on Facebook spoiled it for me on Sunday night. I don’t think I will watch. I’ve been hate watching for a while due to lazy writing and relentless grimness. This seems like the perfect opportunity to bounce. Maybe I’ll catch up with it on Netflix but I can’t really…

Oh no! Poor Lucy. Yeah, we just had a cat at our shelter with an anal gland problem. It explained why she didn’t like having her bum touched.

Nah. After my cat’s neuter he recovered a bit but was still high as fuck when they sent him home. I volunteer at our city’s animal shelter and we get cats back from their spay/neuter surgeries zonked as all get out.

There’s also no advantage to eliminating it from your diet unless you have a sensitivity to it.

To each their own I guess. I love horror (easy on the gore and jump scares though, please) but I’m not a huge fan of comedies in general and romantic comedies in particular. Mostly because I find most of them painfully unfunny. And romantic cliches=barf. If I’d had my morning coffee I could state all this more…

Her song sounds like a rejected Crystal Castles tune.

While it’s ignorant to insist that one go whole hog for Hillary it’s just as ignorant to say she’s terrible. She’s not.

I know Idris is sexy as Hell but I’m not sure I understand all the fawning over him on this site. Has everyone forgotten he’s a serial cheater? He cheated on a pregnant wife and he cheated on a pregnant girlfriend in the past. Not a good look. http://jezebel.com/did-idris-elba…

More Kembra Pfahler and less Marilyn Manson, please.
