Good lord. What is this, Eagleton, IN? That’s not a park, that’s a country club. Those we have. 

I would take a haunted roller coaster.

Why do I get the feeling this was just an attempt to poison the well by Spencer?  The right’s whole thing these last few years has been blatant trolling, and this just feels like a particularly hamfisted attempt.

All these blow hards saying “oh, she’s not descended from slaves! Her father was from Jamaica!” How do they think Black people got to Jamaica? 

All of the gawking is cruel. Really disillusioned to see people justify this because it is happening to people in Trump’s orbit. It must be traumatizing to watch your parents bitterly slug it out in public.

She is 15.

But how could she tell on you without also telling on herself? It seems like whatever trouble you could be in for comparing her house to hell, it would be worse for her since she was the one who first introduced the word hell into your exchange.

In elementary school, I had this terrible teacher, Mr. Long. He was a dick who clearly had anger management issues and a palpable dislike of children. Lest you think he was some holdover from the days when no one cared what went on in classrooms, he was 25. We were his second class after completing his bachelor’s and…

In the early 1990s, I worked with an insufferable woman none of us could stand. At one point during the time I endured her, she walked by while I was talking to another employee.

Seventh-grade boy: “You suck the big one!”

Oh yes I’m aware of the circumstances of McCain’s birth. Had the roles been reversed and it were Obama that had been born in a foreign country that was US property I’m also absolutely certain Republicans would have mounted legal challenges to keep him off the ballot.

Hey! You live next to one of my favorite takeout places (Dragon Wok).

I think it depends where (physically) you are in Minneapolis. There’s a huge swatch of South Minneapolis that’s totally awash in Melton-Meaux signs. He’s also totally -blanketed- the fucking mail in ridiculous campaign flyers about Omar’s LOW ATTENDANCE AT VOTES (the pearl clutching is audible). I live in SAINT PAUL…

Rich has the absolute best recaps on Vh1.com when it was airing. I find myself trying to find those recaps again because I loved them so much. Sadly I am unable to find them anymore but they were gems!

My sister still refers to a certain level of inebriation as “Rock Of Love Drunk”

As if Minneapolis didn’t have enough on its plate at the moment, there’s a serious squabble going on in Ilhan Omar’s primary. Anecdotally, I have a fair number of friends that are backing her challenger, Antone Melton-Meaux. For the most part, their reasoning is pragmatic: they feel like Omar is a lightning rod, and…

As someone local, I -think- most polling (scant) indicates she’s “comfortably” ahead, but then I drive through some of the ritzier lakeside suburbs in the district and am truly aghast at how much fucking money her challenger has raised.

Hi! I am an immigration expert/attorney. The DACA memo is terrifying and disgusting, but it’s just inaccurate to say that it pertains to children. The fact that the administration put that sentence in the memo is nonsensical - DACA applies to young adults (now mostly in their 30s). You had to have been present in the…
