I work at a Methodist college in the South, and its administration is very secular. George Fox College was founded as a Quaker college, but it’s now George Fox University, and its administration is very evangelical. Both of my parents attended decades ago and several other family members hold degrees from there as…

It became a thing over 100 years ago. George Fox College was founded in 1891 in Newberg Oregon.

I am neither Southern nor evangelical Christian (I’m a non-practicing Quaker from the Pacific Northwest), but despite all that and the silicone Dolly strikes me as the most genuine, sweet celebrity I have ever seen in action. I bet she smells like lilacs or rosewater, like any grandma of her generation (yes, I’m aware…

The article was classic Politico fare: Frame a relatively mild critique of a popular figure on the left with some Washington gossip and quotes by unsavory pundits and figures, and inject some unwarranted sensationalism over a couple of staff changes and niceties.

As he prepares to be knighted by the Queen, Hogan attempts to reclaim his image and restore his reputation, which has been tarnished by... commercialism? The fans?

Ahh, I see the meat of the misunderstanding here. My apologies for misinterpreting, I thought you trolling support for Trump. I have no problem with the French. There would be no United States of America without the historical financial and military support of the French nation and people. Our national icon of…

I thought “loud-mouth, fat-ass, con-artist, orange misogynist” was pretty clear. I wouldn’t even break bread with the man or invite him into my home, I certainly wouldn’t endorse him as a candidate. Very nearly any breathing human being is the lesser of two evils here. He is psychologically incapable of telling the…

Well, you misspelled democracies and misused functional. So already the odds of my agreeing with you are in the dirt.

As a non-Hillary fan who voted for Hillary because she was the biggest boss in the room, my only complaint about Christine LaGarde is that she’s French. I’d vote for her immediately if it was a race between an ineligible foreign candidate and a loud-mouth, fat-ass, con-artist, orange misogynist like Trump.

I choose to believe that he said it because it was so patently ridiculous and wrong-headed that it was his brand of self-effacing humor. The real problem is that I’m afraid that his Mom might think it’s a decent idea. I expect her to talk him down from crazy shit like that.

Accurate but not the whole truth. The fact that several of us can identify with that privileged rich white guy due to the shared experience of parenting and its uncontrollable pitfalls is a positive aspect of human interaction, not the reverse.

I mean....this is probably the most accurate take.

Granddad seems to be missing the essential irony here, that he feels the need to defend her as if she were under threat, while she is carrying a weapon that could literally clear the court. Of souls.

And changing your argument (from wanting “continued business and referrals” to “the dynamics of power”) doesn’t help it.

Ever had a discussion (on Jezebel of all places!) about the dynamics of power? That pilot was likely assigned to Kobe as his full-time job. Tell the boss one too many times that you can’t do what he wants and you’re effectively out of a job. Add your average pilot’s ego into that mix. It takes a hell of a professional…

“How dare you do the thing my husband insisted you do because he felt he was too important to sit in traffic like all the schlubs?”. Who exactly was going to tell Kobe it was a bad idea? The company that wanted his continued business and referrals? The coaches and parents who needed his continued support and…

Maybe we can discover that he was an illegal immigrant the whole time and turn him over to ICE.

It is what it is. Bloomberg is also another “only slight less skeevy” version of Trump. I would take him as well if it comes to that. I’m still hoping Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris play rock-paper-scissors for President/V.P. and get back in the race together, because they are my dream team. But we live in the…

Whatever stories come out of the woodwork, she can’t possibly be as bad as a second Trump administration. I’m going to follow the theory that it doesn’t pay to trash all of my semi-allies, who I feel aren’t allies enough, while there are still hateful enemies arrayed for war on the other side of the battlefield.

Not a video game, but always my go-to.
