I find myself in the surreal position of defending W., by noting that Trump doesn’t even have the level of empathy it would take to paint terrible animal portraits.

Also “A lot of YouTube journalists have just lost one hell of a lot of credibility,”

Ella Emhoff has me in tears. I don’t know if she was chiding Pence or propositioning him in front of Mother (Karen Pence, not Ella’s stepmom), but whatever she was doing I am here for it.

The slave-owning Thomas Jefferson beside abolitionist Frederick Douglass?

He negotiated lowered rates to rent several of his properties for filming with the clause that he make a cameo appearance. He initiated these appearances with the goal of increasing his fame and ubiquity on the New York scene. Hell, yes, he should be edited out. That’s not the same thing as removing the public record…

Are we taking bets? I put my money on Hepatitis-C.

Washed down with Jolt Cola!

What did nobody say, that Melania isn’t an American or that people who vote differently aren’t real Americans? The Trumpists say the second thing all the time about those of us who disagree with his insanity. The thing about Melania not being an American, a few commenters above said exactly that.

Or that people who vote differently than they do aren’t Real Americans(tm). Slippery slope, indeed.

When it’s over, it’s over. Quibbling about timelines and dates is ridiculous. Sure, okay, maybe he’s heartbroken. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move on. Why be more heartbroken that she possibly cheated on you than you would be for the relationship ending. Which one is worse? If I thought my wife was…

Ugh, it sounds more like a sequel and less like a reboot. I was holding out hope for an actual reboot, something that was in the vein of the old series but updated to have conversations about 20- and 30-somethings in this day and age. The original foursome and their drama hardly seem relevant at all in these times.

I read Fox News pretty regularly, not because I’m drinking their kool-aid but because I like to know what my enemy is doing and thinking about. I’ve actually noticed a trend upward in denouncing all of this foolishness (Trump, his incitements to violence, the resulting mobs) in the past few months, and spiking sharply…

What a strange and judgmental thing to say, calling her actions “bizarre”. You are comparing your situation at home with all the comforts of your daily life to her weeks of isolation in the wilderness without any luxury or entertainment. Spend some time by yourself and you’ll act a little weird, too. We create our own…

True, but at least with Chick-fil-A you get a product that nobody else does as well along with your side of intolerance. With Chris Pratt you just get the intolerance along with a character anyone at the level of Dane Cook could portray.

If my kid can calmly articulate what he wants, he probably gets it. If it’s iffy (too many sweets, too expensive a toy or too frequent request to buy a toy, etc.) I tell him I’m not convinced and give him a chance to lay out his justification or rationalization. If he does a good job of that, even if I still disagree…

I would greatly prefer sleeping alone. The light went out of my marriage about a decade ago, and my wife snores. I doubt that is a typical situation, though. I settle for a king bed where my wife’s cold feet find me less frequently at random times in the middle of the night. She also prefers to sleep without sheets,…

A compromise is when all parties involved get something, and also don’t get all they want. Getting non-binary physical dimorphism while still being stuck with binary pronouns is the definition of a compromise. It is, also by that same definition, not a perfect solution. As I went on to say in the sentence after the…

You probably know my sister. She was the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Also, being progressive just for the sake of being progressive, isn’t progressive.

Penny Arcade, whether you like the cartoon or not, nailed it with their “Kroger’s Avengers” comic. These are the generic, store-brand Avengers.
