My Mormon Tabernacle Choir Inauguration story:

As I’ve seen pointed out, it’s probably only Bruce Johnston and Mike Love that have been asked and are responding as “The Beach Boys”.

It’s almost like they have hypocrisy down to a science.

I sat across from her in her office in Milan a few times, as a model. It was terrifying. She suffered no fools. And yet, what a show she made of being a powerful woman who was utterly at home in her power.

Me:

People need to let THAT sink in for a minute. Glenn Beck & Lindsey Graham were voices of reason in this election...

To be honest, I thought Kaine really dropped the ball during the VP debate. He was so focused on making Pence defend the big angry Cheeto that he totally neglected to highlight Pence’s horrifying record.

They said they didn’t think he’d really do it. So you voted for him on the off chance he wouldn’t do what he said he would. Smart move. He’s also not bringing back coal jobs but good luck treating that black lung.

But, emails...

Caribou/reindeer are one of my all time favorite animals. I even have a caribou track tattoo that goes up my back and over my shoulder.

I realize this isn’t the point of this article, but I’m so fucking sick and tired of people saying “get over it” and “don’t be so sensitive” when someone is being insulting. If you always have to make jokes at other people’s expense to be funny, you are not funny. You are sad.

To them it may mean something about Jesus and all that, but to me they’re wishing that I spend merry day with my family, which is a…

But it wasn’t random, Cho has been talking about this for a long time and bemoaned the lack of discourse about it. So when someone reached out to have that exact conversation she turned it into a comedy bit to shame that person. Great way to encourage the dialogue you say you seek.

Because apparently white people are not allowed to ask POC questions about racial issues. They are supposed to magically glean a nuanced, deep, and 100% perfect understanding of the issues via Google because having a productive and earnest conversation with a real human is expecting too much.
