“Holy shit, Drew. You need to get a grip, man. Listen, I suspect I’m probably not you’re typical reader. 41, balding investment guy, three kids, minivan, house in the suburbs...”

Reading these is uplifting. The same way that watching a Hooter’s Pageant once made me feel so much better that I had less cellulite than most of those women.

Do you think that every Trump voter, about half of the country,

The more I think about it, this convoluted attempt at math may be better. Less than 25% of the population did vote for him David.

I always love the amount of email you all get telling you that nobody cares about your opinion from people whose opinions nobody cares about.

You know how I learned from past mistakes?

if he thinks being president is hard on him, he should see what its doing to us.

Appropos of nothing, I knit the Kirsten doll a pussyhat last night. Its quite adorable. Also, I didn’t pre-read the Meet Kirsten book and then discovered after my tender-hearted 7yo read it that her BFF died of cholera on the boat from Sweden! Oops.

I got a Samantha for Christmas and she is also in excellent condition, but this is partly because she was so expensive I didn’t really get to “play” with her like I did my other dolls. I could change her clothes and play with her in my room, but I wasn’t allowed to touch her hair at all and I wasn’t allowed to take…

Those ideals tend to be hard to hold onto when you get bought by Mattel.

I had the Donny and Marie Osmond Barbies in the mid-’70s. They wore matching purple polyester outfits and had stigmata in their hands (for holding microphones and props, of course). I had pleaded for them for months and finally got them for Christmas.
