“Shut up, Donny!”

Christopher Hitchens, the world is a little stupider in your absence. You are missed.

Freezer burnt foods are very useful for stews, chili, and other types of dishes where a whole bunch of different stuff gets thrown together and spiced/seasoned up. It beats throwing the stuff out.

Surprised about the luke warm reviews of Shameless this season. I have quite enjoyed watching how the characters, particularly Frank, try to become their “best selves”, yet get pulled back into their lifelong habits. I have found myself cheering for many of them to actually transcend the “white trash” roles that they…

How about nausea and diarrhea? If not food poisoning, these have to be slam dunks for the flu, right?

I cut the cable because of these asshats and get most of my news from NPR.

#MeToo

States’ rights be damned when the shoe is on the other cloves hoof.

Yep! Go for it, old man!

I hope he sticks to his guns and goes to the ethics committee. All of these “gropings” have occurred publicly, in front of crowds of people, and are pretty subjective (squeezing someone’s waist while getting a photo taken is groping???). Conflating Franken’s behaviour with that of the other high profile creeps like…

Burl Ives meets Clarence Darrow. Just saying...

Hoisted on his own petard! A phrase I have never in my 54 years have ever found the opportunity to write or say but I’m glad to have the opportunity now. Now I hope that it proves fatal to his presidency.

So... most of these complaints about Franken refer to things he is alleged to have done in very public places with an audience. It’s doubtful (I would presume) that he was intending to do anything clandestine that he would have wanted to cover up. The case with Franken is a different beast IMHO than the cases of most…

I respectfully disagree. He has done a mea culpa and has voluntarily subjected himself to a Senate Ethics Committee hearing. Pending the result of that, unless they vote to ditch him, it is the job of the electorate in 2018 to decide whether they want him to continue representing them. I don’t believe any of the…

I suspect that this is something he probably didn’t even remember considering that all of them were on a whirlwind tour of the troops, probably sleep deprived, and also because this is the first time that Leeann has said anything about it since.

What an uncanny resemblance.

No way mad cow disease would take him down. It’s impossible for the prion that causes the disease to infect itself. He’s like walking talking chlamydia that can’t be infected by another chlamydia bacterium.

Yep - for me hoppy beers give me a stomach ache. I am relegated to non-hoppy ales, lagers, stouts, etc... The whole hoppy IPA thing seems kind of like a fad to me. That is one thing for the mass-produced beer - few of them actually taste horrible... they just don’t taste like much. :)

Same thing with me - I drink craft beer because the mass produced stuff gives me wicked headaches. I also love stouts and there aren’t any mass produced domestic stouts out there (at least in Canada) and I want to support local brewers.
