If you read Tina Fey’s kinda sorta a biography, you read about her large scar on the side of her face she got in a childhood injury. On the show they do a lot of hide it, I think. It’s pretty clear it is a defining characteristic and her first steps on the ‘I’m not that pretty’ train. Add to that nerd hobbies WAAAYYYY…

There is nobody so charming as an abusive man. They have to cultivate those skills to entrap their partners.

You just made me think... I wonder who owns the company that handled the water, once it was changed from shitty Detroit water, to Flint water. Follow that cash trail...

I can’t think about Steely Dan without remembering Clementine from Reno 911, and her tattoo that used to read “Steed” that she had edited to read “Steely Dan”. When she was briefly fired from the sheriff’s department, she became a groupie. They are very talented and I like a lot of their music, but I never felt real…

If I find out something terrible about Geddy Lee, I may just have to commit seppuku.

FINALLY we have a news item about a celebrity musician whom all the over-40 Jezzies can make/recognize lyrics puns for. “And when you smile for the camera [in your mug shot], I know they’re gonna love it” etc.

Also, at the speed Ben Carson converses at almost anything is a long conversation.

Who would intentionally sign up for a lifetime of marginalization, abuse and difficulty?

But I am gay AND left handed!

It’s hard to explain if you have never worked with mentally challenged children, but that type of contemplation is common among those with cognitive disabilities. In many situations, they are looking for the “right” answers, almost like a people pleasing mechanism on steroids. He might not have any mental illnesses,…

I think the situation may be easier to grapple with if the interrogators were sociopaths hell-bent on framing a kid. The more discomforting expanation is that systems which replace human judgment and accountability with procedural authority may as a side effect produce such results. May even, in some corners of the…

How he was not granted a new trial after the investigator straight up admitted - no hemming and hawing, or beating around the bush - that they were trying to help the prosecutions’ case against Steven by coercing a false confession out of him. They had videotaped evidence! I feel another rage stroke coming on.

I’ve worked with teens who deal with mental disabilities. Brendan Dassy broke my heart. When he said he answered the officers questions how he answered on his Homework, by “guessing” I almost threw my computer out the window I was so angry. Every system failed that boy. Any form of early intervention failed him, the…

As I was reading your post, I was thinking, what is it lately with these guys whose last name is Dear? I realize the shooter from Colorado Springs PP is white and the suspect in this case is not, but it was just a weird coincidence. My god, both events are horrible.

One of them is my fault :-/ I tried to flag the comment, but I’m on my phone and I accidentally starred it instead.

I totally agree. Also: if it were true - what do you (not you of course, the general you) gain from it? And next: if your great-great-greatgrandmother was a black slave, well, then most probably your great-great-greatgrandfather was a slave owner and a rapist, right? So, what do you want to prove again? (Not you,…

I would like to deeply apologize for the above comment. When I said “so long Jerkbags”, I didn’t mean to imply that the rest of you are, in fact, Jerkbags. I was suffering from exhaustion at the time and have deep respect for the Jerkbag community.

Wait, we’re allowed to opt out of it? Finally. So long jerkbags!

instead of this BS debate can we all just gather together and be outraged about Ron’s lack of fiery ginger locks?
