UCLA has a well-established animal-assisted therapy program, and Gary is a registered therapy dog. Carrie’s daughter probably flashed his registration card and brought him in with no problem.

I am as well, which is why it worries me that I’m so ready to say “fuck ‘em.”

I’m normally a pretty compassionate person, but this election has turned me into an “I got mine” bitch.

Especially when he’s cool with all sorts of other fluids on his bedsheets!

On the flip side, most of the guys I know don’t want to have kids. You’d think they’d be turning cartwheels at the mention of a period coming on schedule.

Mad that the electoral college didn’t accurately reflect the actual votes cast in November?

How a guy reacts to the concept of my having a period has turned out to be a fantastic litmus test for whether I want him in my life.

Interdimensional soap operas.

So glad he reappeared!

You don’t always get to choose the level or context of discourse. Telling people they’re being dumb wouldn’t help anything, especially when they’re already essentially telling me I’m being dumb.

Oh, I’m sure they do.

Please point them to me, a Jew who supports Israel but does not support the policies of the Likkud government.

We’re about the same age - I’m 44 and grew up in California. I gape at friends who go on about how fun the ‘80s were - “Constant threat of nuclear war? That ring a bell? Just me?” Guess so.

What’s happened is that a sizeable chunk of Detroit’s voting machines are broken. In about 60% if precincts, the number of ballots recorded as cast didn’t exactly match the number of machine records. Michigan law says that if those two numbers don’t match for a precinct, then there’s no recount.

Total lie, but this whole election has been about choosing to believe that one’s preferred fiction is fact.

I get it, kind of. When you’re desperate, you’ll try anything. Trump got up there and said he could bring their jobs back, so they’re willing to give him a shot at it. They have no idea how he’s going to do it, but they’re unbothered by him not presenting a plan. He’s a smart guy, they say. He’ll make it happen.

That sounds like about the right time frame, if the blue-collar Pennsylvania voters Politico interviewed are any indication.

Well, yeah.

Once again, in hopes that you’ll read it this time: 200-odd years ago, America’s founders decided that we would not punish people for the actions of their parents. That’s what you’re talking about doing.

When #SaveDACA was trending on Twitter last week, I joined in. DACA isn’t perfect, but it’s allowed so many people I know to breathe a little easier.
