Of course you should. But you should also not be surprised since the GOP controls Congress and, thus, the committees.

Well, in a bit of good news (for once!) McCrory conceded today!

?

Here is a list of every member of the House Science Committee. Start calling them, now.

The difference is that the GOP now controls all branches of government. In the Bush years we had at least one Democrat-controlled house of Congress throughout. In the Obama and Clinton years we had a Democrat in the White House. There is literally no one to blame the next two to four years on but the GOP.

I also don’t think we’re really arguing with the alt-right. We can’t let the alt-right escape scrutiny, but the vast majority of people we’re talking about committing these kinds of public harassment incidents are by and large your average American who now feels empowered to say in public the thing they’ve been…

It’s happening here in Chicago too and it just baffles me. But I’m also relishing the coming opportunities to shut down racists in public. They’re not going to like the backlash.

Right like on the one hand I understand that and on the other hand I am so sure you can find private billionaires a LITTLE closer to your age. Late 30s, early 40s. Even mid-30s. Their immediate skip to men in their mid- to late-50s is what boggles me so completely.

On the one hand, I am very clear on the fact that the Olsen twins and I have lived vastly, vastly different lives culminating in vastly, vastly different priorities, needs, wants, and haves.

I dunno, please step in if we can’t hold off a Holocaust this time either.

I actually saw that commercial on television the other day and was so completely and utterly confused about what the woman in it was supposed to be stressed about. I thought maybe they were coworkers or friends who had been mean to her and I just missed the beginning of the commercial. I was utterly baffled.

If you’re actually curious about this (and I know I am a couple months late to this comment), I would really recommend reading (in full or just the chapters on drag) the book “Gay New York” by George Chauncy. It’s focused on late 19th centruy to pre-WWII gay male culture and goes into depth with drag, how it was…

The irony is, America was instrumental in setting the incredibly rigid standards in Germany for hate speech and teaching about the Holocaust as we negotiated and executed the end of WWII.

If the Supreme Court could decide the presidency in 2000, can’t it please step in and end this one for the literal good of the entire world?

Not even a little bit.

A friend of mine noted that art therapy is part of a holistic substance abuse recovery program. I hope he is more capable of understanding the hell he unleashed upon this world. This part of the caption, “...remarkable men and women who were injured carrying out my orders.” makes me think it might be sinking in, 13…

All day.

The early voting sites here in Chicago had little blue traffic cones at certain distances around the entrances that said, in white, NO ELECTIONEERING BEYOND THIS POINT. I have to admit, every single time I saw one the Radiohead song popped into my head.

My polling place is the school across the street. Since I’m working one of the late shifts on Election Day - 6:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. though I hope this is over and called well before I’m leaving work - I obviously went out drinking last night, got home at 4 a.m., set my alarm for 8 a.m. and hit snooze four times before…

Somewhere a fifth grader is looking at another fifth grader, confused, and whispering, “Don’t they know... those.. are clouds?”
