Sarah meant to say, “Paul Ryan and his elk...” It’s a well-known fact that, up in Alaska, all the bad guys have elk henchmen.

“Why don’t we just have the nominees square off in a giant mud pit while the electorate pelts them with clods of dirt and old lunch meat?”

agree, not fan of JLow, but Hillary can thank anyone she wants, any time.

That’s ok. There’s a whole article on Gawker about it right now. (And my about it, they too didn’t hear the song or sample and jumped on Hillary for merely thanking JLo for a song.)

Oops. I still don’t like the song but that makes sense and my snark was ill considered.

Not to mention that pulling off a three decade marriage is a bona fide success. This is not sad. Congratulations to them for their long relationship.

I guess if I’d been married for 40 years but miserable for the more recent years, maybe I'd be thinking that I don't want to continue the misery for the final years of my life? If you are in a good marriage, you are giving up a partner and friend for your remaining years. But if things aren't good, I don't know that…

If anything, everyone’s first concern should be that poor kid’s goddamn name. Boomer???

“Here, puppy! Come, Boomer, come! Gooooood puppy!”

Can we talk about the name “Boomer Robert Phelps” please?

This. I feel like law school gave me the toolbox to ask the right questions — it sure as hell didn't give me all the answers. ;)

Yeah, dude. Occasionally my husband will send me a dick pic because he thinks he’s being sexy, but… honestly? Seeing a disembodied dick just doesn’t do it for me. And it’s tough to explain to your spouse that while you do enjoy their genitalia in person, you really don’t need a photographic reminder of what it looks…

Hugs to you. My dad died after many years of degenerative disease. It was so sad. I had a huge hole in my heart. But each month it got easier. I can finally listen to Christmas music without crying. He sounded like Leslie Odom, Aaron Burr in Hamilton. May sweet memories fill your heart soon. So sorry for your loss but…

My deepest condolences to your family.

I work from home. She goes to school from home. I have come to accept that her and I are not going to have the typical “normal” schedule that people have- she usually cannot sleep at night at all. Sometimes she will fall asleep just as it starts getting light out. I cannot wake her up just because it is “normal” to be…

Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only be changed from one form to another. I agree with Einstein on this, and I hope she gets her clear headed pain free existence.

Such a hideous disease. I hope you have a wonderful Mothers Day tomorrow. I watched a grandparent slip away in the same way and it was such a tragedy when she died, but we were also happy that she was able to be free. Take care of yourself.

My Dad has it, so I know these feelings well. Soon you will remember her as she was, so people tell me, and that will be a comfort. My sympathies!

I’m very sorry for your loss. I went through something similar last month. The loss is incredibly painful but at the same time there is a degree of gratefulness in knowing one’s loved one may finally be at peace. Alzheimer’s is such a brutal disease for the patient and for those who love them. Again, I’m so sorry for…

I have a zillion projects to work on outside but the weather will not cooperate at all. I did manage to put up my little green house and plant some herbs so that made me happy. On Tuesday Big Foot announced that her one friend (the one she has frequently gotten into trouble with) would be moving in with us for one…
