Yeah, that office party got a little out of hand, but when the gang went to P. J. Clarke’s that seemed like fun. Except for Peggy.

At least it’s not named “Quality” Italian. Plenty of places in New York use quote marks for emphasis but it comes off as irony or snark. Like the little corner diner that has “world famous” coffee. As if you could call some random stranger abroad and they would say, “yes, I have heard of the coffee served at that…

I will vouch for that, and in doing so I will doxx myself. I am a non-German who chose, for whatever reasons, to do a dual study in Economics and German, everything about Germans, the language, the culture, the history. So, a big part of my education was focused on the German economy, and what I really wanted to learn…

A friend sent this to me last night. Watching this made me break. It was cathartic, almost fun in a way.

This is how it begins:

Are you in Boston or the Boston area? Have you seen this map?

I think you mean George H. W. Bush, in 1988.

Try to get your hands on the sequel, “Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.” I think because it’s a sequel it doesn’t make it on to those lists of Worst Movies Ever Made but it really deserves a spot near the top.

My black lab hasn’t left my side since the election results started trickling in on Tuesday night. I work from home so we’re usually together but not usually on top of each other. Now the work is piling up and I have completely thrown off our sleep schedules and foolishly planned a dozen things to do this weekend…

But will people want a dedicated bathtub faucet that dispenses only Trump fragrances?

If she were born on a US military base no. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Mitt Romney’s father, George, who also ran for President, wasn’t ruled out because he was born in Mexico, as he had American-born parents (when George Romney was born there was this Mormon-run little safety community across the…

Christine O’Donnell

I have a worse story. I am my sister’s son’s godfather. He looks exactly like me, because he inherited all the genes from our side of the family in the same way that I inherited all the genes from my family on my father’s side.

And this is part of the reason why we get a reality TV show host as president. At least Simon Cowell, by way of his well-publicized Britishness, won’t be following Trump into the White House in 2020 or 2024.

Last spring I went as a guest to a dinner that was basically a Hillary fundraiser/get-out-the-primary-vote event, although I didn’t know it. I might have been the only non-Jewish person there. I foolishly said to my table-mates, “When Al Gore chose Joe Lieberman for VP there was dancing in the streets, and Joe…

I’m a gay man who has no sexual interest in women and is child-free. Former Bernie-Bro but joined Team Hillary. I voted for Hillary enthusiastically thinking of my goddaughters and my nieces (and my own sanity) and really for anyone under the age of 18.

Are you stateside? Apparently Trump’s plan is to stay in NATO but make the host countries pay for it, and pull out of Japan and South Korea and give them nukes (they almost surely have them already) as compensation. If you’re in the Middle East or Afghanistan those plans are a little vague.

We kind of are/were. As of 7:43 AM Eastern time Hillary got about 20,000 more votes than Trump (out of about 120 million cast.)

I’d go and tough it out, might as well get used to it. And I guarantee you soon enough Trump is going to have to start putting together a Cabinet, some members of which will piss off your family, and soon enough legislation will be crossing his desk that he’ll have to sign or veto, which will further piss off your…
