haha he was on TV last night and I looked over to my mother and said “oh goddamn, he is STILL so handsome.”

Like many working mothers, she worried about the expectations and judgments of how she should handle the trade-offs, knowing that few people would question my choices. And the reality was that when our girls were young, I was often away from home serving in the state legislature, while also juggling my teaching…

I’ve always loved this video. The smug look he gives Michelle is everything.

MY OVARIES - I think they’ve exploded.

I forgot all about that. It also used to be acceptable to show an angel on one shoulder and a devil on another, but somehow that became offensive. There is a lot of stuff from my childhood that really was offensive, but that is one that I have to admit I don't understand.

Keep in mind, she was one of the first to float the idea of voting for trump specifically so that he could burn the nation down in the hopes of building something in the ashes.

Seriously, I’ve needed this phrase in my life for DECADES.

My husband opined last night that Tim Kaine looks like “a doofus”. I told him he’s an idiot. And he is voting for Hillary.

My grandmother used to haul out this old New England chestnut: “you kids are runnin’ around like a fart in a mitten!”

We live in the age of participation trophies. They are under the impression that they should get something for 2nd(last) place. The president and vp were much nicer than I would have been. Good on them though. That’s why we elected them.

YOUR FIREARMS ARE USELESS AGAINST THEM!

This quote from Neil Gaiman about political correctness has stuck with me:

Don’t forget the whole subsequent dance of, “She has to earn our vote.” Hillary says conciliatory things directly for their benefit. “She’s pandering. What about issues x, y and z?” Those have been in her campaign action items for months if not years. “She’s copying Bernie. Put them in the platform.” All of those…

I don’t get it! My side didn’t win... but why isn’t this week all about us?

that’s what i’m sayin’! so you wind up with a certain demographic, usually very privileged and those who have to work, have kids, lack transportation, etc etc are left in the dust. i don’t know how they remain, i really don’t.

I follow a woman I call “Crazy Bernie Lady” on facebook. She posts countless articles from Bernie or Bust groups about how the DNC participated in Election Fraud (everything from de-registering Bernie people, giving them the wrong ballots to whiting out ballots in California). So yes, there exists people that believe…

That ducttape thing is gold. (The pee thing is yikes.)

I’m saying they didn’t have to sink.

My friend went into a Target yesterday, and saw a bunch of onesies that said “Future President” in with the boy baby clothes. There were no such onesies on the girl baby clothes side. She took half of them off the rack and moved them to the girl side, which is why we are friends.
