I know the pope thing was heartbreaking to me! I didn’t think I had a heart to break. Snl makes some of these people oddly endearing. Conway and the trump brothers characters really have made me feel a the tiniest iota of affection for them.

Sure we all thought the turnout would be low and it was on a knife edge until like, yesterday! And in fairness, it wasn’t an easy sell, not at all, it was a hard, gruelling, complicated sell, but people listened to all our stories and pleas and arguments and bought it. Yay!

I guess my feelings of hatred towards Spicer (embodied so terrifically by Melissa M.) started to shift when Trump purposefully excluded the fervent Roman Catholic from an audience with the Pope. Just to be mean.

After the atrocities of the Magdalene laundries, human trafficking, and pedophilia, the Catholic Church has zero standing to engage in any debate about women and children’s rights from now until forever.

Minor quibble, but I don’t really “appreciate” that about the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church committed mass crimes against women (unwed mothers) and children, not just in terms of the horrific level of clergy child abuse, but also in terms of how babies of unwed mothers were treated, in Ireland. In my view, they…

I will never forget or forgive the people that elected this baboon’s ass.

Ugh. Fuck all of them seriously. And it bothers me knowing they think they’re some of the good ones.

Except the proposed Amazon site is in South Riding, which means even more people will be on the already ridiculously-congested highway 28 to get to work.

I’m not LGBTQ, but I’ve visited Shepherdstown, and the place seems like it’d be a great fit. If you’re a city lover, you can visit—or even commute to—D.C. But right in town there are arts, food, theater, friendly people...I love Shepherdstown.

Your post made this pessimist girl’s heart grow. Thank you.

I live in a small town in West Virginia that is about a 5 hour drive from Parkersburg in the Eastern Panhandle. We have successfully past many non-discrimination ordinances here in Shepherdstown and welcome trans community members. I want to invite Jocelyn to move here and apply for jobs in our lovely town. Now that…

For any non-parents who are wondering if this is just the new normal or whatever, my son is 9 years old and his interneting consists of selections from the “floof” cannon and Paddington’s Twitter account (which is pure, undiluted JOY, by the way - read it when you are having a crap day). And he has an iPad and…

I did the same. Grandparent’s day at school made me very sad, but Mr. Rogers showed me it was ok to be sad. Couldn’t ask for a better pretend grandfather.

Yeah, I couldn’t get through the trailer without tearing up. I never had a grandfather growing uo so as a kid I would watch Mr. Rogers and pretend for an hour or so every day that I had a loving grandfather to tell me stories.

You should read the Daily Mail excerpt, it’s loaded with goodies. One of the things is Charles and Camilla always travel by private jet, and the way the jets have to be outfitted is a nightmare.

Demanding booze on-hand at all times

Why do you think Rex T made such a deal of reminding his staff, and all the people he worked with at the DoD, of their oath to defend the constitution?

Yea and he was like 30 when she was like 12 (at least on the show- don’t remember the book). Which I thought was REALLY awesome when I was about 12. Less so now that I have a 12 year old.
