I mean, the last time I went to Europe the gov’t did pay for it, but I assure you it was under very different circumstances (going to play in the mud with the Army in Germany). No one even offered to let me meet the Queen.

But will she show up for public testimony?

“Ms. Clark stated she did not realize the tweets were public,” the review said, according to a copy obtained by the Post.

And that’s taking into account that women candidates are usually more qualified than their male counterparts, because men are socialized to think “f*ck it, I could be Senator/ Governor/ President” whereas women are conditioned to think “I need to be the most qualified person possible before I even think about running.”

I’m sure he’s going to write a book, run for Senate, or try to be a talking head on cable news and just wants some name ID.

to help elect women on the “center-right and the right” who are fatigued by identity politics but still feel they aren’t “necessarily represented” in politics, according to the organization

I’m over all these people who try to take the mic away from candidates (there have been more than just this guy). It’s cheap stunt, you aren’t convincing anyone, no one is listening to you, and all you are doing is screwing a bunch of people out of the event they took time out of their day to go see.  All of the above…

Yea, outside of legislation, court documents, and like, medical texts, I have a pretty casual relationship with spelling and most grammar rules. Language is about communication- if you get the message then it’s being done right, regardless of how “right” it is. 

Cathrine of Aragon is in the same boat, and doubly so considering that her name was original in Spanish, then was Anglicized when she married Henry, and in both languages it was spelled multiple ways.

Spelling bees occupied such a weird time between “it really doesn’t matter how you spell things” (seriously, look at some of say- the founding father’s letters. People would spell the same word different ways, includes names) and “we have autocorrect now, so you really don’t need to know how to spell every word.” It’s…

Yea, it turns out that when these right-wing “Christian” types are forced to choose between their “morals” and their money, they mostly go for the money. Boycott these fools. 

While I totally understand that the primary victims of this law are the women of Georgia, I think a lot of the takes, even by well-meaning activists, of “you should still spend all your money filming here for X reasons” really ignores that doing so means putting women who work for these companies in a very real…

Good. I know some people in Georgia aren’t a huge fan of this boycott, but I also think it is irresponsible for a company to ask a large part of it’s workforce to work in a place where their medical issues won’t be taken seriously. The last thing an employee of Disney wants is to be worried that if she miscarries she…

Yea, I imagine that it all just looks like a scene from “Major League.”

Fidel Castro—who is dead

Hopefully they all get their little ego boost and drop out after the first debate when it becomes obvious that they don’t have a shot at the title. I’m honestly kind of annoyed at the number of people who could be running competitive house/senate/governors races but are dicking around with the presidential instead.

I’m interested to see what happens to the polls once some of the real bottom-tier candidates get enough publicity for their book and drop out. I think Beto will survive that initial round of people leaving, but I am curious what happens to him after that. I wouldn’t place my money on him being the nominee (and I liked…

I mean, it’s possible. But based on some other evidence, I think it was equally likely that the dog just wasn’t very smart (but again, very sweet). 

My parents dog HATED the lovely old couple who lived up the street and loved the crackhead who dealt meth in town. She was a sweet dog, but not a great judge of character. 

He is also apparently unaware of how “Sandinista” is spelled.
