All I have to offer: Big Cats in boxes

That any of you talk to us is a miracle. Very sorry this happened to you.

Precisely

Yes of course all lives matter. It’s just that some lives are under greater threat than others.

I hate this idea that people who think maybe we need a few less guns are motivated by fear. No - it’s not fear, but rational concern. All you have to do is look at the facts to see what having a gun-saturated society has done to us. It’s the gun nutters who are driven by fear - even as crime goes down they need more…

If I wrote seven articles a day for years I would still not write something that stupid and sexist.

And here's an upcoming documentary on the subject

When I was a small child, I had an actual pony. How my grad student parents pulled that of, I don’t know. His name was T.P., a Shetland. And he was evil. He threw me every single time we rode. At some point he had enough, and tossed me. Every single time. Probably explains many things. I’m sure he is still alive, as…

Julius Caesar was not an emperor, so he certainly wasn’t the first emperor of Rome.

Well, it is true that “planet” means “wandering star.”

Eh, she’s still an idiot.

You know CJ, I usually have no complaints here, but seriously? Regional dialect bigotry? Ok. BTW - life-long southerner, haven’t head anyone use “coke” in that way since the 1970s. I suppose there are a few holdouts.
