That is precisely the word I was looking for...”charm”.

She’s been living in an actual “Full House”/Hallmark script in her head for so long, she thinks this zany parenting “misunderstanding” can be resolved with a sweet smile in less than 30 minutes, including a commercial break.

You think Mossimo is more famous than Aunt Becky? She is instantly recognizable.

1) Never commit crimes that involve crossing state lines, the postal service, or banks. That’s how you end up in Federal Court.

You’d be surprised at how not true this is. There’s a whole system of prisons devoted to rich (or formerly so) people behaving badly. And it’s not like the popular culture idea of it either (cushy, conjugal visits etc).

Yes, because the FBI would invest resources into furthering the extent of the investigation this far, and into additional charges, and court costs without getting their pounds of flesh out (real prison time) of it.

She thinks the “rich person card” will come into play and she’ll get out of it.

Felicity’s statement was probably drafted by an attorney, but it felt genuine, and Felicity seems like the type of person who was well intended, but just didn’t think it through.

Say what you will about Felicity Huffman, she was smart enough to get out of this. She’ll get a fine, some community service and move on with her life.  Loughlin is going to jail and will be the face of this case forever.

Going broke for medicine or dying sooner to own the libs.

I’m a little bit of an odd duck when it comes to how I view the intersection of business and medicine. Part of that comes from having taught in a hospital system for a short time (and having seen the way it worked prior to the ACA), and part of that comes from being related—by marriage—to a chemical engineer who…

The fucking ignorance of any common working person who still votes for these whores is simply mind blowing.

20% is my go to for good-to-great service. Excellent service gets 25%. Ultra-excellent service actually can see me give 30%+. Yes, I do that actually quite a bit where I regularly go and get that ultra excellent service. I never blink at the bill even when its well over $100 and it comes to a tip. And that’s not…

45 is just going to start killing people soon. Or directly order it and see if any of his lackeys will propagate the order. I don’t think he actually gives a shit about judges at this point.  

It’s becoming apparent that Trump’s moved to the “I’ll just do whatever I want then blame the ‘liberal courts’ when I don’t get my way,” phase of his presidency.

The entire reason for a tip in America has been perverted over the years. It was once a “thank you” for above par service. It is now considered compulsory because the establishment doesn’t want to pay a living wage. They defer their labor expense to the customer. And that’s fine if they want to include a mandatory and…

Maybe people would tip more if you didn’t call them fucking jerks? Seems entitled to me. People don’t have to tip 20% and you can’t force them to. Maybe find a different job if waiting tables is so shitty. 

I find tipping sanctimonious, and at its core, wrong. The system exists so that companies can pass their expenses on to their customers and so that customers feel good about themselves when they tip generously and shame others that tip less. Maybe that’s why tipping has escalated so much. 20 years ago a tip of 15% was…

Sorry but no. My wife worked thru college as a hostess, waitress, bartender and now she’s a GM of a restaurant so she has some experience and we always tip at least 15% if the server was competent and their job. We tip more if the server was great but we have tipped less is the service was shit. We know that sometimes…

20% as a standard gratuity is unreasonable. I was a server not so long ago (at a nice restaurant in a rich neighborhood) and I never expected a 20% tip. If I got 10-13% or less I would either assume that I’d done something wrong or the person was stingy, but anything 15% or above I was happy. Very few customers tip…

Tip what ever the fuck you want.  I’m not your dad.
