I dunno about McBride but Sudeikis always comes off like an ass, even during interviews.

It’s pretty much the job of every parent to be perilously mortifying to their kids, isn’t it? Some kind of law of nature?

Because the State Department doesn’t tell you why your visa application is denied. They don’t tell you anything.

I know someone who does know the truth of the matter, or at least, as close as you're going to get - the California judge who made the decision. Just read it: http://harris-ginsberg.com/wp-content/upl…

tbh, could not think of a more clever way to distract from the fact that mccarthy basically said the bengahazi hearings were a political tool against a hillary clinton presidency

Precisely. The GOP is further and further giving into its lunatic Tea Party base, even though, by all accounts, those folks don’t even represent a majority in people who identify as Republican.

I am a big, blubbery, bleeding heart liberal, but this is just ridiculous. There have definitely been some very offensive costumes posted on here, this isn’t one of them.

... is it insensitive to go as a dead lion? Like. I’m genuinely asking this because I really don’t know where the line is anymore.

Yep.

So we’re basically at the point where only a straight-up masochist would want to be the Speaker?

In a room full of narcissistic thieves no one wants to step up to lead and become the next fall guy.

The GOP is fracturing! We’re seeing a major party break apart in our time - this hasn’t really happened since the Republicans displaced the Whigs, has it?

honestly, it could be amazing if Boehner came back, everyone is seeing how fucked they would be without him, so he might as well come back and be loved by everyone

what happens if no one gets 218?

This is actually kind terrifying?

As a glasses wearer, rule number one if you know you’re going to be in for a long kiss/make out: take the glasses off. The last thing you want is greasy face schmear all over your corrective lenses.

I think there’s a difference between a lack of chemistry kiss and a plain old terrible kiss.

I mean.

My husband was a sub-par kisser when we met. But with time, patience and a little—- okay, a lot—- of alcohol, I showed him what gets my toes curled. Never once did I mention my disappointment in his kissing abilities; I just took the lead and kissed him in the way that I want/ed to be kissed. Now, I want to kiss him…

And this is why I always get my sex/relationship advice from Dan Savage and not the Guardian - brilliant as it is in all other accounts.
