I think he might not be totally trustworthy. I mean, I don’t know, but I’m starting to get a shifty feeling from him. Could just be me, though.

I’m going to guess that they’re going to get better at it. Eventually it’ll break through that you shouldn’t bother to take him at his word on anything.

Honestly, I think it’s really just that Fox News has been doing a terrific job of priming Republicans for this sort of thing. Remember when Fox News said that every other news organization was “in the tank” for Obama and that you could “unskew” the polls? What they were telling Republicans was that it was fine to…

No, I definitely get that, though I’m right on the Mass border, which makes it a wee bit more baffling. I’d bet up in north there are even more.

There’s one in my town in New Hampshire. ::sigh::

I find that a lot of Republicans (and some Democrats, too, but a LOT of the Republicans I know) have a very childish view of the world. They want there to be a simple and painless solution to all the problems of the world. It would be great if the solution to all of our fiscal woes was to cut taxes. Paying taxes…

The proposals I’ve seen have all said people 49 and under would be subject to the new plan. So, Gen X and younger. I asked my aunt, whose kids are all Gen X, how she felt about subjecting her children to this future, and she just shouted some nonsense about how they have to do this to “save” the program because it’s…

I think the thought is that people will see these posts and think, “Wow, AirBnB has really luxurious places for rich people to stay. I’m going to look and daydream about how awesome it would be if I could afford one.” Then they go look at the site and discover that there are places that regular people can afford,…

The minks we dissected in biology class in high school were from a fur farm, so it’s not like they’re just taking the fur and chucking the rest of the animal out, either.

I know a few people in Maine (I live right on the border of Maine and NH) who mostly eat only what meat they personally kill—primarily deer, but also chickens they raise and fish they catch. Honestly, I think it’s more ethically defensible than eating the meat I get at the supermarket. Killing the animal yourself…

My uncle is a biologist, mainly studying the life cycles of certain trees in the Northeast. He calls deer “rats with long legs”, since they’re effectively pests. Pretty pests, but pests nonetheless.

I once said the name of the person I was having sex with and he stopped what he was doing and said, “What?” That was the last time I did that.

“the greatest trick the *millionaire ever pulled was convincing the hundredaire...”

Seriously! Many of the people she’s trying to convince think that gay sex is gross and ought to be illegal. But having sex with a dog? Well, that’s just none of their business. What?

Publicist: “Listen, Alessandra, we really need you to mention the revolve.com line. That’s basically the only reason we’re doing this thing. Just shoehorn it in however you can. You’ll think of something.”

My sense with Tom Cruise is not that there’s anything nefarious there, and he’s not even gay. He’s just dumb as a box of hammers but also very charismatic. Thomas Lennon said that when you meet him, there’s something about him that makes you feel like if you just stay with him, everything will be okay. But he’s…

Also, most kids are now rearfacing until they’re at least two years old, which makes it more likely that they’ll fall asleep (not as much stimulating scenery to look at). And then when you get to wherever you think you were supposed to go, you look back and don’t see the cherubic face of your sleeping child, you see…

That happened to me once. My husband was traveling for work and I wasn’t getting enough sleep. It was one of those days when I was rushing to get out of the house and I got the toddler outside and in the car and then remembered that I had left something sitting on the porch (about 20 feet away). I close the door of…

Everyone who winds up endorsing Trump makes that same face. Chris Christie, Mike Pence, Ted Cruz—that pained, oh-god-what-have-I-done smile seems to be a side effect. Pretty sure Donald Trump is some kind of fantasy monster who eats souls and that’s what it looks like when the victim realizes what has happened.

That’s why I stopped watching. “These people are too dumb to survive the apocalypse. I’m out.”
