A guy my husband works with has a ridiculous 8-pack (which he is happy to show anyone whether they ask or not). He spends a couple hours a day in the gym, eats a VERY carefully planned diet that, frankly, sounds terrible, and uses some... let’s say pharmacological aids. It doesn’t seem worth it, honestly.

That statement’s not for us, right? It’s so easily verifiably false that I feel like the real point of it is to make sure that none of O’Reilly’s supporters start thinking twice about subscribing to O’Reilly’s website or buying his books. It’s just got to sound plausible to people who easily believe that Barack Obama…

My five year old daughter asked me for something the other day and I said “Maybe.” My three year old got all excited, but my five year old looked at him and said, “Maybe doesn’t mean yes, buddy.” Shit, she’s on to me.

You can pass bills that negatively impact the deficit through reconciliation, but only if they sunset after ten years. It’s why the Bush tax cuts had a 10 year expiration.

I heard that there were some personality issues and that’s why Greg got sent to Atlanta. :-( I do miss him, though. I sometimes watch “Greg’s Drinking Song” because it’s so hilarious.

Don’t tell Mrs. Hole. I get why it feels like the right thing to do, and it’s easy to say that in the same situation you’d want to know. But it’s not you in this situation—it’s her. And you don’t actually know her. She might be a lovely, delightful person. But she might also be a kind of crazy person or someone who…

I think that I remember someone saying that of the justices, Clarence Thomas is one of the most well loved by the people who staff the court. Sometimes people who hold really vile ideas can be personable and friendly. The world is a complicated and unsettling place.

Just go watch The Long Hot Summer, since it’s basically just one long “Paul Newman Sexy” picture. (And Orson Welles with a weird prosthetic nose)

There’s a part of me that hopes they don’t want children and instead just decide to be the world’s coolest aunt and uncle to Will and Kate’s kids.

Can we talk about that mugshot, though? That’s the happiest I’ve ever seen someone look when they’ve been arrested for murder.

And episodes of basically every single police and forensic procedural show still on the air.

The thing is that their opportunity to do healthcare “reform” with reconciliation (the way that they can do it with only 50 + Pence votes in the Senate) runs out at the end of this week. After that, since you can only use reconciliation for one thing per year, they either have to recommit to healthcare “reform” or…

So much cheese. So many potatoes. And every fucking thing is fried but is somehow soggy. ::shivver:: It’s really awful.

It’s shitty that they were defending him in the first place. I’m not holding them up as paragons of virtue. I’m just saying that it’s nice to have this to kind of go, “Still want to defend him? No? So strange, that.” And watch them squirm.

I really hate that people feel the need to make that distinction in cases where it isn’t actually relevant. Like this one.

Why can’t white people say the n-word? For the same reason I can call my sister a bitch but you’d better not.

I’m sure there are plenty of people who are cool with it, but the people I knew defending him before don’t seem to want to have anything to do with this. And they’re primarily D&D dorks (which I say with all affection because I actually have really enjoyed playing D&D in the past)

Yeah, that part about them only counting miscarriages after 20 weeks made my blood run a little cold. If your pregnancy is wanted, all miscarriages are upsetting, but the ones after 20 weeks are often the REALLY devastating ones.

Actually, I think this is kind of helpful. I knew a lot of people who, when he got fired, were like, “But he has these reasonable ideas and I can’t believe you guys won’t discuss them and boy, I didn’t realize how the left is anti-science, too.” It’s nice to have this article to say, “Still want to defend this guy…

That... would explain a lot, actually.
