Judge Aaron Persky joins Judge Jean Hudson Boyd (of affluenza kid notoriety) in the “rich white boys will be boys” sentencing hall of fame.

Don’t count him out. Everything time Big Head lands on “Go back one space” in the game of life it sends him forward 10 spaces.

I always recommend that people who like “Veep” also seek out “The Thick of It,” Ianucci’s original show. His movie “In the Loop” is also fantastic.

For future reference: if it involves the rape of a post-pubescent woman, it’s a Baptist scandal; if it involves the rape of a pre-pubescent boy, it’s a Catholic scandal.

Never feel sorry for a grifter. They may not be fully aware of what they’re doing, but they’re still dangerous predators. When they get involved in medicine people can die. I hope they send her to the slammer.

“Mom said I didn’t clean my room, but she’s a loser because my room was always clean. Sad!”

Anecdotally, the number of women I’ve known over the years who’ve confided in me that they were sexually assaulted leads me to believe it’s at least 1 in 4.

We need a Monster Manual entry for the surprisingly powerful Greedy Orange Troll.

Desperate people prone to magical thinking and a sense that they’re entitled to happiness are alway prime prey for self-aggrandizing con men like this. See also the prospective GOP candidate for President.

It takes imagination and talent to visit the salad bar at Applebees to take the pulse of Real Americans(tm) or to discover the font of geopolitical wisdom that is the International Brotherhood of Cabbies Who Drive Me from the Airport to the 5-Star Hotel. That kind of talent costs money, my friend.

Sounds a lot like how the Cheney administration approached Iraq.

The structures in the Constitution, however wise (checks and balances) or flawed (the electoral college) don’t have any bearing on how the parties choose their nominees. A party can put rules in place as it likes, and one would hope that those rules will be applied equally to all candidates for a nomination.

It doesn’t prove anything and isn’t meant to. It’s an example of how kids can be a closing point even in a marriage that isn’t a closing point in and of itself. That particular marriage might have continued post-kids instead of ending in divorce, but it would not have been a happy one.

Exactly. Sanders and his BernieBros need to understand that Dems will no longer stand for things like closing corporate tax loopholes, re-regulating the banks, investing in public infrastructure, promoting universal health insurance and education, reforming campaign finan...

Oh, wait, you said “liberal,” not…

“Hey everybody, we’re all gonna get laid!”
