And people really are stupid sometimes. When the Tea Party Movement was big my sister was yelled at for, essentially, taking a salary. Never, during this temper tantrum, was she yelled at for being inessential (because, in my view, her job is pretty effing critical) but rather for being a woman who dared to take his…

I want to get this out there. One man’s personal crusade against Steve King.

I want to get this guy out there. North Central Iowans are working harder than ever to get him out. I just don’t know what will become of it because so far the Democratic Party up here isn’t really united (there are four Democrats trying to get on the Primary ticket).

Omg!! I’m visiting my hometown right now and want to gift my significantly greying hometown’s library this. My mom has always been fairly liberal but since her retirement has gotten more conservative as she hangs with an older group. It is so annoying to hear her talk about Millennials. Those are your granddaughters…

I was like, ‘but why?’ until I read this. You are probably totally correct.

Yep. As the youngest child in my family, my dad never paid. I managed to get his address when I was eighteen so my mom could submit for back child-support to be taken out of his pay.

Yes! Thank you.

My first thought too. Video exists of his kayak, it is easy to see it is not a deflatable kayak. And just a google search away!

We are all exhausted.

They have thrift shop but the clothes are still kept in better quality than what you see. There are recycle shops for larger items.

Yes. I live in Tokyo and this is exactly what I thought. Much more can be recycled and then you still divide between burnable and unburnable trash.

Not shaking the North Koreans’ hands at the VIP dinner was rude and undiplomatic in my mind. But you could, at least, spin it as he didn’t want to create the optics of ‘endorsing’ NK. 🙄

So, only tangentially related but I got in trouble for arguing with my brother this summer. Because he pointed at one (1!) headline in The Des Moines Register as proof of the Liberal!! Media and how inflammatory it is. I went off on him and one of my main points was he hadn’t even read the lead, it was painfully…

This, I thought this was already a known. The finding about women from Caribbean & African countries is interesting, though.

Well, as my spouse works at the second largest investment bank behind JPMorgan and bonuses sucked this year; I highly doubt that one. Evidently, they are trying shed people not add people (at least in Asia).

And I have seen her the cover of my mom’s AARP magazine. A demographic that would have a much stronger memory of ‘Hanoi Jane’. But I’m sure that’s an extremely progressive publication. 🧐

No worries! I’m white and it took me a moment. 😅

My niece had a cheese table at her wedding. And everyone who saw the blocks of cheese before the reception was, like, ‘OMG!!!! All that cheese!! What are you going to do with the gazillion pounds of leftovers you are sure to have?!’ Cue to all the cheese is eaten before the reception is half over.

Ok, this is in Japan. But one of my daughter’s classmates was evidently, a colicky baby with a very unhappy two year brother. This lead to being a very loud apartment so they had the equivalent of CPS called on them. And, while she says she was mortified at the time it has just turned into this mom’s hilarious story.…

WTF!!! You had the license plate number!!! I’m sure the make of the car is on the car’s registration!
