1) Completely redoing your constitutional model is not easy. Why haven’t we Americans gotten rid of the electoral college? It’s anti-democracy, after all. Having a queen with no formal power is less anti-democratic than having Presidential canidates get over 2 million more votes and still lose. Changing things is…

There isn’t a rational answer. It isn’t about rationality, it’s about national identity.

Coincidentally, this is also the procedure for when the CEO of AutoZone dies.

I have often wondered what will happen. I don’t want her to go. She’s the last of her kind.

My favorite cat hero of all time!

Eartha Kitteh once saved my life! One of the pilot lights on the stove had gone out, and she woke me up by vomiting as the apartment filled with gas. We would both be 100% dead if it wasn’t for the fact that you can NEVER sleep through the sound of a cat vomiting.

I think mine would save me just because CO poisoning is too fast and painless a death for me.

Every time I read one of these sweet stories about a cat saving their family I look over at my kitty, and she gives me a look that clearly says “I would totally let you die.”

I honestly just feel bad for you?

I feel like I have met a lot of white people who say authentic but they mean stereotypical. Like if you try to perform what feel authentic to you, they feel you are putting on an act and you have to conform to their manufactured ideas about authenticity or you are not living up to their standards.

My dentist is a very nice man and I have been going to him since I was a small child but I can solidly say I do not want that man all up in my cervix.

Yeah, I suppose investigation of Hillary’s emails has drastically improved my quality of life. I ... enjoy the gif of her looking impatient. So that counts.

Ah yes, let’s have women go to nursing homes for mammograms, the dentist for Pap smears and whatever the fuck else.

Texas is what happens when you shut down PP. Kansas is what happens when you cut taxes for the rich. Wisconsin is what happens when you cut education. The Great Lakes and Flint, MI are what to expect when you kill the EPA.

Why do we continue to act surprised that our government clearly doesn’t have our best interests…

“Steve Bannon is what stupid people think smart people sound like.”

You’d think a banker in Goldman Sachs’ investment banking division would know enough about the stock market to set his father up with an index fund portfolio, if he could not be bothered to manage daddy’s portfolio himself.

This would be like if after seeing his parents gunned down in an alley, Bruce Wayne grew up to become a prominent NRA advocate.

Steve Bannon is not uneducated. It defies belief that someone who understands Wall Street and capitalism

I always assumed Steve Bannon‘s origin story involved a bottle of Dewars and a tube of hemorrhoid cream exposed to Gamma radiation.

It’s disappointing he could never get his shooting to be consistently OK, because everything else about him is a delight, and I cosign the desire for the NBA to have room for guys like this.
