June 28, 2011 – If I lived off the Internet coupons I’m offered, I would be tanned, waxed, massaged, and tweezed. And one meal, which I would have to travel 25 miles to eat.

June 27, 2011 – It would be hard to overstate how little I agree with Ms. Bachman. Be that as it may, one of th very worst things about a presidential campaign is the relentless cataloging of verbal errors that inevitably occur. I would so love to take a 1.5 year vacation in Australia.

June 24, 2011 – First, I was like, is that onion I smell? And then I was like, hey, with a robotic car, I could propel myself independently. And then I was like, ROBOTIC CARS? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

June 24, 2011 – Credit where credit is due, Mr. Speaker. You are right on this one.

June 24, 2011 – My mom’s name is Emma. Because her parents were DEPRESSION-ERA HIPSTERS.

June 23, 2011 – I had never heard of this fellow until after his death. I didn’t see “Jackass” (for which I am everlastingly grateful), but it makes me a little sad to read that the headline about someone’s death includes the phares “Jackass Star”.

June 23, 2011 – Wow, I hadn’t even heard, or seen this in local news. Whatever you think about the death penalty, the idea that we here in Texas have escalated our executions to the point that they don’t even warrant a cursory news story is a little disturbing.

June 21, 2011 – This sort of thing is why I hate the world.

June 17, 2011 – Oh great. Now I’ll NEVER get in there.

June 17, 2011 – Co-founded by an old friend. Congratulations, Rob.

June 16, 2011 – Conservative hosts take money from right-wing advocacy groups. That was news to me, and the Politico article is worth reading, but this CJR piece flushes out a couple of interesting points about the overall political media landscape.

June 16, 2011 – I think the better question would be: which holiday is a bigger deal in most families? in mine, it was always Mother’s Day, especially since dad was impossible to buy for. In any case, neither holiday was a big gift-giving day for us. One parent did not buy the other parent a gift, as seems to be common now, for example. You buy your dad a gift, not your husband!
