So by now if you haven’t heard about Kim Davis I would like the address of the cave in which you reside so that I may join you there. In the event that you haven’t though, let me give you the abbreviated story so we can move on. Kim Davis is a County Clerk in …
This evening my husband and I went out for tacos for Taco or Beer Challenge 2015 (#ToBC15) at a local Mexican restaurant. We had a good time and excellent tacos. Check us out… I love tacos. There are few things that I love more than tacos, so it is a pleasure for me to eat … Continue reading Excuse Me, Waiter?
I will start by saying that I’m a few days behind on this because I watch The Nightly Show on the day after at earliest because I don’t have cable. Generally speaking I highly recommend The Nightly Show. It’s a fantastic replacement for The Colbert Report and they do a great job. …Mostly. What I … Continue reading When Comedy Punches Down: Parental Leave Edition
I’ve had several days of intense analytical introspection about important issues so I feel the need to take a break and do something fun. Happily, the rumor that Rick Perry has stopped paying his campaign staff in every state has come to rescue me. Seeing that schadenfreude-tastic news made me think about what order the … Continue reading The Drop List: August Edition
Yet another of Bernie Sanders rallies was interrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters. Like most white liberals I have mixed feelings. This is a a thing that I will honestly admit. Personally, I’m not a Bernie supporter. I mean, if he wins the Democratic nomination I’ll vote for him in the general; I’ll even campaign … Continue reading Thinking Through the #BlackLivesMatter Interruption of Bernie Sanders

Unfortunately, I was not able to live-tweet the main debate last night because I had an evening meeting and I didn’t make it home until 10:15. Given how totally entertaining I found the Republican Big Ten Debate last night (As opposed to the earlier-in-the-day junior varsity debate), I am nearly despondent that I had to … Continue reading I Survived The First Republican Primary Debate…
As a way of putting off doing any of the productive things I should be doing – writing a message for a church service in two days, political work, educational reading, exercising – I decided instead I’d take a few minutes to talk about my favorite podcasts. It’s all my friend Whitney’s fault. She suggested … Continue reading Podcastinating
Hey guess what? Did you know that I’m not required to like you? …like even if you’re an American. That seems like a non sequitur. Let me explain. Via a Facebook page that I run I posted an article about the Governor of Pennsylvania vetoing a totally bullshit Republican budget (high fives, Gov. Wolf…that was … Continue reading I Don’t Have To Like You
Today I read this little piece on Jezebel about how One Million Moms is super mad over a yogurt commercial. They’re mad about this commercial. Can you feel the hell fires coming to claim you? Well, One Million Moms wanted people to write to Chobani yogurt and express their thoughts about this commercial. I checked … Continue reading Chobani Yogurt Pushes One Million Moms’ Buttons…and I Love It
