My only observation thus far is this: Tucker Carlson needs to get back on Dancing with the Stars. He's looking a little chipmunk-cheeked!Apparently it's wrong to hope that Rick Santorum's daughter gets "in trouble" when she's 16?

Well, I never asked to be congenial.I FUCKING hate Virginia. Redneck motherfuckers. GO FUCK YOURSELF, YOU STUPID ( Read more... )

As political as I am, I try to avoid debates in my LJ. (Lie No. 1) I don't think it's appropriate to banter with one's friends, as I think it makes people uncomfortable, and I try to avoid that. (Lie No. 2) That said, I'm ready for this one.

I just paid out $600+ of my poor person's salary to the U.S. government. For all the stupids out there, ( Read more... )

I'm having a pretty democracy-heavy few days. Observe:

Yesterday morning I attended a memorial service for one of our former presidents, Molly Yard. It was incredible. Sens. Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi spoke at this woman's memorial service, as did the presidents and founders of at least three prominent civil rights ( Read more... )

This morning I went to the presentation of a study by the Kaiser Foundation about sex on TV--specifically, the TV that teenagers watch.

I just can't take any of this seriously. I am so grateful to CNN for always referring to him as "Libby" (even though that also freaks me out because that's my mom's name) or "Lewis." But anytime someone refers to him by that name I picture him in a little beanie hat or something.

"Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and talented individuals I ( Read more... )
