Chris Matthews was incredibly inarticulate last night, to say the least. That being said, I somewhat understand the point he was trying to make. Think about it. For about 220 years the majority of this country was obsessed with race. Race literally tore us apart at one point. Some would argue that it may have ideologically torn us apart again during the civil rights movement....

It’s a fact that every house in Florida has a damn swimming pool. Well, except for my grandma’s house; she refused to have one put in because she has been terrified of water since her cousin tried to drown her in the waves near Havana when she was three years old. Regardless, this isn’t about that pool that never was but about how when I was fourteen, I found myself floating in my...

I wasn’t going to say anything, but the Salinger worship is getting a bit out of hand. Honestly, people. Catcher in the Rye is basically a Judy Blume book that grew a little hair on its balls.
Before all you English majors get your panties in a twist, go pull that paperback with the red cover off your top shelf and give it a fresh look now that you’re not writing a...

This is deep, y’all. VERY deep.
We have been discussing race ever since mini began studying MLKJr. in class. I think there is an awareness of discrepancy that she hasn’t fully understood until recently. Today she said, getting out of the car, on her way into school,
‘I know I don’t have brown skin like you mama, but I like being black. I know I am black.’
I responded, sortof...

The 37th President of the United States was hysterical. Crumpled in a leather chair in the Lincoln Sitting Room, his favorite of the 132-rooms at his disposal in the White House, Richard Milhous Nixon called for his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger. Nixon was drinking, Nixon was exhausted, Nixon was physically and mentally unwell and, hours earlier, Nixon...

Good God, I love Sheryl Crow. If something ever happened to my husband, I would marry her.

Not bad. Urban’s a bit over-botoxed and who’s the poor shmoe behind Kid Rock that doesn’t even get to sit in the light?

Matt told them that wasn’t good enough.
how can you eff up a toilet?
We have a tankless toilet (old bldg) and we’re transitioning to a toilet with a tank. They did the hookup for the new toilet but left the old one.
Basically they’re complete idiots.
Have you told them they’re being fired yet?
