I will bear that in mind, as my family has a bad habit of scheduling trips when people end up sick/dying. My grandmother died the week before my parents went on their first trip to England since my dad had served there 30 years previously. His sister INSISTED that he still go. Then, 15 years later, they were on a cruise on the Mediterranean when said sister (my favorite aunt) fell down in her apartment, broke her hip, was there for a day before she was found, was taken to the hospital, and died. She would not let the staff contact any family members; they had to go through her phone book after she died and start calling people til they got an answer. We can only assume that she didn't want my parents to interrupt a trip for a little thing like her dying. (they did come home early, of course).

Obama needed the NSA to make Romney completely unlikable? I think that was one of Mitt's few merits.

I will say this right here and now... I have never ever been tempted to do that to a keyboard, not even once. Jeez, that man has a filthy mind!

That IS what he was talking about, right?

How classy an ad can VIP Tanning run on MLK Day?

worse yet, AA is now letting you board early if you have no carry-on. So basically, they'll charge you increasing amounts for every piece of checked baggage, charge you $100 if you try to stuff everything in one bag and it's overweight, force you to use an impossibly small carry-on or face gate check and punish you for having any carry-on at all. And TSA will crawl up your ass if you don't have any checked or carry-on because you're suspicious

Mommy Mommy! Make the bad sluts pay for their sexytimes! It's not fair that we don't ever get sex, even though we don't really like it! Take away their pills and jam slutwand things in their dirty slutplaces! Make sure they have to keep the little babbies to punish them for their bad decisions! MOMMY DO IT

I think you are on to something, but what you are positing is missing the word "entitled".

The irony here, and what everyone always seems to forget, is that Romney is actually in favor of all the NSA shenanigans.

You know what's (not) great? When not just students, but teachers, decide that this is appropriate wear for school, and no one in a position of authority tells them otherwise. Yes, I'm a bitchy old teacher.

I went on a lunch date with a Native American woman last week.

She was pretty sexy, but I'm not sure if it was just her "Sexy Color".

Sadly, we didn't really hit it off, so I guess I will never know...

King is right about one thing: I don't think of the country the way he does. Mainly, because I'm not insane...
