Turns out she was homeschooled and her entire story was made up by the marketing rep of the company that owns that conservative book division, which is her.

Repression leads to perversion. This explains the entire right wing obsession with other people's activities and naughty bits.

Kisses are porn?

So sad! That 20 year-old porn addict's parents must have never kissed in front of their kid(s).

I mean, I have so many questions as well, but especially: do people even kiss in porn? And why is his PR director only 20 years old?!

I see on Kirk Cameron that 'more in sorrow than in anger face.' Which is how he proves he's not enjoying this- but he has to do it. For the children, who-- let's face it-- might get so horny and. . . and worse!

“Anti-Anti Racist Baby” by Tucker Carlson

“How To Be A Porn Accountability Buddy with your Son” by Mike Johnson

“My Struggle” by Donald Trump

“All Hail Our Russian Overlords” by Marjorie Taylor Greene

Didn't Donald Trump recently discuss the whole Russian prostitute pee fetish conspiracy to an auditorium of high school students? Like, these idiots are worried Scholastic is introducing their children to the existence of stage kisses and gender-based bullying, but are okay with their teens learning about golden showers, because it just so happens to be from the former president?

Indeed, he did.

I just saw a .gif set of Patinkin's butt on Tumblr (yes it still exists) like 2 days ago, so you are definitely not alone in that.

Mandy Patinkin! What a great lifelong crush, and even greater childhood crush! Mine was on a toothless defense player for the Chicago Blackhawks. Totally unrequited. And he never became a super-loquacious advocate for all the best causes. Also Peter Lorre and Harpo Marx, and they were, at the time, dead. Still, to my knowledge, dead.

You really know how to pick 'em. Hats off, sticks flying, and my respect is legion.

I'll see your Peter Lorre and raise you a Leonard Nimoy (well, Spock, really, who's kidding) and a John Gage (from 'Emergency!')

Lanah Burkhardt: "I looked for other books that gave me pleasure..."

Beginning with thin books such as Superhero comics or small state road atlases, possibly, even, the Restoration Hardware catalog then...progressing to books with more heft, finally to books like War and Peace and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

It's a slippery slope.

I guess "Christian" parents don't kiss? There must not have been any love in that poor woman's house. I'm guessing her "porn addiction" could have had many, many root problems (like teenage hormones and sadness).

"...I wanted die." But could I get a little sugar first?

We went to Pioneer Village for a field trip and had to sit in the unheated, 1-room schoolhouse trying to write on slates in 30-degree weather, which really brought home how much the past must have sucked.

Pioneer Village where?

Northeast Ohio, but not 100% sure where because I think there's like 3 of them. Probably Smithville, though?

It amazes me that people spend time on crap like this.

Cameron must own a stake in SkyTree or something.
