I can be as profane as anybody in private but when I'm writing something for other people to read I try to avoid words like "cumsock" which is just vulgar and kink-shaming when words like schmuck work just as well.

The Vice President doesn't have any bad options among those seriously mentioned to run with her. An embarrassment of riches. Myself I admire Sen. Kelly greatly and would my guy.

PAB's on the other hand had nothing but bad options and managed to pick the worst anyway.

Aside from making ignorant noises about Harris having been Biden's "border czar", the usual right -wing cretins are making noises anew about her being descended from an apparently more-than-usually-disgusting Irish slave owner. She had a white male slave owner for an ancestor for the same reason a lot of coloured women have white male slave owners among their ancestors. He owned, as property, her female ancestors, and raped them.

Ta, Evan. Many, many years ago I thought I'd find a carpenter and make bank creating tiny coffins for miscarriages (the carpenter wouldn't do all the work, I'd hand sew the linings). Stillborn babies are buried in regular cemeteries for dead people. My grieving parents had to name and bury one of my siblings who was stillborn, and years ago I attended the funeral of a stillborn girl.

I will bet all the change in my pockets that if we asked this guy to name five things Kamala has done while Vice President, he would draw a blank.

I’m not saying I could do it either, but I feel he wouldn’t know.

You’re a good person. Lots of people don’t care, it appears.

This was supposed to be a response to Queen Maebh, but I lost her message.

If Tennessee did send their finest we could all watch Senator Evan Hurst on CSPAN.

I think it was a Morning Joe/Why focus group. trump lovin Fox watchers are tasked with the Harris quandary. The consensus seemed to be the VP is a dummy and trump will "out smart" her.

This is a lot more fun than just a few days ago.

Say what you will about JD Vance, this whole thing with him had taught me something... it is pronounced 'app-uh-LATCH-un' not 'app-a-LAY-shun'. Huh; never too old to learn!

Re garden for stillborn children: "The Fall of Roe" by Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer is a very measured, careful, and readable history of how we got here. The authors do not rush to vilify anyone; nonetheless, the accounts of the long-held beliefs of extreme Catholic people like Leonard Leo are truly terrifying.

Beliefs like those of Opus Dei, a real thing that is not just a bogeyman in a crappy Dan Brown thriller. https://medium.com/@thcarter123/notes-and-links-on-the-campaign-to-canonize-leonard-leos-daughter-6aaa1f0dfca1

Hah, go in peace, my child. Also, spill that wine ...

On the other hand, the likes of Bill Barr are heroes at the Napa Institute (https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/william-barr-notre-dame-secularism).
