brass tacks

With all that’s been happening lately with the DNC, the delegates, the debates, the endless op-eds and platitudes, I wanted to bring up something of which, apparently, many of my peers are unaware.
4 amendments and 50 years separate the right for women’s suffrage and that of all men, regardless of race, to vote.

can you believe roger clemens is on mitchell’s list?

he thought it was the ball?.
i expected that, but gagne?  what an a-hole.  and mo vaughn?  i guess it wasn’t cheeseburgers.

apparently, helping someone in need isn’t in the lease.

so, many of you, dear friends, have been asking what happened this weekend to destroy my recent spate of happiness.   or, to put it another way: how i discovered my new roommate was bat shit crazy.
my beloved and beyond divine previous roommate, sunny d, left me and our domestic bliss at the end of this [...]
