Favorite quote from this article:
“Mr. Grimes, who receives Social Security, has filled the back seat of his Mercury Grand Marquis with the literature of the movement, including Glenn Beck’s Arguing With Idiots and Frederic Bastiat’s The Law, which denounces public benefits as ‘false philanthropy.’

• go out for margaritas with a side of burrito.
Which do you think we’ll choose?

Of course I phrased that to sound extra dickish, but the quandary remains. It’s lovely out, but hardly sundress weather. Linen trousers? Alas mine are too large. I may have given them away. Nautical stripes? I own a lot of items that fit the bill. I could couple my navy sailor pants with my white…

Hanging out with my mom’s new boyfriend. He says the word “crap” a lot and it irks me. He also called Bruce’s family “homies”. I think I hate him.

Bruce has rehearsal every night this week.
I can finally watch, without interruption, as many hours of History channel as my fat little heart desires in peace.
Dear nerdgasms

Maybe it’s because I’m still suffering from exhaustion, maybe it’s because I’m suffering mild episodic depression due to my...
