I'm convinced that middle names have no use whatsoever other than being an indicator that you're in really big trouble.

You know, I'm pretty certain that a bunch of meanies going around trying to literally erase rainbows has been the plotline of at least one Care Bears or Rainbow Brite story...

And given that Congress - well, the GOP arm, anyway - has been catering to Mango Mussolini's every gold-plated whim...

Dear WSJ. I expect to see ALL the tea spilled on your front page tomorrow. And the cream and sugar and lemon. No excuses.

I'd call CBS's execs a bunch of chickens, but that'd be an insult to the species G. gallus domesticus. #StephenColbert

After Hurricane Sandy, my local library had extended hours in the evenings so people could some in, charge their devices, and just spend some time in the light and warmth. (My street was without power for ten days - it's a miracle we didn't all go bonkers.)

Sending lots of love to you and the family from here in New Jersey, Gov. Shapiro - I hope whoever did this is soon brought to justice.

My couple-of-greats grandma was a suffragist. She'd be terribly upset to see this happening. (She was too polite to swear, so I've been told, but I know of a few relatives who'd do so on her behalf.)
