Totally agree. The series would have worked much better if her portrayal had been layered. You could tell that they deliberately chose to make her clueless to try to make him sympathetic. For me, this choice just said he was an immature jerk from the beginning. I'm glad she wrote this!

The Real Fake News is Trump’s Economy, but Not for the Reasons You May Think Our supermarket carries bread and pastries from a nearby, family-owned bakery.

Trust me, for my husband to notice anything having to do with shopping or food preparation means that the shrinkage is real!

Great interview with Shelley Puhak about her new book, The Blood Countess. I cannot tell you how much I admire her for doing the painstaking research necessary to dispel this ridiculous myth!

I don't know about you but I think Bruce Springsteen deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this. Let's see if we can get him on the short list.

In response, Mr. Trump wrote on social media that Mr. Springsteen β€œought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT” and called for a β€œmajor investigation” into the artist.
You know you're in trouble when you have to go up against the Boss.
Thank you Bruce Springsteen for your courage!

Louvre heist probe still aims to 'recover jewellery', top prosecutor says French investigators remain determined to find the imperial jewels stolen from the Louvre in October, a prosecutor has told AFP.

It sounds like they think the stolen pieces may have been stashed, not sold...it would be great if the jewels were recovered intact!
