“But you’re not going to write it that way, are you.”
This wasn’t a question. It was an accusation.
“I - I don’t know,” I said.
“Well, I know,” she said. “You’ll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you’ll be played in the...

mattdoucette:
Let’s stop using absolutes to describe the political opposition in this country, because every time we do they do it back.
How about we have an open and honest discourse about what we have in common and what we can do to make these things better and work our way towards the most divisive issues?

The clock is ticking...
How long will it take Jim Boehner to make an “It Gets Better” video? Eric Cantor? John McCain?
We’re waiting, Mitch McConnell and Haley Barbour. Mitt Romney, you’re a member of a recently persecuted minority, I’m sure you could offer a few words of wisdom for gay kids who aren’t accepted by the mainstream.

MY DOG
I went down this morning to sign up my Dog for welfare.
At first the lady said, “Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare”.

Homophones scare the bejesus out of me. I don’t like ‘em. Not one single bit. Even if I do wear purple.
