you can't run for office in my hometown unless you have a DUI conviction, pending DUI charges or have murdered someone while driving drunk.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

I haven't had a serviceable bagel since I visited New York.

My wife's friend took us to this place called Tal's, & I loved it so much we returned every morning for breakfast the whole trip.

An "everything" breakfast bagel.

It was - the best - Salty, savoury, creamy, toasty, texturally perfect.

He wouldn't care about the prize if Obama hadn't gotten a Nobel.

Buddy Carter, do you need a mouthwash rinse and napkin to wipe Trump's dickcheese off your lips?

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.
