I can’t begin to say how painful this is.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

But he can go, go, go, and get that long face lost.

Presidents don’t own the country.

It doesn’t belong to them.

It’s ours.

Never forget this basic fact.

It’s ours.

Never normalize dictatorial power grabs.

They’re NOT normal.

I swear Youtube is kept afloat by companies I'd never do business with.

So many people posting from Mary Poppins and A Little Night Music for the birthday of Glynnis Johns, allow me to buck the trend by posting Korda's An Ideal Husband, with costumes by Cecil Beaton. One of her earliest movies, and I think she's charming in it.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Happy Constitution Day! “The 1st Amendment is dying while the 2nd Amendment is killing us.” Actually, the 2nd Amendment, incorrectly interpreted by an extremist majority in SCOTUS, is killing us. Three cheers for the Bill of Rights, a term coined by John Bingham, framer of the 14th amendment.

More people should consider this, especially today.

BYU, a very conservative university, has made sure Kirk didnt come near our campus primarily because he didnt practice politics the right way.
