My two cats are both sweet, but they eat like they’re dogs (that’s a comparison, not a criticism—of dogs).

Jordan Klepper on The Daily Show was talking about how 9% of current residents have threatened to leave. His response: “You mean 9% of NY apartments will be vacant? That’s the fastest any mayor has ever delivered on a campaign promise!”
Only in New York. More power to ‘em.

No matter how old the cat, there is a kitten inside just waiting to come out.

USA Today: “Should parents decide what books are in school libraries?”
No, absolutely not. They should, however, be able to decide what they allow their kids to check out.

A character on TV said “parenting is a marathon”. Right, it starts out great, then they turn two, and the rest is like the last 5 miles.

Levitt, Vance, Johnson, and a few others need to go read their Bible (future tense is deliberate-they haven’t read it yet). Then we can talk about healthcare for immigrants.
