The ideal nation would take bluster from America, shrewdness from China, efficiency from Germany and dentists not from England.

Time elapsed between last televised insistence that mass shootings only happen in gun-free zones & the mass shooting at Navy Yard: 5 days.

— David Waldman (@KagroX) September 16, 2013

A shooting at a Navy Yard? Fucking Hell, there HAD to have been a LOT of good guys with guns milling around there…

— Gern Blandston (@GodIsDead) September 16, 2013

It's TOO SOON. TOO SOON for you to be mocking how conservatives politicize tragedies.

Racism is as outdated as beauty pageants. #MissAmerica

I'm upset at racists for making me remember that Miss America is still a thing.

I am really disappointed in #MissAmerica. They don't let contestants wear white hooded robes in the Evening Wear competition.

Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin renounced his American citizenship to stay in Singapore. Presumably he did this in order to pay fewer taxes.

Finally! I wait every year, not patiently, for the Academy Awards, and this is The Big Night.  

Do you love movies as much as I do?  I have only seen a couple of the movies nominated, but it’s fun to watch the celebs on the red carpet (their hairdos and even more, the hair-don’ts), the jewelry and pero Dios mio, the dresses!) who can resist the glamour, the decadence, and so much Shiny Stuff only once a year?  Not me.

My aunt and I like to watch together.  Our big activity in the winter months to see all the movies before the awards, but not this year. Yes, since you asked, we do make a big production of it, and wear our best dresses to eat appetizers and get blasted drinking a pitcher of Oscar’s Big Night (recipe below).  This year, we can’t be together.  My husband’s taste in movies trends toward car chases or paranormal activities . . so I’m hoping there are some Meese who like movies?
