talking phones giving
I once found myself driving, smoking a cigar, taking notes, and talking on the phone at the same time. I only became completely aware of this when I had to shift, and realized something had to give.
men ridiculous advertising
I don't see a point in advertising my marital status when men don't. Completely ridiculous.
mistake believe college
I do not believe in public shaming. I do believe that young adults go to college to learn things, and that this process will almost inevitably result in their making mistakes and misjudgments and otherwise acting badly.
splendid
Shakespeare was such a splendid vulgarian.
use weight comic
Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.
clueless punctuation-marks needs
I need an irony punctuation mark for the clueless.
mirrors want naked
I always thought there was some cleverness to the joke diet in which you could eat as much as you want and as often as you want, but everything must be consumed naked in front of a full-length mirror. That would deter me!
theory humans knows
That is my theory to explain the I don't knows. It's human.
school careers decision
I feel like no matter what happens in my career endeavors after today, going to grad school is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
atheist sorry hate
I don't think there is prejudice against atheists the same way there is prejudice against fat people. I don't think people hate or contemn atheists; I think people feel sorry for atheists.
believe flower college
I believe that the fragile-flower, idea-intolerant society of victimhood that is being cultivated in many colleges today is really bad.
cute senior daughter
When my daughter was a senior in high school, I remember noticing, almost in passing, that her friends were very cute. Which made me realize her friends' fathers probably found Molly very cute.
preparation murder kitten
One thing I am learning from the kitten is that everything he is doing seems to be in preparation for murder.
guilty carter
I am not saying Rubin Carter was guilty. I am saying he was very likely guilty.
