How 'bout we start by replacing a freakin' LOUSY poseur Secretary of

Education with some decent leadership who wants to work on seriously improving our public schools instead of merely doing away with them all? Get “privatization” the fuck OUT!

And the children shall lead.

SOMEBODY has to. We grownups haven’t done that great a job.

Puppy pile for emotional rescue! Just when you need it, BP.

My condolences on the passing of your dad. Thank God we have our critters to provide comfort. Mighty glad you have yours! Both my parents suffered a long slow lingering - and very painful - decline. Sometimes I wonder if a sudden departure would have been more merciful, all around - but for them, in particular.

Many hugs, my friend. You do not mourn alone. Certainly not if you share your heartbreak in a place like here. And especially with a “fur baby” to cuddle, as well.

Virtue rewarded. As it should be.

People like him keep hope alive during grim times.

Love it!

Yep! No kidding.

Oh. My. God.

Embarrassing! And they don’t even know enough to be embarrassed over there.

The unmitigated ignorance! In banner headlines, no less.

We call him Little Tucker Carlson.

But Little Fucker Carlson certainly hits the bullseye too.

To me, he’s just pathetic.

But he got his mug back on TV alright. Failed miserably out of CNN after Jon Stewart ate his breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack. Failed miserably out of MSNBC (where he DIDN’T belong in the first place) after several tries. Then wandered in the wilderness til he got the idea of starting his own little internet power base (The Daily Caller). And bless his little pointed head, he used that platform to get back on TV where he evidently thinks he’s entitled to dwell.

At least he finally jettisoned the obvious (and totally deliberate) affectation - that ridiculous bow tie.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
