I post about politics - yep, I'm one of THOSE people. But you'll also find other bits and bobs. Colorado native. #TrialSky

I once took a picture of Simon LeBon's Sole.

I don't mince words, and I curse... a lot.

It's a few days before Christmas, so it's time to revisit one of my favorite Holiday albums. I remember when Tori said she was going to do a Christmas album and I kind of cringed, but it's now a yearly tradition.

Funny thing about you guys, in the sense of the bigger picture...

You are not in that picture.

I failed last night.

I wasn't strong enough to look that old fuck in the face and say, "Get your fucking hands off me."

One of those moments...

Every woman on the face of the fucking planet knows "one of those moments."

They touch you, they lean on you. They assume a familiarity that does not exist, but they press forward anyway, invading your personal space, because they think they have that right...

Thoughts on last night's Christmas party...

Nepotism is a thing.

"That's my boy!"

Your "boy" is a full-grown human being.

Also, too, get your fucking hands off me, Grandpa Creepo.

Needless to say, I WILL be SICK for next year's Christmas party.

Why do companies insist that coworkers spend their off-time socializing uncomfortably? Nobody really wants to be here!

Forgive me if I live skeet my company Christmas party. I hate this kind of shit.

Do yourself a favor and watch this documentary before Dec. 31, while it's still streaming for free at PBS. The filmmaker has twice been nominated for an Oscar, and he does a great job of explaining what hedge funds are doing to U.S. newspapers and why it matters. www.pbs.org/show/strippe...

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

"We have monetized the dysfunction."
Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."
