I have seen a version of this book that is blank. dunno if all of them are, but the one I saw had the same cover. It was handed around the family by my grandmother, who scoffed at it because she and grandpa were still getting it on well into their 80s, as she was very open about. Read more

He's the worst. Recently at a legislative forum he told a group of young adults to "stop beating a dead horse" when they spoke up about education funding, and asked them if they'd rather pull money from "cops or mental health". He is a governor bandstand lap dog. Read more

That is not the attitude of someone who is looking at a blank page, that is someone reading.

And this is the man that chairs the Senate committee on Science, Space and Competitiveness. Its so very very sad. Read more

God, there are plenty of people on the right just as bad or worse as Cruz ideologically, but I don't think any of them are as repulsive in every aspect as he is. No one else has that constant simpering jerks-off-in-a-mirror expression or that "I'm so taken with my own cleverness I can barely form a sentence" delivery. Read more
