Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have had a headache since yesterday. I feel like my skull is closing in on my brain. In the last five hours I have taken two excedrin, two aspirin, a claritin, and had a coke (for the nausea) and a latte.

Nothing is touching it.

Is it possible that my skull is shrinking? WTF? I should have shaky hands from caffeine, but my eyelids are getting heavy.

Maybe it's a tumor.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Try ginger ale for the nausea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tea Party Nation President Says It ‘Makes A Lot Of Sense’ To Restrict Voting Only To Property Owners

Every week, the Tea Party Nation hosts a weekly radio program, calling itself a “home for conservatives.” Two weeks ago, Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips hosted the program and discussed changes that he felt should be made to voting rights in the United States. He explained that the founders of the country originally put “certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote.” He continued, “One of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you’re a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community. If you’re not a property owner, you know, I’m sorry but property owners have a little bit more of a vested interest in the community than non-property owners”

Apparently for this guy, the "good old days" were before 1820....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Seconded. Or ginger tea.

I made it to work! I'd forgotten how large a part of my morning commute vocabulary the word "jacktard" is.

Maybe Perkins and I can't be at work at the same time.

I got a reply back to my working from home email to my boss, and I was all nervy and reluctant to read it. Of course, it was nothing. Hmmph.

In that case, I should probably mention I may be going home at lunch.

I'm surprised they don't just come out and say it: only white males who own real property can vote.

(And then they can argue about whether a condominium constitutes real property, since it wasn't discussed by the Founders.)

In other news, I thought I had a solution to my home-buying dilemma, but I don't.

I have to sell my house before I can make an offer on another one, and thus I run the risk of being homeless for a while, especially since I'm considering buying a short sale or an REO, because I can get a house in a better neighborhood for less money that way. But those sales take longer, and I may end up putting all my stuff in storage and living in my sister's guest room.

Argh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now all I can hear is Scarlett O'Hara's father saying "Land, land is the only thing that's real!"
