Choke on it, NRA and Dino Three Time Loser Rossi.

I bet you that Dino Rossi doesn't care about journalists getting hurt or killed.l, Seattle Times.

AMZHQ2's gonna be in 'Northern Virginia'? You must mean Northern Dakota. There's only two Virginnys - Virginny and West Verginny. Northern Dakota is iced in most of the year, unlike its neighbor Southern Dakota which grows pineapples, has palm trees and pinya coladas on every corner.

What a bizarre choice!
Bezos is gonna freeze his balls off in Bismark.
And the Rents are gonna go Sky High.

Damn, my honey is in Spain at the moment. If he brings back Spanish flu (instead of, or as well as, the box of chocs I asked for), I'm gonna hafta smack him with a Mansize box of Kleenex. I'm sorry you feel icky, Nathalie. Get well soon. The world needs you fit and healthy. My glass of pinot grigio made me type "heathen" there, but I caught it in time :)

The Times endorsement is actually kind of remarkable. By comparison I think the Des Moines Register has endorsed all Democrats for office this round.

If you actually read the Crosscut story and follow their link to the Seattle Times, you’ll see that “man attacks 5 in Ravenna Park” is inaccurate. He attacked 5 women in the U District near Greek Row, and in 2 instances then forced them to walk to Ravenna Park.
And a couple of other women were attacked miles away on Ravenna Blvd.

dude its Friday

Yo, that "Sudafed" is the combo shit with the acetaminophen, please don't OD on that if you've been boozing out your liver. Advise you get the straight decongestant.

If that phenylephrine works for you I envy you your soft blushing nose tissues. Don't ever give those twinks a taste of the real pseudoephedrine.

Fucking Converse. Why don't they just give you some goddamn normal length laces?

Maybe the Times' endorsement of Rossi was a cry for help - to see if anyone actually still reads their endorsements?

As for Amazon, my prediction is they'll go someplace where the cost of living is cheap, and put all the marketing and business types there, keeping the tech bros here.

I think pho works better than ramen, hope you get better soon

@11,

Yeah, is rather odd. I generally cut a couple inches off each end, then tie knots at those ends to prevent their fraying.

Check out the remarkable developments in the Alaska gubernatorial race. The current governor, a former Republican, and the lieutenant governor, a Democrat, became close friends and pretty much ran together. The lieutenant governor just resigned this week after he made some inappropriate comment to a woman. On Friday the governor, who is an independent, just dropped his reelection bid to endorse the Democratic candidates because he doesn't wants the Republican to win.

@14

Sometimes I think about getting a pair of Converse for the first time since I was a kid. But probably won't just because of the laces

@16:

For me it's not the laces, but the fact they have for-shit arch support - not good for my very flat feet.

I love how it becomes worth it to buy a lottery ticket when the purse is 1 billion. Because you know, fuck a half billion, not worth the bending down to pick it up :)

@12 Catalina Vel-DuRay: Good point. Obviously the Blethens are getting so desperate for business anymore that they're willing to face bankruptcy for supporting foolhardy political endorsements.

@19 ClaraT: I know, right? Funny how the GOP is so hellbent on devaluing the U.S. dollar to be replaced by the Chinese yuan or, Putin's favorite, the Russian ruble. I guess RepubliKKKans won't feel their brought on butt-hurt until they themselves finally experience the consequences of their own fucked up economic miscalculation.
Zero times one billion = zero.

Talk about a segue: @19 to @20.1

Opps: 99 to 20.2

@21 & @22: I think all that high fructose corn syrup over-consumption has finally hit you in the balls, sugarlips.

Well, @23 was below the belt, auntie Gee
but it did make me chuckle...

@23: Predicable recovery.

@24: He's just mad that he didn't get sprinkles.

@24: That's all right, she is, well, practically endearing. Her passion is entertaining.

The lottery story was super fun to read! My family is obsessed with lotteries as well, it’s like weekend tradition for us to check those winning numbers, haha. It started when my sister got to write an essay about luck So she did some research regarding lotteries and decided that it’s fun to have this tradition in family and if we have fun because of it, luck would be on our side:)

@25 & @27: Seriously--you might want to invest in spell check, sugarlips, before munching your next Cinnabon. I'm surprised you haven't passed out by now.

@29: There are no misspellings.

Sad that you don't have the grace to stop returning fire after my warm words in @27.

@31 LOL---"Predictable" (re @25) is spelled with a t, sugarlips.
