Just what every young guy wants: his tacky, overbearing in-laws pushing their way into his “work banquet” and showing off like mad in front of his employers and co-workers.

I'm surprised that she admitted that she didn't win a spot on the trip. I would have expected her to fake an illness or injury (or invent some kind of family emergency) as an excuse for why she had to give up the trip.

Prepared correctly, salt potatoes are delicious. You have to use very tiny new potatoes, boiled just until tender and served with a small bowl of melted butter for dipping. Trust Jill to turn a tasty regional delicacy into a ghastry mess.

"Don't deserve this" may be the first truthful thing she's said in years. "Don't deserve this" may be the first truthful thing she's said in years. "Don't deserve this" may be the first truthful thing she's said in years.

Jill faced an impossible task when it came to raising her sons: "How can I turn my boys into men of strength and valor like the Old Testament heroes, yet still keep them so terrified of my anger that they obey my every command and constantly placate me with praise and gifts?"

And if Mama is really upset, Nurie slips the waiter five bucks to loudly exclaim “This is your mother? I thought for sure you two were sisters!”

Even worse, maybe they didn't tell her ahead of time and she only found out when the rest of us did.

Unless I see video that proves otherwise, I'm going to assume that the "ski trip" is a big fat lie. At best, I'll bet that someone gave then one pair of broken-down skis and the boys are taking turns sliding down a small incline in their backyard. Dave bundled up and stood around just long enough for Jill to take his picture. If they actually went on grifted a genuine ski trip, we'd hear a lot more about it and we'd be treated to a bunch of pictures of Jill lolling aound the ski lodge in front of a fire, sipping a mug of NON-ALCOHOLIC hot cider.

And the same smug "Don't you wish you were me?" smirk she always wore.

He’s going to be a permanent co-host on Morning Joe.

It was just announced that, beginning on January 6th, Jonathan Lemire will be leaving "Way Too Early" and joining "Morning Joe" as a permanent co-host. Ali Vitali will take over hosting "Way Too Early".

I wouldn’t blame him. It would probably be fresher and tastier than anything Jill cooks.

If Jill ever did become a professional housecleaner, I'm sure that she would bring a couple of kids along with her to do the actual cleaning.

I think that Jill really believes that she is a greatly admired celebrity in Fundie World and that her fans will gladly pay extra for a dress that she has owned and that they'll proudly wear it and show it off to their friends.

Yes, and I'll bet Jim Bob bitterly regretted it. He let his "sweet friends" appear on his TV show and, next thing he knew, they scored a special of their own, followed by a series on a competing network. He never made that mistake again.
