I am assuming she found a discount wine bin in the area that delivers . . . blech.

Seriously, this is like the Howard Stern show (from the Private Parts movie). Half listen because they love him and half listen because they hate him.

KYCS (Know Your Cup Size)

But I guess not opposed to marrying one. Oh c'mon Joe, there have been worse ideas (read: his garage band).

Suomi my friend, I couldn't love you more for this line. Thank you for warming my heart with your post today! ❤️

Yeah not everything she touches turns to gold. Halperin sold a whopping 502 copies of his book during last week's launch. Heh.

I have had the luxury of being the very youngest amongst the very oldest in my family. I have lived with my off the boat Czechoslovakian ancestors who could barely communicate with me as they lived in their communities that they carved out after coming to our wonderful country which they love dearly. Each generation expanded that reach (not without some discomfort as my mom told me how she had a whopping two weeks to learn English when she started school or she would get socked (please keep in mind she was five) but learned she did and taught her parents and others our language and they happily assimilated into America but for those that were not born here were always more comfortable in their native language hence them smiling and nodding at me a lot. It pains me to hear Lowry talk like this as I am pretty sure they are cherry picking folks to hold up as evidence of who is not assimilating. Anyone that would walk thousands of miles to get here wants to be here and shame on you if you think differently as you yourself probably don't know the first thing about sacrifice. I would imagine having to share a bathroom growing up is probably horrifying and I would bet he doesn't grasp the irony of not being able to communicate with the guys that mow his lawn. Jerk.

And may I add one more bit of snark . . . I never, EVER trust anyone that claims "I" founded anything as a movement is truly founded by a team that pulls together. Those "incredible women" that are mentioned are clearly props to her NBC vanity fueled project. Never trust a leader that begins a sentence with the word "I".

Why am I not surprised. When I used to be forced into attending these types of events it was always about the upper management sprinkling their wisdom/encouragement on the unwashed masses while the rest of us seethed during this nonsense. The one thing many of the women had in common with KYV was that they too were banging their boss to get their big break . . . gross.

DITTO! And I would also like to thank them for providing Thanksgiving dinner for me this year as my cooking skills are lacking and I would like to enjoy my meal for a change . . . 😘

Hee! It's been a long time since I've watched the entire show but Meeks is radiating some weird vibes. She looks like she's duct taped to the chair otherwise she would bolt.

Yeah I missed this discussion as I was too busy running out of the room screaming. Good grief it's too early in the morning for that duo and their ramblings. Ugh.

I love when David Fahrenthold is on, he's such a great reporter and guest. So I see our little local story about the Trump Hotel has made the national news. It's such a shame as it's a lovely hotel in a gorgeous part of the city. I feel bad for the workers, if the capacity is that low I can't imagine the layoffs that may be taking place. Funny story about when the building was under construction. It was no secret that Trump and Rahm Emanuel (who was the mayor of Chicago at the time) hated each other so the building was always a burr under his saddle but rumor has it the day they started to put those 20 foot high gold letters on the side of the building, Emanuel's bodyguards were glad the car had child proof locks as he got so angry they were afraid he was going to jump out of the car, scale the building like Spider-Man and rip them off with his bare hands. Seriously, he did everything he could within Chicago's rather suspect legal system to get them outlawed but no dice . . . 😃

No kidding, yikes somebody really missed being on the air for a couple of days. I could hear him screaming from the next room. Meeks looked like she had completely zoned out there for about 3-4 seconds. Boy it must be fun to be them!

SNORT . . . ok I object to Chicago being tied into this debacle (we create enough of our own in case you haven't noticed) but we are not accepting responsibility for Starbuck's/Morning Joe/leftovers grossness. Cause you know, we have standards . . . dead people voting, no problem. Joe Scarborough coffee? GTFOOH!

I don't find this surprising after DWTS was shocked when Master P made it through way more eliminations than he should have after he substituted for his son Romeo after he was injured (he was clearly meant to be a stand in for Romeo's unexpected injury but the seed was planted). DWTS knew exactly what they were doing based on this reaction to fan base: Dancing with the Stars 2 He was a contestant on season 2 of Dancing with the Stars, replacing his son Romeo who dropped out due to an injury. He partnered with Ashly DelGrosso and received a total score of 8 out of 30 for his Paso Doble, the lowest score in the show's history. He was eliminated in Week 4.

When the remote is further away then her glass of wine?

Ok, I'm with Claire on that one. Knock it off with MFA. All folks want is access to decent health care since companies have taken such delight in either knocking employees off via shifting full time employees to "consultants" or diluting their coverage to the point it becomes almost impossible to use. Give people an option that they can reach out to if this happens to them. It's not hard but then again I guess it is when it hasn't happened to you. Poor Claire. Sucks when you don't run against a potted plant.

Ok seriously, were you at a grocery store or a Home Depot looking to unload otherwise unusable bricks of . . . stuff. HEE, thank you so much for this as this morning has been a challenge for me so the unexpected laugh was most welcome!

Ok, I'm on a roll today . . . who cares about polls in our current environment (and not just political environment)? The sands shift literally every day so asking questions at a given moment could (and probably will be) rendered useless the following hour/day/week. Good grief, could the networks (on the news side) do their job and report the news and drop opinions please? I read a terrific article a year or so ago about how pollsters have been thrown into a tizzy as their samples were usually taken via land line phones and they are still struggling to catch up/hone their newfound data inputs as these new ones can be hacked so easily. Seriously, enough.

Sigh, those darn kids . . . snort. Shame on you Mika as it's a great way for him to lose weight. He Knows His Value (and probably his new and improved test results).

Ok, I guess today is just my lucky day that I tuned in for these segments. Further to Barnicle talking about soldiers/coastal elite, he just asked one of those wonderful wonderful Gold Star women if they felt isolated from the rest of the country . . . WTF? This is what is wrong with this team that MJ insists on having around the table. Anyone that is in/knows a family that is involved in the military the absolute last thing they ever think about is themselves which is clearly a concept Mike "Coastal Elite Personified" Barnicle could ever grasp. Dolt. I then caught Meeks prying away the interview with Alicia Menendez and rolling her eyes when she was talking about the "feedback" she had been provided through the years. Clearly note taking was not her strong suit at that point in her life. I was also treated to Donny waxing in dulcet tones about his poor friend Michael Cohen (the one who regularly threatened/intimidated/frightened to death anyone that crossed his boss). Dolt II. So gross.

This is seriously one of the grossest things I have heard a politician hurl at another foe (especially at that time) but it does give a birdseye view into just how awful he is off camera.

SNORT . . . you are my people! . . . thank you!

Agreed. I think there is a broader cross section between folks standing in line at a Starbucks-esque establishment trying to fuel their over-scheduled day, those whose lives are lucky enough to spend an hour having a leisurely breakfast at a local breakfast place and those that are parked around Brokaw's BBQ Hutt.
