OMG, please keep your voice down. If he hears you he will have a red-faced shit fit and climb through your TV screen into your home and make you wish you had never opened your mouth. And the rest of us will have to listen to it. See Mika's micro-expressions for confirmation of this. Joe doing Southern Man is the worst, the absolute worst. Insult to injury, he thinks it is amusing. What I found entertaining was the wide shot of the guests who were struggling to keep a straight face while he screeched and droned on and on and on. He is manic, and way, way out of control. It's like watching Kanye Scarborough.

OK, well, they can just quit (or not start) with making it religious persecution. It is exceedingly tragic, yes, but they live in Mexico because of the laws in the US against polygamy. Even tho the majority of cartel victims are not mormon they will use this as religious propaganda. They are experts at running back and forth across the border while bleeding the beast. They use an address in the US to qualify for AFDC including cash grants, Medicaid and food stamps. (I realize that those terms are outdated but I'm a COL). One of the victims was 43-years-old. Being that close in age I wonder how well (and if) she and Christine knew each other. Joel LeBaron's daughter, Ruth Warriner, wrote a memoir called The Sound of Gravel about living in Mexico while collecting benefits in the US. High rates of birth defects and mentally impaired children, living in filth, eating rotten food, and just plain stupidity that actually killed children. Gah! It's a story that is repelling yet compelling. And nothing has changed today.

At least nine fundie LeBarons were massacred on a highway in Mexico by cartel members yesterday. All were women and children. Surely they were Christine's aunts or cousins or some such. All snarking aside, this is a tragedy. My condolences to her.

The poll results are skewed right out of the gate because, honestly, which voting demographic still has a land line? Which demographic answers the phone when it rings/when an unknown number calls instead of letting it go to voice mail? The olds, for the most part, that's who. Telephone polls are unreliable indicators. I've said it before and I'll say it again - 99.9% of those who speak out/act out against MFA already have health insurance. "So, fuck the rest of you losers."

You know your culture is in a very sad state when the average person knows the difference between expensive and inexpensive plastic blow-up sex dolls. The end is nigh.

Hey, Barnicle, If I get two paychecks per month and $220 is deducted from each check that's $440 in monthly premiums. If my MFA tax is $440 per month then I am paying the same amount, yes? (Or perhaps less, who can say at this point). The first option ensures a profit for the insurance company plus an obscene level of compensation for the company's executives. Oh, and it covers my health care IF my claims are approved. The second option does not bankroll profits or obscene compensation and my claims will be approved. I think I liked him better when he was making an honest living as a plagarist.

After reading her twitter just a few times awhile back I came to the conclusion that someone did a really good job of raising that girl - she is the epitome of a gentlewoman. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (This concludes today's episode of An Atheist Interprets The Bible).

His kids with Susan are Jack, 11, and Katherine, 16. I hope dad duty is code for "sometimes Mika is specifically excluded from participating." I say this because one morning on the show, while we knew about their affair but most of the world did not, Mika reached out and fondly rumpled Jack's hair while Susan looked like she was swallowing her tongue.

She's a Brown. I bet she showers in the morning, goes through her day, ends up with filthy feet and jumps right into bed like that. You know she does. My hell, your bed is your shrine. At the very least, use the shower wand on your feet or wash your feet in the shower spray. And don't forget your tee tee.

Did she examine the proven link between miscarriage and the rootin' tootin' consumption of alcohol? If so, I missed it along the way.

During pre-history, under The Matriarchy, important things like lineage and assets were traced via the maternal line. It could never be said with certainty who sired an infant but births were, if not public affairs, at least heavily witnessed and the identities of mothers were rarely in doubt. The cause and effect of the sire's role was not obvious in the earliest days. It took a long time for realization to set in that a birth today is linked to an act 9 months ago. Obviously, females were the ones who first realized the link between the two acts. It's also thought that females invented agriculture and pharmacology, and that females were the earliest humans to stand on two limbs and walk and run - because it allowed them to migrate and flee while holding infants and small children with their other two limbs. Females were seen as wondrous, magical creatures who bled every month without obvious trauma or injury and then stopped bleeding without obvious intervention. And they were the ones who carried new lives inside their bodies. Crones were seen as being especially wise and mystical because they no longer bled and their bodies retained the essential fluids of life. Those were the days, my friends, we thought they'd never end. And then here and there, over time, males realized that they could overpower females without consequence or penalty. Male-centric religions arose and replaced The Matruarchy with aggression and lust for wealth under the guise of "We are doing this for your benefit. We are men of god, after all, we can be trusted." I think we know how that ended ...

Hey Yeah No, I would like you to know that I gave your post a Like but I wanted equally to give it a Useful, a Sad, and a Surprise. You withstood a trauma that would fell a speshul snowflake and you're still standing, and you're here to tell your tale. You succinctly stated some sad, ironic, inexcusable and significant truths. Bless your heart, with the most honest and sincere meaning behind that term. Older/mature women hold up their portion of the sky with grace and wisdom and are too rarely appreciated for doing so. COLs - ooh rah!

I don't remember seeing this at the time: "Meghan Said She Was Hurt By Sherri Telling Her To Lighten Up" on WWHL

My hell, Robert's costume is funny! No idea what/who he is, probably a movie or game I never heard of, but way funny nevertheless. Is Robert The Brown a play on Robert The Bruce? If so, I am impressed.

Ha! How is this for being klutzy? I have never fallen down the stairs (knock wood) but I have lost track of how many times I have fallen going up the stairs. My bony shins were not designed for that and OMG how embarassing when there are witnesses! "Watermelon Man" Gallagher riffed on totally accidentally banging his new baby's head while going through a doorway when he was new at holding her. "She didn't even cry. She just looked up at me like, "Are you that fucking stupid?" That's the look I get when people see me fall going upstairs. The silver lining is they're too busy being disgusted to laugh.

On Ellen's show today Garth Brooks shared about being called out in Haiti by President Jimmy Carter, who is a COD (cool old dude). The clip is about 5 minutes long and it takes awhile to get there but it's worth the wait.

Oh man, I used to love that commercial! "She sounds hideous!" LOL The Brush family costumes were fun individually and A+ as an ensemble.

All three of Ivana's kids are bow wow wows. Ivanka was a cute girl until her teens and then she turned butt ugly and was saved only by her numerous procedures. I do like that saying "I want someone to look at me the way Ivanka looks at Justin Trudeau." LOL. I don't pay Dish for local channels so I will have to get by with reading here and watching for clips online. I'm expecting it to be cringe worthy. Yay!

Because Big Brother Sister was watching, and waiting and panting to see who she could drag into the counselor's office. There were no options except expulsion for pregnant girls, there was no alternative school in those days. But like I said, The Guys Were Untouchable! If you dated one guy your entire career and came up pregnant you were expelled and he was still Da Man, Prom King, MVP and all that shit. Our band didn't have uniforms but there was a fucking nice travel bus for the football, basketball and baseball teams. Our grades 9-12 high school in our population 6000 town had only 400 students. Imagine what they would've done for the boys if they had some real bucks to spend! Imagine what Rach could do with a story like that today - because for sure bullshit like that still goes on in lots of small towns (in the South, no doubt) but nobody talks about it. I remain convinced of that.

I'm a sucker for Flo so I liked how Maddie looked. I didn't realize that Axel was Mayhem - heh, heh, great job with that one. He made me laugh even tho I didn't know who he was. Evie is darling, she can be whoever she wants but I'm with you, who is Caleb?

WTF MIssouri, indeed. When I was in high school in the '60s, the gym teacher tracked periods. Every student had a number that was assigned in alphabetical order by last name. As we stepped out of the actual shower room and into the foot bath filled with freezing cold gray jello, the teacher stood there with a clipboard and barked "Number" at us real loud before we could even say it. When you were menstruating you kept your panties on in the shower and added the word "dot" to your assigned number when she barked for it. Those who hadn't started menstruating by age 15 or 16 (like me) were teased mercilessly because, between barking sessions, the shower clipboard hung where everyone could see the monthly sheets for all seven classes, every day. The varsity jocks thought it was a riot to sit in the main hallway and loudly and ostentatiously offer Kotex to those who didn't yet need them. "Somebody oughta get some of this one while she's still safe." Fun, fun. Some girls who got pregnant weren't sharp enough or dishonest enough to say "dot" when they weren't dotting and just by looking at the shower sheet everyone knew who would soon be disappearing from the student body. And of course no one was checking on the sex lives of the guys. I was among the few who knew that our head cheerleader was 7 months along at graduation and got away with it because she had the dot thing down. OK, maybe students don't have any rights - but now grown ass women don't either? Sometimes the news makes you want to throw back your head and howl at the cruelty and unfairness everywhere you look.

I think the first three count on The Big Scoreboard In The Sky because, whether your team is AUB or FLDS or LDS, those three souls were saved from going into Gentile wombs. Whew, close one! Whether or not that tenant (LOL) still exists in Robyn's heart remains to be seen. And ITA with you, any remaining semblance of a religious aspect exists only to pander to the programming gods at TLC.

I'm not sure which way I go with the likelihood of Robyn birthing #6. Janelle and Christine each have 6 kids so both have saved 6 souls from the limbo of the Pre-existence. Robyn has saved only 5 souls thus far. Maybe it will come down to how competitive she is. Or maybe saving one less soul but having legal rights to Kody's peen tips the balance for her.

(I've been sick and haven't posted for awhile). You asked, because on 10/25 I said: If you're asking where I heard of it, a long time ago I took a class in Comparative Religion. There were lengthy discussions about how mentally ill Christian men usually think they are God - or leaders like Moses and Abraham - and mentally ill Christian women tend to think they are saints or messengers, like Joan of Arc. There are many articles online discussing this concept, here is a link to one of them: https://www.verywellmind.com/religious-factors-in-bipolar-disorder-380485
