I was just talking to my mother on the phone and she mentioned (in the same conversation) having spoken with 3 out of 4 of my siblings. I was somewhat startled and asked her if she spoke to all of her children every day. She said, “Well, no. Just you, Matthew, and Donald. Unless one of your brothers has done something bad and...

Wealthy politicians with federal health insurance don’t get to drag their heels on health care reform under the guise of taking measured steps and then wonder what the rush is.

I love this (and mandy).
While we differ a bit / a lot in our marriage ideas: I mostly assume that since everyone I love (parents, husband-to-be, close friends) is wonderful and thinks I’m wonderful, concepts like females as property, games like “whose ring is bigger”, and ideas that white means i’m trying to fool anyone don’t pertain to me. I know that society...

P.S. It amuses me that they talk about the “pre-1960s” houses without air-conditioning as though they were ancient. My house is from the 1860s—when *gasp* there wasn’t any air-conditioning either. The article was true in this regard though: living with pre-chilled air really isn’t that bad most of the time. But I’ll be damned if I’m trading in my newly-available (due to...

Dear 2009 Class Committee,
Stop using the word “raging” in every email. Most of our fellow classmates have spent the last four years being uptight/lame/awkward… they’re not suddenly going to change because it’s senior week. Good day.
Note: Wearing sunglasses indoors does not constitute “raging”. You look like a fool.
