So the Pope thinks that women should get equal pay and be treated equally. Isn’t this a bit hypocritical coming from a man who heads a church that has denied women equality for over 2000 years?
What the hell?
In a little over one week, my hot water heater blew up, my cable box on my tv died and my toilet flusher thingy gave up the ghost. Hello out there? Who put a curse on me?
Here’s how you know you’re old
You are watching a TV show about transgender issues with two transgender panelists and the discussion ranges over just about every area you can imagine given the topic, and you are old enough to remember when Rob and Laura couldn’t sleep in the same bed on TV even though they were married.
Throw the bums out!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something as pathetic as our esteemed leaders in Juneau begging the press corps to carry their message to Alaskans that there just isn’t enough money in the budget for frivolities like education or health care.
