I ought to find out what all the fuss is about. I certainly prefer these forays into television and culture more than the what’s wrong with the Republican party posts, though I am sure they have there place too.

So maybe there’s something suspicious about someone so promiscuous as to watch both.

Something is terribly wrong with our perception of life when we determine that we couldn’t date/tolerate a person with whom we might disagree politically. I am very happy that my college student daughter and her friends seem to prefer Downton Abbey to Girls. Their preference, can make them seem to be snobs at times, but at least they don’t seem as lost and empty as the characters in Girls.

She sparked a new kerfuffle by making a clumsy comparison between dating Republicans and dating Nazi’s.

Well, no press is bad press. I tend to simpathize with Hotair’s take.
