One note for commenters....Please watch your comments. Just because you don't like a woman doesn't make misogynistic comments about looks and emotional behavoir okay. There is plenty to criticize here without resorting to looks or accusing a woman of being hysterical. Thanks so much.

The kitchen looked like a mausoleum. Not a single photo or cannister or dish towel or fruit bowl or cookie jar or...and the insulting fantasy that a US senator can work in Washington DC and still choose to frame herself as "America's Mom," is a political felony, an assault on women everywhere who know that working even 15 minutes from your house and raising a family means that every day you come home to a kitchen that isn't on fire is a good one.

My fiancé and I were beside ourselves watching this last night. I mean yes she said some disturbing things but it’s the way she said it that made it truly unhinged.

I felt like she was trying to get me to join her sex cult. Ma’am why are you smiling so much while talking about gang rape? And whispering like you broke into my house in the middle of the night? Please, I need a young priest and an old priest…

Oh. My. Gawd. Swing…and a miss 😂😂😂

Sen. Katie Biggs’ Republican response to the SOTU was a hilarious, pathetically-contrived, disingenuous disaster of blatant bullshit and breathless, bizarrely overacted pseudo-drama.

This is what happens when sociopaths attempt to mimic & modulate human emotion or “concern” and “empathy”, lol.

The tattered remains of the MAGA-mutated GOP is in its death-throes…

They’re finished.

Slay. "a pot roast of racism served with a heaping side of straw man."

Love the dingus bracket. Hate the double capcha I had to do for every single vote. And the spammy ad at the bottom that had a misleading button encouraging me to "confirm entry."

That's a million dollar kitchen, not a middle class one, trust me. That stuff is expensive.

I mean if you are going to double down on speaking from the kitchen, at least make sure it isn't the most depressing looking kitchen one has ever seen.

Josh Hawley vs Mike Johnson? Two dingii meeting in such an early bracket bring a tear to my eye 😢 😂

When I went to bed last night my final thought was that I couldn’t wait to read all about Katie Britt in your newsletter in the morning. You never disappoint!

I had class last night, so I'm working my way through the SOTU at work. Then I'll wade through the rebuttal (shudder).

But more importantly than ALL OF THAT NONSENSE (and definitely Katie Britt) is that I got to finally read This American Ex-Wife, which was FANTASTIC. So, I boostered for it in my newsletter today because everyone, EVERYONE, should read it:

A good thing I did last week was provide the most awkwardly timed recommendation for your new book, Lyz! I was standing at the right place at the right time during a pre-church choir rehearsal and accidentally got to witness a dear friend's marriage, and before the ink was dry on that certificate I deadass blurted out "I have a book you should have read!" She DOES want to read it, so...

I'm 60, and my kitchen has NEVER been that clean and empty, unless I was moving.

One of my favorite beers was a Grimbergen, also brewed by Monks, in the Cirque du Gavarnie, after a 7 mile hike up there. I was hot, and only had enough cash for one. Probably a good thing, since I still had to hike back down. I’ve looked for it here in the US but it wouldn’t be as good without the view.

Love that yellow wallpaper reference.
