Her: Excuse me.
Him: Yes, ma’am?
Her: I’m completely smothering my children, stunting their emotional and social development, and manipulating them into participating in activities that allow me to vicariously live through them and somehow fill my empty, unfulfilling life.
Him: That’s awful.
Her: Completely. Do you have a book filled with pseudoscience that subjectively manipulates data so as to create the false impression that my poor parenting is actually a good thing?
Him: Several.
Her: Any with a subtitle that states the warped thesis in such a dumbed down fashion that I can just point to the cover and say, “See!? Book say me no selfish. Book say me smart!”
Him: Yes. Yes we do.
So now we know why they changed the name of the first book to “Harry Potter and the SORCERER’S Stone” in the US. Wouldn’t want confusion.

What was your dream job as a child?
Anonymous
Sincere Answer: Crane Operator. “Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel” was kinda’ a big deal to me!
Ag Style Answer: Ironically, I always dreamed of being able to do your mom. Funny. Now it’s become more of a chore.

Five hundred and sixty five pages and a simple apology would have been in order in some of them. Which is to say, the great fact of those eight years is we went to war—big war, costly war—under false pretenses. And…to write a memoir in which you say essentially nothing seriously went wrong…if I wrote a memoir of my last week, I would have things to apologize for.

ABC’s This Week host, George Will, slamming former Vice President Dick Cheney for not including an apology anywhere in his new book In My Time. The release, and content, of his new book has many in Washington upset with Mr. Cheney.
Fellow former-member of the Bush administration, former Secretary of Defense Colin Powell, compared Cheney’s book to “supermarket tabloids”.

Looking to lose followers on tumblr?
Talk politics and criticize tattoos.
Want to REALLY lose them? Post this:
Glee is the worst American television show produced since Doctor Who.
Also, the Harry Potter films were awful. And I tried to read those seven books based on the movies and they were even worse.
I am stridently pro-life (I believe life begins at arousal) and also believe that abortions should be funded by money taken from your children against their will. Oh. And the abortions should be mandatory. For everyone. Male or female. Everyone must have abortions. No choice.
That should about do it. Oh! Wait! I forgot the most important one given tumblr’s core demographic:
I believe your parents are right. They’re right about your friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, hair color, clothes, and your general sullenness. I agree with them when they say that they fully understand what you’re going through and it’s really not that bad. Smile. We just want you to be happy.
Yeah. Now THAT should do it!
