This white woman stumbled upon the term "resentniks"

and LOVES that description. It’s perfect!

They're always "horrified" after the fact,

or when they get caught.

Stuff like this has made me so freakin’ cynical.

October 22, 2018

No kidding.

Righteous!

Tell it! Preach it!

God, I remember how hard it was for us when I went on maternity leave from the AP. We were only covered for six weeks after I stopped working. Although I could stay out comparatively long, there was NO coverage after that six weeks. We had to buy in with the Cobra program. It was almost three times as expensive! It was cripplingly expensive. Excruciatingly expensive! I had a good job that was held for me and we made it. Barely. And we were among the lucky ones. But MAN it was rough.

Amazing photos!

Merde!

But I’m afraid that’s as far as I go...

Wouldn't surprise me.

Scalise survived. Heather did not.

I feel like we’re falling back on the old “Both sides! Both sides!” I find them HARDLY comparable. Unless one considers an anthill and MT Rainier to be “comparable”.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
