Holy ass, that is the best rebuttal to a Kinja comment from a writer I may have ever seen. Read more

I live in this district of VA and it has been fascinating to watch people all over the country project their own problems and opinions on to this situation Read more

I am automatically wary of people who keep immaculately trimmed facial hair. Borders are important at the neck and cheeks but when you do weird things in the chin/lower lip area I got my eyes on you. Read more
