I don’t know the first thing about Shakira and still don’t know that much about her, but I’ve watched her on The Voice and I’m really impressed. For onr thing, she’s just flat-out beautiful. She’s one of those women who could come out wearing baggy jeans and a t-shirt and still look like a million bucks.

But what I really like about her is her kindness and her knowledge of music. She guides these contestants from start to finish, and she knows how to coach them and bring out their best qualities. She’s very astute and very intelligent, and she knows the music industry from all angles.

So, I’m a fan. And my word, how does she bend like that?!

“I’m melting, I’m melting!”

We sure dodged a bullet on this guy as President. Why, with his forward-thinking ways about marriage and life experiences, we would be zooming right to the 1940’s! Thanks, Mitt!

I don’t know how you get anything done at home. I would be smooshing those jowls and floppy ears all day long.

Yeah, Glen, here’s what that bully said:

“Senators say they fear the N.R.A. and the gun lobby. But I think that fear must be nothing compared to the fear the first graders in Sandy Hook Elementary School felt as their lives ended in a hail of bullets. The fear that those children who survived the massacre must feel every time they remember their teachers stacking them into closets and bathrooms, whispering that they loved them, so that love would be the last thing the students heard if the gunman found them.”

So fuck you all the way to hell, Instapundit.

Is it “slobber, dear” or “slobbered ear”?

Either way, even when they’re gross, they’re adorable.

Yay! More TBogging! Bring it on!

I just love seeing the hounds racing around the backyard, baying, ears swinging…oh, wait.

Such good dogs! I can’t believe how much time has passed. We lost our cat Jingles about that time and I still miss her, too.

Yeah, that started off like a “Dear John” letter and I got that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach…so I’m glad we can still look forward to some tbogg genius, if only in smaller doses.

I understand the burnout or the time cramps, but I hope an intermittant schedule of posts will let you stay here. We are selfish brats, but we do love you. And them dawgs.

Gee thanks, Kathryn! Can you give me advice on how to raise my kids, too? Since you seem to know everything about relationships and family and all, you must be qualified, even if you’ve never experienced any of it.

Jesus Christ, what a moron.

Oh, take good care and get well soon, TBogg. The flu will suck the strength right out of you.

“Luther” is outstanding. I’ve watched the entire series twice and am waiting impatiently for the next. Idris Elba is simply amazing in this role, which allows me to forget his embarrassing performance in “Prometheus”. And he was brilliant in “The Wire”, so I guess everyone is allowed a stinker on his resume at some point.

Feel better soon!

One of the segments at that horrifying link is “Guns are Safe and Sexy”

jesus christ. This is why this country is so fucked.

If Wembley could talk, he would sound just like Droopy Dawg, my old cartoon hero. Those first photos where his paws looked as big as platters still crack me up, and I wish I could feel one of those long, wide ears. They look like velvet.

Happy birthday, sweetums! You and your canine brother have many adoring fans across the country!

And I recently saw an overhead photo of Papa’s castle-shaped mansion, with a garage that’s twice the size of my house. So, fuck you, Papa J, you disgusting, selfish dick. If you can afford a jillion dollar castle, you can afford to pay your employees a decent wage with health care.

PS, your pizza tastes like crap.

Native Ohioan here, and please don’t paint us all as stupid. We have our share of idiots, okay, maybe more than our share, but there are plenty of educated, progressive, talented and smart folks here. Ohio has been subjected to more shitty ads, flyers, and camapign visits than probably any other state, so have mercy on us. I’ve quit watching TV until after the election, it’s gotten so bad.

So we’re hoping for a big win by Obama so maybe some of these morons will throw themselves into the closest body of water and reduce their population.

Ann has always been a mean, cruel harpy. The fact that she has published books is an insult to real writers everywhere. I actually can’t believe she’s still around; certainly her acidic bile should have completely consumed her by now.

Our dog Wendy does that too, and usually drools around it. Not a pretty picture.

Well, you nailed it, TBogg. I was squirming in my seat, shouting at the President to SAY SOMETHING in revuttal to those outrageous lies Romney was pooping out. It was happening in slow motion, like a fly being drowned in amber.

Let’s hope Obama wakes up for future debates and stops with the Mr Rogers routine. (Mr Rogers was on PBS, too)
