So now all of a sudden we have winter again, complete with multiple power outages, and I'm all, like, huh? But, but, but I thought I was totally pretty much prepared, and then I found that I'm all, like, caught with my pants down. Again.

Republicans claim their election success is a...

I was taller than most of the boys in my class, and I wore size 9 ½ shoes. Feet of that magnitude on an 11-year-old girl held a promise of height-riches untold. I still recall the tragic day in high...
