Just a girl

“She gets migraines” is the new “but what if she’s on her period” and it’s equally silly.

Coupon headache

Before I walk in the grocery, I – 1. pull out only the coupons that I need and 2. throw away *expired coupons. When I arrive at the checkout – 1. I do not go to a ten and under line if I have coupons and 2. I hand the clerk my coupons before they […]

“strategies”

When the southern strategy was cleverly played to use fear and ignorance for political gain, did people know it was happening the way we are currently aware of the religion strategy being used for the same political game?
