@20: Not only was our tuition more affordable -- they taught us how to spell words like "trolley" and "nickel."

I imagine that one of the videos I can't see on mobile makes it clear that the "thumbs down" comes from Mrs. Poppy Bush and not Jenna's sister.

@17: North Dakota is where my career in broadcasting started and ended. It's also where I saw the crash-and-burniest anchoring debut ever, on a late-night weekend newscast. It started out with the talent introducing himself by saying, "Good evening. I'm Dennis Bounds -- as in 'out of.'" It went downhill from there. Wonder what happened to that guy?

Fred Casely commented on Sunday Morning News.

From Douthat's NYT column column today, "Marriage Looks Different Now":

There are plenty of interesting arguments, often from gay writers, about how the march to gay marriage might be influencing heterosexual norms — from Alex Ross’s recent musings in The New Yorker on the sudden “queer vibe” in straight pop culture to Dan Savage’s famous argument that straights might do well to imitate the “monogamish” norms of some gay male couples. It’s only the claim that this influence might not always be positive that is dismissed as bigotry and unreason.

The word divorce has entered our conversations lately

Since he uses the passive voice here, it's pretty safe to assume the divorce talk came from her. Feel bad for the dude, but my money's on scenario #2.
