Men are bad, women are good.

White people are bad, "People of Color" are good.

Heteros are bad, gays are good.

The USA is bad, Country X [whatever it may be] is good.

These are articles of faith in the Proggie Religion.

Yes. I can share. I can do that. I can. I will. I mean, I don't need the whole thing, right?

Gluten free life is tough. We need to stick together.

True story - I was out with Eldest Daughter and her boyfriend at a nice restaurant on Saturday. I was questioning the server about gluten ingredients and she suggested I order something served on a bed of orzo. I pointed out that orzo is made from wheat and she said, "Oh no, it's made from semolina!"

My husband found a frozen meal that swore it was gluten free and it had the same issue. Semolina apparently isn't interpreted as wheat by many people. Sigh.

I've always thought "The Interesting Times" would be a great name for a newspaper---or news-blog.

Can't say as we have great faith in them, either. Of course, they have this hidden behind a pay wall.

The NY Pravda called the Babylon Bee a fake news site - they sued and got an apology.

The Bee is more accurate than the TImes I think.
