I say this as someone who has no problem consuming what’s usually classified as “trash TV.” It just seems something that’s extra sad, the sparkly, unitard-laden resting place where reality television stars go to die. Anyways, Sean Spicer is on […]

I’m tired this morning, probably because I couldn’t sleep after digesting the spicy serving of man drama The Bachelorette served up for us last night. I know you all terribly missed my update last week, and for that I’m sorry. Your correspondent was on a flight somewhere over Georgia when the show aired, and […]

But […]
