Leaning on lies is feels easy to get out of sticky social situations, but it can quickly become a nasty habit I never lie. Except when declining an invitation – then I always lie.Once, my fiance, Jared, and I were invited to a dinner we didn’t want to attend. We were worn out from traveling, and some of the other guests required a lot of energy to be around. I replied in the group text that we already had plans – but we were “so sorry to miss!” Jared, sitting next to me on the couch, gawped. Continue reading...

At times, the latest episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s comedy feels like it’s running out of ammo when tackling the US President.
