      Grew up in SLC. She claims her family was jewish on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, and then Mormon on Sunday afternoon and the rest of the week. Or something like that. Per wikipedia.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          'I was Ambien tweeting': Roseanne Barr blames sleeping pills for racist outburst that saw show cancelled



          Is Ambien behaviour a real thing? A quick look on google says it might be.

            She's always on Ambien.
            Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

              Yes. My brother used to take ambien on our annual lake Powell trips and my kids loved to wait for it to kick in so they could ask him questions and laugh at his crazy answers. The next day he never could remember any of it.

                Ambien will fuck a person up and make them say crazy things but it won’t make them write precise racist jokes.

                I had to quit taking it. One of the reasons was I would buy shit and say shit and even go drive to the store and have little recollection of it.

                I’m not buying Rosanne’s excuse though. She has been all aboard the altright Trump train for awhile.

                  No one will believe Ambien as an excuse. Blaming Russian hackers on the other hand... now, that's a bingo!

                  In other news, the Wayback Machine russia hack affected more than Ms. Reid. For example, archived pictures from my blog now include some fair-skinned ordinary schmoe instead of what I actually look like:

                    Sure is. We kicked my mom out of our house after abusing Ambien for 3 years and not being willing to give it up. It makes you say stuff and do stuff that you wouldn't normally do.

                    Here is how you are supposed to take Ambien:

                    1. Get ready for bed.
                    2. Take Ambien and go to sleep.

                    Here is what happens with people that abuse Ambien:

                    1. I'm not going to bed for 45 minutes. But Ambien takes too long to kick in, so I'll just take one now.
                    2. Lays down an hour later.
                    3. This pill isn't working, I'm going to take another.
                    4. Did I take another pill? I don't remember, but I really should...so I will take another one now.
                    5. Sit on the kitchen floor naked with the fridge door open watching "TV". (Staring at the open fridge)

                    Wash...rinse...repeat.

                        "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                          My wife is a physical therapist by training who in the past has worked a lot with patients who suffered a recent traumatic brain injury. One of her favorite sayings is "it's not just the head injury, it's the head that gets injured." I think this applies here. Yes, a drug can conceivably make someone do something they normally wouldn't. The problem in this case is that Barr has a long history of saying things just like this. So the excuse doesn't quite make it look right in her case. She isn't a nice person who suddenly did something out of character. She's always been nasty and trashy.

                            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                              That reminds me of a curious fellow I once knew in a singles ward many years ago. He was very smart and kind of an eccentric intellectual type who was really into Jewish history and religion. He was active LDS and taught gospel doctrine in the ward but liked to practice much of Judaism in his life at the same time. He didn't grow up in it as far as I know. He used to like to talk about how Judaism and Mormonism are almost completely compatible to be practiced together.
