the Daily Show is keeping it close to home in hiring new correspondents. First Rob Coddry's brother, now Samantha Bee's husband.
Is he covering for her while she's on maternity leave?
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

I missed that it was Bee's husband! Is he the other bald guy? (Yeah, names are not my forte.)

In the words of Dennis Leary, Merry Fuckin' Christmas.
To me.
So I get, well, not woken up but forced out of bed, by a phone call this morning. From Chelsea Police. They found my car; I live in Salem.
It was there when I got home last night around 7pm. Fuckity fuck FUCK!!!
My insurance agent is closed, and of course I had to leave a message at the actual insurance company. And I don't think my insurance covers theft anyway (I got the miniumum to get it on the road since it's a 12 year old car). According to the police, they stripped the interior - door panels, stick shift, steering column, etc. So it's undriveable. And probably not going to be worth getting repaired.
Getting home for Xmas isn't the problem; I can do that. I just don't know if I can resolved this before I go, or if I have to, or.
Anyone know offhand if AAA will at least tow the thing some where for me under these circumstances? 'Course, I have no idea where I'd tow it to. Fuck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, fuck, Frank. That's raw. Ask AA or the police where to tow it to--they will have more experience with this than you will (and, damn, you should have none).

How awful Frank. I'm so sorry. Some humans suck. Do you have any other transportation options?

Ugh, that sucks, Frank. Sorry.
I'm at work today. The last thing I needed to finish before the end of the day? Done. Actually, it was done about two hours ago. The time I can leave? Six and a half hours from now. Boy, I hope they let us out early today. And lunch? Probably gonna be a long one.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Fuck indeed, Frank. That's awful. Let us hope the perpetrators get what they deserve: coal in their stockings, toe fungus, an itch that can never be scratched, boils in their private parts.

ita you are indeed a generous woman. How to choose? I may have to have a calendar in every room.

Frank, that sucks!! The cops should be able to tell you where to tow it. If you only have collision coverage, theft isn't covered. But if it's no longer drivable, there is always the possibility of selling it to a salvage yard for parts--maybe give you some money to add to a down payment on another car.
