Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think there should be a public database of anyone who tunes in to watch the live stream, so the rest of us can shun those evil voyeurs for the rest of their lives. 010
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Bill started ranting that he was a terrible person and a crook and should go to jail. (Writing MAGA scripts before MAGA 🙄) I hung up on him. Well, Bill's gone and our old man's still kicking at 94. The devil knew which one he wanted. 030
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 09/10/2026He heard my last name & asked if I was related to my father-in-law, a scrupulously honest & religious man who served in many elected, non-paid local government posts over the years. 100
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Bill ran a restaurant in the small Chicago suburb where I grew up, and the first TP office was also in town. I was teaching there in the early 2000s, knew nothing about these politics, and was trying to arrange a dinner with him for a club I sponsored. 100
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Joe should have just said he was going to shove his victory up Republicans' ass. Perfectly normal. No media outrage. 090
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 06/10/2026You know, if you'd left out "the disgraced", you might have had room for "admitted pedophile" in your headline. 010
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Who's talking violence? I was thinking more like Medusa! "Stun" does not imply striking anyone. 010
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It was the women who stormed Versailles and dragged Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette to Paris. 001
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Read Jeff Tiedrich's daily posts. He's been saying for years that the first reporter to do this should get a lifetime Pulitzer! 040
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I didn't know I was HAVING a LEEP, thought it was just a follow-up because my hobby for years was abnormal Pap smears. I had a great doc - he met me in his office 1st to talk about it & had a nurse hold my hand. The kicker? I had been in the waiting room glued to the TV...it was September 11, 2001. 000
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I saw someone comment years ago that Trump's posture looks like the front end of a centaur, and it's just dead on. JD aiming for that? 151
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It remains my favorite song all these years later! 120
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My high school students often made me think of his line, "I had the right to remain silent, but I did not have the ability." 0161
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 09/09/2026That is because men's pockets are actually a useful size! 011
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I didn't plan to get one 4 years ago, just needed a new phone and was told, "This Z-flip is coming out in two days, if you pre-order, you'll get double the memory for the same price." Sold. What I didn't expect to love about it - women's pockets are smaller, and this actually fits in most of them. 130
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I've said just charging $20 to line up to rip one piece of gold crap from the Oval Office walls should cover the cost of the spackle they're going to need to restore it to dignity. 000
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I read this in the Trib today. I come from a family of forensic scientists for the Illinois State Police, so I'm not against law enforcement. But this is so wrong. If you've served your time and been released, it's inhumane to drag you back to prison because a law changed. 010
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 21/07/2026And I saw some MAGA scum respond to it elsewhere with, "Let's hope they arrest her soon." 😕 020
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I don't just want to keep him out of Arlington. I can't bear the thought of his carcass lying in state where Lincoln's body lay. 3440
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Thank God, just got mine renewed to dodge this travesty. 020
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 21/06/2026In fairness, it's a letter to the editor. They didn't write it - I read it in today's physical paper, and every other letter was laudatory. But the Trib sure did not need to amplify it here! 1110
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Thanks for the only laugh I got out of this farce. 😊 0330
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 29/05/2026The war on protein?! Has he been down the nutrition aisle of every grocery store?? 030
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Surely coincidental that Bezos has bent the knee. 000
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Illinois teachers could not collect Social Security. Just as my federal dollars pay for something that doesn't benefit me, their state taxes pay part of my pension that doesn't benefit them. Don't make hardworking public employees the bad guys here. 020
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I get a public pension in Illinois, but I contributed over 9% of each paycheck to it, just like this letter writer probably contributed to Social Security. My federal tax dollars go to pay their additional Social Security benefits, even though at the time I retired from teaching (1) 100
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Colonel Henry Potter on M*A*S*H. I'm showing my age. 🤦🏻 000
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I'm always livid when they say he's "pondering" or "mulling" something. There's never any deep thinking going on in that dementia-ridden skull, and the only thoughts he can retrieve repeatedly are old grievances about Rosie O'Donnell and 2020. 060
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Your comment about ripping the gold crap off the White House walls ASAP...I suggested charging $100 a pop to walk in & rip something down to help pay for the spackle needed afterwards! Your Claudia was lovely & her new mom pictures are sweet. Thank you for continuing to share her with us. 010
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 19/04/2026I still can't believe we weren't barraged with interviews with neighbors/teachers/family of the shooter, that no one can remember his name. I lived through attempts on Ford and Reagan, and I still know those names decades later. Seems odd... 090
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 16/04/2026This is the most disgusting thing I've read in a long while. Absolument dégoûtant. 020
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 16/04/2026This is the most disgusting thing I've read in a while. Absolument dégoûtant. 040
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Always with the perfect quote for the day's news! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 140
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I miss your daily strips but am grateful to still see you in the Chicago Tribune on Sundays! 000
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Another girl piped up and said any girl who got it was a ho. Teacher did not contradict her. 😡 But my badass brave daughter responded, "Well, my mom loves me and doesn't want me to get cancer." 👏 190
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Not funny story - the vaccine was new when my daughter was in middle school. Of course I got it for her. Her science teacher (imposing her religion on a class discussion) said it might make girls have more sex. 130
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 30/03/2026I despise Melania. But as someone who learned a 2nd and a 3rd language and is now working on a 4th, I'll always have an accent in my fluent one, French, despite speaking it for 50 years. Slam her for the nudes, the grifter marriage, the tone-deaf job performance, but miss me with the accent jokes. 010
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I was in Dijon in France for the October one - packed little signs for my husband and me! (I'm wishing on the owl at the cathedral - bet you can guess my wish! 😉) 2194
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 05/03/2026"Hamlet". But teaching high school, I occasionally taught "Macbeth" and "Romeo and Juliet", so I have a soft spot for them. It's amazing how a quote will pop into my head all these years later. Also, imagine the fun of defining a maidenhead to high school freshmen in the first two pages of R & J! 😂 110
Kelly Ercoli @paris1983.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Someone once said he looks like the front half of a centaur, and now that's all I see when he's in that posture! 130
