The Cursing Mommy

Since 2009, the New Yorker's expert humorist Ian Frazier has written columns ostensibly penned by an overworked and easily exasperated houswife, the Cursing Mommy:

• Easy Cocktails from the Cursing Mommy - the Cursing Mommy explains how to ease daily tensions with a vodka gimlet

• The Cursing Mommy Cooks Italian - when a simple risotto goes sets the kitchen afire, the Cursing Mommy momentarily loses her composure

• Rx from the Cursing Mommy - the Cursing Mommy inadvertently staples healthcare forms to her favorite blouse

I especially enjoy how, years after their removal from power, the Bush Administration and Dick Cheney remain prime cursing targets.
