What about arguing with the libertarians?! I thought that was always on the table!

I just choked on my laughter. Well done!

Thanks for sharing. Just signed :-) I need to be better informed about this and that site will help a lot. Thanks again!

I totally agree! I immediately updated my status to TEAM MELLIE! She's hilarious.

She is delightful! I just checked out her Twitter and was giggling audibly in the self checkout line.

Touche... but NYC has winter and, like, double the rent! I'll take my winter :-)

I really don't get why EVERYONE doesn't live in Chicago...

Your bf sounds super smart and cool. This article was as funny as I expected and just as insightful!

Yay for Chicago Jezzies! =)

That actually sounds like something a good friend of mine would do... Very odd, but stupidly funny. :-P

Well done!

Jesus. I struggled getting through the abridged version (due to length and douchiness). Anyone else feel like they need to take a shower?

Or maybe "Dave Matthews Band" on the off chance the Feds get the wrong guys... :-D

I think you're absolutely right. And the best way is to keep having these conversations. People (many of us readers included) aren't always aware of our various privileges. But the more people talk, the more people will understand and gradually lead to a culture shift.

At least 50%... fuckers.

This is really brilliant! I'm almost squirting beer out of my nose. And if it's true, even better!

Is your handle an Eddie Izzard reference? If so, can we be friends? Plllllzzzzzzzz??

Those first two sound awesome. Where do I sign up??

I completely agree. I feel like that's the downside of the internet; expectations can get so unrealistically high. For example, all the crazy YouTube proposals, perfect pinterest weddings, etc.

I see what you did there (and there) :-P
