There are a lot of people who aren't wealthy who have horses. In areas where land is plentiful and cheap, a middle-class family can easily keep a couple horses without breaking the bank.

People did not suddenly get worse. There have always been scammers and thieves and murderers and rapists. Always. Age just makes people nostalgic, and failing memory makes them less aware of times they were in potentially dangerous situations in the past.

I read too fast and saw "Mindy Kaling on Diversity Complaints: 'I'm Fucking an Indian Woman.'" That would have been a much more interesting story!

I'll let you peek in my mouth and see the downside of not growing up with flouridated water.

Actually, the beans at Taco Bell are vegan.

If you feel icky about having them in your home, you could donate them to a thrift store that is run by a progressive church or one that supports battered women or gay teens or something like that.

That "voices in her head" tweet is awful. When will mental illness stop being a punchline?
