Cool. Agreed. Thanks. Now Ill return to my Elizabeth Warren admiration society meeting.

I don't think she's a fool at all. I just don't know why I'm supposed to think she's great. She has no record. She has worked (tirelessly by all the glowing accounts) to help powerful people like H. Clinton maintain power. I don't see how that commends her to those of us who would like to see public servants who stand…

Why her? Her career is built entirely on working for powerful people. She has no career connections or work other than helping powerful people maintain power. I'm all for encouraging Muslims among other groups to participate in public life (e.g., Kieth Ellison). But another beltway player? Give me Bernie Sanders and…

Why do we think she would be great? Elizabeth Warren is fantastic. Bernie Sanders is too. We need politicians who stand up to asshats, not the ones who find a way to tolerate asshattery.

It'll have to look like an accident...

Jezebel is the only place I ever hear about the whole bro thing. Is it a real thing other than when Jezebel makes fun of it?

Crazy eyes can work.

I think it's best not to ask at all. When you get to know someone well enough that they want to tell a story from their childhood or about their parents or culture, they will tell you and then you will know. I work in a very urban university. I have colleagues from all over the world in my department. I've never…

Raised-By-Heathens, you are awesome! I've been saying much the same thing about SPLC and other southern progressives for years. I live in Chicago and work at a university; it takes zero courage for me to be an outspoken progressive. It's progressives fighting the fight in red states who actually matter. Carry on and…

But, Kewlbrl, no life is trivial in God's eyes. If you think we should anoint ourselves the judges of who lives and dies, R. Perry will God smack you with his Jesus power. It's clear from his words, the way he pauses dramatically after "No life" and says it again to make it clear that all life is sacred that he would…

"No life, no life is trivial in God's eyes," said the man who just presided over Texas's 500th execution since resuming executions in the 1970s. But he said it with such conviction, including a dramatic pause, that he must really mean it, despite facts.

This is a terrific article with surprising insights in a short, glib-toned post. The thesis about venue (locker room versus bedroom) is spot on. One additional sub-point about the difference between the locker room and bedroom is flaccid versus erect. I've played sports and worked out all my life and thus been in many…
