I’m just trying to make it through Jan. In between petitions, protests, and midterm planning, I wanna gorge myself on the pettiest of celebrity feuds. And here’s a woman who will deliver. This way I might still have a working liver and esophagus come Feb 1, and I may actually survive the next four years.

I gotta say I’m (for once, and dear lord forgive me) on Mariah’s side on this. Used to be a technical flub like this was an embarrassment for the whole show, not just the performer. They ought to have cited technical difficulties, cut for ten, swapped out the malfunctioning part, and resumed broadcast. The voice is as

I also have been thinking that the only way to deal with sophists is to go socratic. You want to assert your crazy ass theory, burden of proof lies with the affirmative.

Forty-five minutes! Did the cops need time to finish braiding each other’s hair and rubbing each other down in olive oil, so as to be beautiful in the face of death? Sure Ms. Crazy Pants wasn’t swinging around a weapon but doesn’t mean the situation was under control. I work near my state’s capitol building and I

This right here is why my first instinct with an unruly customer is, Call the cops. “Ma’am, you are disturbing our other customers. You may either leave the store, or I will have the authorities escort you.” No one at that store has the time or the pay level to put up with that shit. And honestly, calling the cops is

Rob Lowe has more White House experience than anyone else Chief Bigot* has nominated.

This is about the point when major fires start to get national coverage in CA too (some dead, thousands evacuated, tens of thousands of acres burned), so the timing here isn’t a good example of media regional bias. Most of my family is still in CA, so every few years I get the pleasure of opening up the news and

Oh please oh please let’s not 2016 this too.

Doesn’t sound paranoid, sounds like experience living with an abusive NPD.

Cuz there’s another way this could roll too. Yesterday (Monday) a federal court ruled the gerrymandering in WI to be unconstitutional as it was able to meet a clear mathematical standard for unfairness, which is what Jus Kennedy needs to sign off on gerrymander limitations. So if this is upheld, maybe the whole WI

I’ve been trying for the last two weeks to figure out which aspect of this national nightmare bothers me the most: is it the tacit approval of the violence I’ve survived; is it the blatant targeting of members of my family for their faith and color; is it the endorsement of child abuse; is it the demeaning of LGBTQ

We agree that these are things being done to the American people, not a particular party. They are behaviors and beliefs that corrode the possibility of democratic governance. I also believe that the ill-effects of these practices will fall disproportionally on the populations that traditionally comprise the

I get the worry about the safety pins being an attempt to avoid responsibility: “no, but I’m one of the good ones, POC!” On the other hand, I’m an incest survivor and I have been having daily panic attacks since the election. I work with the public and every single person I’ve seen in the last ten days I’ve just

I like to believe Assange is trying to curry favor with Putin in the hopes that Russia will step in since Ecuador has wearied of shielding him from extradition to Sweden on rape charges.

No, you see the problem in the dem response and I see the problem in the systemic damage the GOP has wrought over the couple of decades. I think that decades of misinformation, systematic betrayal, education corruption, unprecedented gerrymandering and unprincipled brinksmanship have a way of discouraging an

That wasn’t snarky, but thanks for being an asshole anyway.

Thanks for helping me sort out some of my own thoughts on the issue, and for getting to the heart of our disagreement. We will continue to disagree on this point.

(1) In principle, yes. I didn’t get behind the lambasting Nader in 2000, I have nothinged the no shows and protest votes since. But this time we had a candidate running specifically on the promise to violate civil and human rights. I think indifference to that indicates a moral failing.

Wait, wait, wait, I wanna make sure I get this straight. You personally didn’t feel coddled enough, missed her coming by for some spotted cow and some brats, so you decided out of spite to vote for a candidate who explicitly ran on violating the civil and human rights of others. Either you’re being truthful, and are

(1) I prefer that statement; I was willing to make room for positions that want to account for enabling.
