I get what you're saying, and Europeans certainly introduced new, terrible diseases to indigenous peoples who had no natural resistance. But it's not like indigenous communities were bastions of perfect health and sanitation pre-colonization. I am in no way saying colonialism was okay, but it's also silly to…

I'm not saying that people can't figure out how to poop when squatting. But I'm saying it feels less natural if it's not how you've done it usually. People have to sort of re-adjust. Ask anyone who has traveled to developing countries, especially in south or southeast Asia. You figure it out, but it feels awkward…

I prefer a nicely cleaned asshole, which eliminates any backdoor itchiness and immensely helps my pregnancy-related hemorrhoids. I'm not too good for TP, but ass wipes make me cleaner and healthier overall if you count their positive roid impact, so what's the harm? I don't flush them though, I wrap them in a little…

Eloquent enough, my dear. I feel the same. It's not just the sexting. It's that he seems like such a complete dick. I have to question the judgement of anyone, man or woman, who chooses a complete narcissist as a spouse.

I'm not really eloquent enough to be participating in a discussion about this, but I'm at the doctor's and bored, so here goes...

This. I believe that Clinton values Abedin. Everything I've read and seen suggests this is true, and Abedin has been very loyal to Clinton even through her darker days. However, I just don't see how Clinton can continue to have her name linked to dick-wagging Anthony Weiner. It brings back the exact same narrative…

Does it not reflect her judgement AT ALL that she married and stayed with this guy?

Hillary Clinton may be sympathetic to Ms Abedin — I'm sure she is. But that's not an important part of her political calculus. The only issue that matters for the Clinton camp is whether or not Ms Abedin can help Hillary Clinton win the presidency and then excel in that job. All other considerations, including and…

Right, but Bill Clinton's indiscretions didn't destroy his career, they destroyed Newt Gingrich's career. Bill Clinton left office with an approval rating north of 60 percent and he's still very popular today due to his Global Initiative and fond memories of the prosperity during his presidency.

So Huma has to pick between the personal and the professional? No surprise there. We all have to make that choice, somehow. (Given Huma's personal choices so far, I hope she picks the professional.)

But if any boss is likely to understand how awful and silly and unfair it is to be burdened with your husband's…

I don't see the problem here. If Ms Abedin is serious about a career as an adviser to Hillary Clinton, she should rid herself of Anthony Weiner. Nobody, apart from Weiner himself, would blame her. Problem solved.

So, what you're really saying is that two brilliant female comedians who have proven time and again that they're not bigots, quite the opposite, and who thrive in nuance and satire should dumb down or not say something at all because other people are too stupid to get it, and people who aren't too stupid to get it are…

The biggest internal enemy of the black community are those within it who rush to validate and justify every display of ignorance we try to pass off as our "contemporary culture." Twerking ain't classy and it never will be. It's not some deep African American expression of the nobler stirrings of the soul. Get…

I took it to mean that, since twerking is a pretty sexual type of dance (which is perfectly fine as far as that goes), it's degrading to be ordered to perform it in front of other people for their sexual gratification when it's not what you feel comfortable doing. Sort of like, if I wore a miniskirt because I wanted…

Except the context was there: two people were trying to get NPH to do something he was uncomfortable with simply for their sexual gratification. That is degrading, not the act of twerking in general. That is consistent independent of race, gender, or sexual orientation. "Twerking on comand" not just twerking because…

I'm familiar with twerking through NOLA bounce music and culture, but when I see /hear media outlets talking about twerking I assume they're talking about what Miley Cyrus does (NOT twerking) and I assume that's what they were talking about here.

Twerking is just booty-centric, sexually provocative dancing. It has nothing to do with race.

Wow. I'm glad I didn't invite you to my Emmys party.

I bow down to their genius. They are just so dynamic and brilliant and are always the highlight of whatever awards show it is.
