There is nothing funnier than a rape joke, people! You are all wrong.

I am American. Regardless of history, that is a very dangerous leap to make. The fact that other guilty white people have pinned crimes on black people has no bearing whatsoever on whether Amanda Knox tried to blame a black person because she was guilty. She could have been panicked, confused, tired, delirious,…

I think she's innocent. Even if she did do it, though, there is simply not enough evidence to prove it. I think it's important to require prosecutors to prove their cases beyond a reasonable doubt when someone's life or freedom is on the line. The Italian police and prosecutors simply did not prove their case here. It…

Cathy is one of those people who just makes me lose my shit. She's a very nice person - I've met with her several times as part of the effort to pass the ABLE Act - but she (like other Republicans I've met with about disability issues) just doesn't get the irony of wanting to force women to stop aborting babies while…

I was blown away by this! As for the music, people will either enjoy it or not. However, to anyone complaining of tackiness or the fact that many of the performers were hetero, I would offer my experience tonight. I, as a young closeted gay was able to watch this with my deeply religiously conservative family in…

Yeah, or at least that this puts on the books that this hospital was acting outside of the bounds of the law. Even a law professor who helped draft the thing said the hospital was wrong.

Honestly? I hope if he does the ensuing shitstorm completely tanks Abbott's gubernatorial ambitions.

Let's assume this fetus were viable. And then it would be born with a ton of special needs and health problems and likely need care 24/7.

Okay, Leslie Knope. Calm down over there!

Now listen, if you don't drink soda, do not chime in with "that's why I don't drink it" or "glad I don't drink it" because fuck you, okay? This is not about you. This is about us, the people who love soda."

Best line from a Jezebel article or Greatest line from a Jezebel article?

I went for Jimmy Eat World. I don't care what anyone says, I will always love Jimmy Eat World. They made it totally worth witnessing the shit show that was 30 seconds to mars.

I agree. My parents paid for my college almost completely. I was responsible for living expenses. Living off campus was expensive and a luxury so for my sophomore and senior year I lived in a private single room in a co-op where I did chores and maintained a 3.8 or above to stay in cheap housing. I saved money and…

Sallie Mae is the most terrible, awful, soulless company. All of my student loans are through them and I have been spoken to like trash by many different reps. I had a rough time finding a well paying job after graduation in 2008 (imagine that, having a hard time finding employment during a recession!) and they…

It pisses me off in general just how god damn expensive it is to get an education of any sort now in days. Keep the poor poor and the rich rich, I guess.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for debt forgiveness, I can tell you I don't have a drop down menu for that. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you set…

I tried subscribing to it as well, but my subscription was sold to me by a young man who claimed he used to smoke crack. I gave him $20 and never saw one magazine....I suppose it's for the best. That magazine is a piece of shit

Every time Polanski is mentioned people mention that he's a hideous rapist. Every time.
And the fact that Polanski, Russel, & Allen are hideous, doesn't make Brown less of an abusive asshole.

I grew up in Mexico and now I live in both the northeast and Texas (commuter, academic couple). And my husband and I want to eventually get the hell out of Texas. I know exactly what you mean. I also grew up anti-choice. I also realized abortion is about the right of women to our bodies. I feel you sister.

This is exactly how I feel. I live in Texas, and I absolutely NEED to leave, but I can't afford to, at least right now. These "lawmakers" and people who are supposed to be acting with the public interest in mind AREN'T. They might as well just say, "Ain't nobody suppostah touch you down there 'cept your husband and…

Maybe we should write the Texas Chamber of Commerce and let them know what this stance is doing to their state. I have turned down assignments as a travelling nurse to go to Texas because of this stuff. I think they only hurt themselves by aligning with these pols.
