Massholes.

In this case I do actually think it is plausible that's what she was saying the first time, because I thought it at the time when I originally read her comments.

There is no connection between size of legislature and plutocracy. New Hampshire is 6th highest on the list of states that ask their poorest 20% to pay the most and their top 1% the least. http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/02/soaking-poor-state-state It is right above Texas, with 150 state reps.

I'll restrict myself to pointing out that the outsized House passed all these bills by large majorities, while the 20 week ban, the 24 hour waiting period, and the ban on public funds were stopped in the normal sized Senate.

Neither Maggie Hassan, Carol Shea-Porter, Jeanne Shaheen, Kelly Ayotte nor Annie Kuster served in the NH House.

According to Wikipedia they only get $200 per biennium, so they're pretty crappy jobs qua jobs.

At some point this becomes counterproductive. They can't even set up 400 districts, there are only about 100 of them, so some districts have as many as 12 reps. That is unnecessary. If the US Congress had the same proportion, there would be 100,000 congressmen.

The New Hampshire State House isn't a real legislative chamber. There are 400 of them, which means one for each 3,300 New Hampshireites. You literally can't move around NH without tripping over them.

Would you trust a guy you were having a casual relationship with to have actually been taking it responsibly?

Rather than castigate a lawyer for doing what is arguably his job, I would like to change society so that no defense lawyer would imagine this could be a successful strategy. This is a symptom, not a cause.

But was she ever felt up by a tentacle?

Imma let you finish, but Frances Perkins was the greatest trailblazing female cabinet member of all time.

I prefer 1903's "Types of Canadian Women and of Women Who Are Or Who Have Been Connected with Canada". It preserves the field-guide aspect that I as an American need when reading about Canada.

That is a pathological level of deception and self-deception. They need counseling immediately.

Not the kind of sub whose discipline I'm interested in reading about.

Elephants are just deformed hippopotamuses.

Basically he thinks negging is no longer a winning strategy.

You will never convince me that this is not funny. It skewers rape culture and environmental destruction in one fell swoop. http://www.theonion.com/articles/raped-environment-led-polluters-on-defense-attorne,817/

Now playing

Have you seen this? I don't like all of it but overall it's pretty on point. "A film that conditioned a generation of girls to think that love is keeping tabs on each other every waking moment. . . . And even non-waking moments."

A fully legitimate rape whistle.
