I'm heading down to the Capital after work (my boss is pretty cool and is letting me leave early!)

When they show the wide angle, it looks like a lot of the chairs are empty. These dicks aren't willing to be there and listen to the objections of their constituents? Shameful.

I don't have time today, but she also needs your stories. She needs to stay on-topic, otherwise they'll end her filibuster, so if you can share your 500-word story, it'll help keep her going.

I'm a Hispanic who was accepted into UT in 2008. I sincerely hope that I was the so-called "undeserving" minority that took your place, Ms. Fisher.

I love having the affirmative action argument with people (more likely than not they are white). Always they think it is unfair that the "minorities" (read African-American and Hispanic people) get into college and get jobs based on their race.

Fox News introduces new cooking show in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

So freakin' true. I worked at the customer service counter of a store because I'm good at fake smiles and placating tones (it comes in handy sometimes). However, so many men (especially dudes twice my age) took this as a sign that they could comment on my looks and/or hit on me. Dude, I'm smiling because it's my damn…

By smiling and not accepting their advances you tempted them, led them on, made the initial advance, friend-cornered them. You monster.

Your move Arizona.

I would think her financial adviser is most upset at the mistake of not settling the damn lawsuit that brought all this too light. I don't know how much the woman was suing for, but I've got to think it's less than the money she'll lose in endorsements and contracts.

"That sign has really paid for itself over the years."

This would be a great opportunity for her to open up a discussion about race and language, right? Instead, she just wants people to stop being mad at her.

You know what? Settle up generously with the employee suing you for maintaining a hostile work environment and I'll listen. If you actually get that it's wrong to speak/act/joke like that, then you should understand why that person is entitled to compensation. But this apology + continuing to fight that suit =…

She did the apology in REDFACE?!? Not cool, Paula. Not cool.

She writes for The Root now, but she used to have an AMAZING blog. She doesn't update this anymore, but you will fall down the rabbit hole into amazingness.

I do, and she's fucking hilarious. Seek more of her; you will not be disappointed.

Same person was the biggest voice behind #PaulasBestDishes (the one I posted about on GT). Good egg, her.

I was there! Some women had been waiting since 1 pm to testify and didn't get the opportunity. They seemed to be hearing people in alphabetical order not by first come, first serve. (Except for the people FOR the bill they let them go at the beginning)

I read "PAULA DEEN'S DEPO" and was like NUH UH THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN INJECT BUTTER AS BIRTH CONTROL.
