Yeah how else are we gonna compete with China?! $3.00 an hour here I come baby!

There is such a thing as Conservative Feminism. I enjoy it - I believe in old-fashioned values like politeness and making kids get jobs. I believe kids should be allowed to walk to school alone and attend camp with no cell phones. I want Sex Ed and Home Economics in every school, and more vocational training. The…

This is what happens when your only two categories are “violent Islamic extremist terrorist” and “perfectly swell white guy”

I am a public school teacher. I am sitting at my desk, which is in a classroom in a public school full of minorities and SpEd students, and I am weeping. I have about 9 minutes left on my lunch break, and I don’t know that I can pull it together in time. I am crushed, absolutely gutted. I am afraid for my students, I…

He could have gone high and not addressed it at all, or he could have been petty but accurate and pointed out the enormous crowds he drew during his campaign. (He could even have said…
