I had to read the headline like three times to understand it. For a moment I thought they were implying the woman was very old so she shouldn’t be able to vote. Then I understood.

My nine-year history on Jezebel is an open book, free for anyone to look at and judge. You, new account with a couple dozen posts?

Once I found it, it was so obvious I can’t believe I didn’t see it right off.

Ending corn subsidies is probably the best first step I can think of. It would raise the price of beef, pork and poultry to make them less desirable and lessen the disastrous toxic waste problems that result.

It would be really amazing if our current food subsidy structure could be reworked to support small, local farms and independent, humane producers instead of the current giant conglomerates. So much federal money goes into making the really cheap food cheap; it’d be great to see those incentives improved for EVERYONE.

We’re a victim of our own success. Industrial agriculture is responsible for making it possible for a large swath of the population to spend less than 1/4 to 1/2 of their income on food. Food produced sustainably is much more expensive, and will remain so (though we will see some savings as local food networks become…

If you got so drunk that a mugger noticed and decided to take advantage of that, a lawyer wouldn’t attempt to use your drunkenness to get the mugger off charges.

One reason we get so annoyed about this is because we can follow all these dumb rules and still get raped. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped drunk. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped sober. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by strangers. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by friends. People want to set up all these…

Obviously getting helplessly drunk is unsafe for anyone, though often understandable - many people, especially young newer drinkers, do not know their own tolerances. But yes, it’s dangerous, including in and of itself.

She goes on to add that if women want to be taken seriously in our quest for equality, we really should stop yawping “rape” every time we regret a lighthearted sexual caper.

DID YOU ASK HER IF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FALL OUT AFTER THREE WEEKS?

Someone I know who gets lash extensions got sooo offended when I called them false lashes. She informed me that it was exactly the same as getting a kidney transplant, they were a part of her.

How do people like this end up in management?

What blows me away — in addition to all the other reasons outlined by Alison Green — is that the manager never offers to come in early and cover for her. When I was a manager, I would stay late with employees to help them finish earlier and get out of the office. Or I’d come in early to help them if they needed it.…

It’s like trying to blame being 10 hours late for work on missing some of the green lights.

I was going to say: maybe they’ve been punished enough, until I came to the part where the husband opened his mouth.

Sarah Palin, never change.

The Guardian had a great write-up of how immigration fear was the biggest driver of “Leave,” not immigration; in neighborhoods with large percentages of recent immigrants, the majority of British voters voted “Remain.”

I would person liken this to the time my mom told me if I didn’t quit hitting my brother she’d pull over and make me walk home... We were only a mile away but that was one loooong as walk!

its like when you were little and fighting with your brothers in the car on the way to see Tarzan and your mom said she would turn the car around if you didnt stop and you didn’t believe her so you kept fighting and then she did and your life flashed before your eyes.
