@Irin Carmon: Right. Right. I guess the props make it seem like he's not serious, but then I remember how he bought a pimp costume from Spencers for his last stunt and it makes sense.

Yeah, that sounds about right: insane, entitled narcissist who doesn't watch real news assumes he can seduce legitimate anchor because he has a dildo and she has blond hair.

@Forglemmegei: I really do think that rape and kidnapping are separate from (while admittedly often linked to) Polygamy. Warren Jeff's branch of FLDS is obviously one that encourages the abuse and slavery of women, but there are FLDS (such as the Apostolic United Brethren) who are more mainstream and are intolerant…

@leftyleftylou: But even if he is a person of ethics and values, he isn't running Washington alone. Putting one person in the White House isn't going to change the entire bull-shit process. I'm not excusing everything he's failed to do, but I hate that what he has done is being completely ignored because campaign…

Not only do we as feminists not need to defend her from legitimate criticism, it would be sexist to to do so. She's an adult running for office and to abstain from calling attention to her nuttery and lack of qualifications would be condescending and insulting.

@la.donna.pietra: I love this song.

@Adah: I did not know that. Thanks!

So. Fucking. Smug.

@SlayBelle: That is a good point, but I'm assuming, based on their willingness to participate in this show, that they are more mainstream polygamists. I have limited knowledge of this, but my understanding was that FLDS like the AUB who are more mainstream are generally more interested in family cohesion and come…

@dj underboob: Even if Wife #1 is acting as a filter for the other family members, he is still expected to be a husband, father, and provider for 4 wives and 13 kids. It's hard to be emotionally available to and responsible for one wife and 3 kids (or alternatively, 1 husband and 3 kids). I'm not saying these…

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.2: Agreed. At my middle school I once watched one girl slam another visably pregnant girl's head into a brick wall. The girl fights always seemed more vicious to me.

I just don't even. Sure, why should I have to pay for anything that doesn't directly effect me? Childhood illnesses? I'M NOT A CHILD. Ball Cancer? I DON'T HAVE BALLS. Coverage for post-menopausal idiots? I'M NOT A POST-MENOPAUSAL IDIOT.

I assumed that you would know the difference between a project worthy of your talent and taking a big dump on everybody's TV set.

Why did she bring those kisses with her? Save them for the fairy orgy, Tink.

@Ginger Gal: I agree that it's more often than not at the expense of the victims, which is never OK, but there are rape jokes that aren't.

I think the point of these shows is obviously to feed our freak show fascination. Most reality shows depend on that, TLC just uses weird family arrangements instead of dumb, half-naked women.
