I’m actually kind of surprised to see that all of these comments re: Meghan Trainor are negative. To me she is harmless (and will fade away into irrelevancy by the time she releases her second album), but you girls (and guys) REALLY hate the girl, huh? LOL

When someone says “life begins at conception”, try to nail them down on when conception is. Is it when the sperm and egg’s membranes fuse? Because more than 1 spermatozoon can fuse membranes. Is it when the proteases open the way through the protein layer of the egg and the oocyte’s biochemistry changes in such a way…

I think a scientific way to argue against it is to say that an embryo has more in common with a sperm or egg cell than it does a person. Given the right combination of circumstances, those can become a person too - so why draw the line at conception?

Times like these when we need Colbert back on the air. Your post reminds me of something he’d do on this with “The Word”. Good job!!

The White House needs an occupant who values and prioritizes life.

“If an embryo is not a person, what is it?”

Though he didn’t mention it in his speech, Rubio has supported three exceptions to making abortion illegal—in cases of rape, incest and if the mother’s life is at stake.

“If an embryo is “not a person, what is it? Because if you left it alone, that’s the only thing it can become,” he said. “It can’t develop into a pony!”

As an old, I distinctly remember my parents selling their house in the 70s and the neighbors pointing out that they had an "understanding" in the neighborhood that they wouldn't sell to black people. "Screw them," my dad said. "Black people's money is as green as whites and this place is going to the highest offer."

Literally what

I’m a family law attorney, and my office has been up in arms about this all week.

I once met him in a hotel bar (true story, y’all get real jealous now). He was playing piano and singing - SO HOT. When my friend and I discovered it was him, we sneakily tried to take a picture of ourselves with him in the background. He totally busted us - he sauntered over and said: girls, if you want a picture…

Dear god. My first reaction is to be disgusted with the boyfriend - but depression, suicidal tendencies, and addiction (which I assume is included here given his intoxicated state) are serious issues and I’m not sure that’s the right route. I do hope he gets help, though it’s going to be an extremely hard battle now…

You have raised that boy right!

Huh. She has a surprisingly lovely voice.

I plan on being one of those moms to my future children. “Mooo-ooom!!! Can you stop singing, we’re in PUBLIC.”

...goddammit, I know that’s just a calculated political move but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t warm the rusty, empty and necrotic cockles of my useless, cold heart.

This may not be the best to watch in the office or in public:
