What's troubling to me is that Walker has some very valid critiques of Israeli policy. But when she starts to conflate Israel with ALL OF JUDAISM, she's wading right into anti-semitic waters and those arguments lose legitimacy.

Alice Walker has repeatedly crossed the line between legitimate criticism of Israeli government policy and outright anti-semitism. The donors didn't forbid her from attending; they just weren't willing to pay for her to do so. I don't think they should be faulted for that. Additionally, if she felt so strongly about…
To me, Robin Thicke just looks like a "hot dad." Not a pop star, but the hot guy at the wedding reception.
I am on the same page as you. BREAKING: People at a club hit on one another. Film at 11.
Jay Z looks like he just discovered a miniature family of gnomes living in the back of his wife's hair. And the gnomes are listening to Harry Belafonte.
RAMDALF.
I love that moment of the day when Jez goes from "Let's take on the soul-crushing patriarchal machine," to "Oh, fuck it, let's laugh at some animals."
The first time my husband held a baby was when the doctor plonked our son in his arms. He is currently a kickass stay-at-home dad.
Well, when I tried to cover that with the "time consuming and tiring" but you're right, it is mentally difficult. I guess my point was that every single adult in the history of the world has managed so I think this guy can, too.
You only "suck" at taking care of kids because you choose to. It isn't rocket science. It isn't even that difficult. It is time consuming and tiring, sure, but any moron (as proven through millennia of human history) is capable of taking care of kids.

The element of this that no one is discussing is that much like summonses, the NYPD has quotas to hit on stop-and-frisks. So cops go out, under the direction of the COs, and are told "I want 10 this month." And they MAY spot a guy or two who has a weird pocket bulge that could be possibly, maybe a gun, but more than…
AMEN! I started hanging out here because I was drawn by the awesome combination of intelligent conversation and frequent snark. But because of the dog piling that increasingly happens to those with viewpoints that run even the slightest bit counter to the prevailing orthodoxy, I'm longing for greener, less…
I can't stop laughing. he was just trying to be edgy and then he realized how fucking stupid it was, BUT HE COULDN'T ESCAPE.
Fine, I'll ask it.
Up until very recently ("recently" as in Monday), New York City was one of several large cities with a…
Plus, those of us who need to rely on government services are often doing so because of choices made by wealthy conservatives. Housing bubble and world financial crisis, anyone?
Sorry, but LOL at "he's not super wealthy but makes $500,000 a year"
