Good job. People need to hear this more and realize we can make at least tiny changes with logic and calmness.

I honestly do believe that Rush is doing similar to what Colbert is doing. I mean, I believe he is a conservative and an asshole, but that doesn't mean he isn't saying and doing outrageous things he either doesn't believe in or doesn't give a damn about as some sort of performance. The difference to me is that Colbert…

Oh of course. I wasn't trying to snark anyone.

I suppose that could be it.

Well the abortion rate in general has gone down quite significantly in the past 20 years.

Oddly enough, I feel similarly about Lindy's writing. I don't hate her and she has some good lines occasionally, but I have to re-read a lot of the things she writes (especially dirtbags) because at first glance it makes no sense to me (usually from too much caps or non-words). I think the problem is lack of editors,…

I was just commenting to someone else that I find it incredibly off-putting that when other Jez writers mess up (write something dumb/insensitive/factually incorrect) people blame either Gawker or Jezebel standards in general but rarely the specific author, but when Doug does they call him out specifically.

Right? I also find it very telling that when the other writers write something dumb/insensitive/factually incorrect "Gawker" or at most "Jezebel" in general is blamed, but when Doug Barry does it he personally is called out.

I agree, but we aren't discussing her being called Mrs. Fischer, we are discussing him being called Mr. Underwood.

But the joke wasn't funny or creative so the inapplicability of the statement isn't even justified in a creative sense.

You know, it makes me kind of want a white male president next time to make a more accurate comparison. I'm only 23 and I remember hearing (and saying) pretty terrible things about Bush that were both very deserved and probably some undeserved. But I'd like a better point of reference in my adult memory that consumes…

Jez doesn't host videos themselves so they can't really control who can see them.

I completely agree with you. And people who cry "tone argument" most of the time are just people who enjoy being mad and yelling at other people. You don't need to be polite to someone who says "kill all women who have abortions" but you should be polite to someone who expresses a common misconception instead of…

I would like to know the blood pressures of Jezebel staff. After how pissed off they were about pictures of engagement rings and facebook and now this I am surprised that that they all aren't suffering from hypertension.

WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING THIS?

Maybe she is from Yolo County, California and really appreciates it?

I'm so sorry. I don't think what you said is terrible at all, it's not like you said it to her face. All of us here are rooting for you.

Why do people think it's okay to inflict the presence of human upon other humans?

Makes you wonder why the hell people allow others who they LITERALLY CAN'T STAND to see pictures/statuses from to appear on their news feed.

Yeah, anger and resentment is generally more annoying than someone's happiness to me.
