Thanks! That is great, I really had no idea it existed. Wonderful!

It would be awesome if people started using Hollaback! when they are getting stopped and frisked by the NYPD. Send that right to the web and city council members. I know the NYPD wouldn't allow it but legally you can video tape them.

Woody Allen "being" Woody Allen is never a compliment. Bc Woody Allen.

Yes, it is possible.

His faith isn't why people act negatively toward him. It's the bloody untrue narrative of his being "a good guy". You said it, too. He's not a good guy. He doesn't think women or gay people should be able to think for themselves or choose, for themselves and their families, what is best for them. That's not a 'good…

That didn't happen.
