Pilgrims were about as tolerant as today’s evangelicals so the US was pretty much founded on irony. Christmas itself is a celebration in irony given its pagan “holy day” origins. Someone needs to spearhead the taking back of the true meaning of the pagan holiday . . . starting with slogans -

I only clicked on this to look at James MacAvoy.

Keep Saturn in saturnalia!

I like the ad campaign but I really don’t think it’s effective. The people who need to be convinced that CNN is telling actual facts, don’t care and don’t watch CNN. I watch CNN and have paid for a Times subscription since I graduated college. If I like the ad, it’s probably a sign the target audience will hate it.

Well, at least we know where Herr Rump’s twitter attack on Time is coming from. Bannon hates the Kochs because he sees them as a threat that actually push for conservative/libertarian politicians and not the alt-right’s fascist folks who masquerade as such.

I personally would like more details on the groping.

Oh,come on—-none of these women said he “molested” them. Roy Moore has been accused of flat-out molestation of one woman when she was 14 years of age, and of nearly assaulting another woman when she was 16 and fought off his advances—-that’s a hell of a lot more serious (and disturbing) than anything Franken has done.…

Grabbing ass is not rape. That’s just stupid. Or you’re telling me I’ve been repeatedly raped at every gay pride festival I’ve been to.

They’ll say he was a textbook case of narcissistic personality disorder, incapable of self-awareness; a modern day Nero, golfing while the nation burned. He was just barely elected due to the manipulations of a new aristocracy of billionaires throwing dump trucks of burning money into propaganda, think tanks, and…

He doesn’t need to step down. He needs to come clean if he grabbed those asses, and stop grabbing those asses. Then he needs to get back to work being one of the few senators keeping people’s feet to the fire.

making Al resign doesn’t seem the best course of action further reducing the Dem minority.

Yeah, i’m not sure if his spot has been gerrymandered

Trump is his only friend and his worst enemy.

I lend much more credibility to NYT and WaPo. If I were a victim of any of these heinous men, I’d be far more likely to go on record with them as opposed to Jezebel. That said, I think Jezebel (and Gawker and Defamer) serve such an important function. They operate along the same lines of the whisper networks -…

The sad part is, that’s actually true.

Scott is a drunken loser and Kourtney has self-esteem issues. He once told her that he treats her badly because that’s what she responds to because when he’s nice to her, she ignores him. They relationship is beyond dysfunctional.

Holy shit that is awful! What an enabling pampering asshole of a mother. WHO DOES THAT.  Sounds like this guy needs a kick in the ass.

So, I have a colleague who is in a veeeeeery fucked-up relationship (he’s a drug abuser and just an all-round twat; she’s young and impressionable and grew up in a household where abuse was the norm). He recently had a court date to address some drug charges, and because he smashed up her belongings the night before…

Here’s the simple fact: It’s The New York Times

They weren’t Abel to make it work.
