Between this and Trump’s Russian connections the world is turning into The Blacklist.

This “kids know what’s best for themselves” logic is so foreign to me. I only hear it from parents whose children prefer them to their exes, and people who believe that a childhood with elements of severe, dangerous dysfunction is a universal experience. So they’re either operating as an interested party…

That they’re both on my Free Pass list?

There is also a good chance that the only way it would not destroy someone’s career is if they actually succeeded completely. The chances of that seem slimmer by the day so it is a losing proposition.

Now. That being said. That is one of the scarier things I can think of because it means competent people won’t WANT the…

Agreed. I don’t know why all of a sudden we’re cool with releasing videos of a women that she clearly did anonymous for a reason, just because we don’t like the douche she was married to. Taking away her power (in releasing the video without her wanting it to be released) after she had already had her power taken,…

Every time I see this boast I hope it’s building up to a six-month mark resignation. “I’ve done so much that I can retire and go back to my business now, being President is for losers.”

Oh my god, an Erika & Eileen 3-4 part special where they road trip from L.A. to N.Y.C. in the vain of I Love Lucy’s NYC->LA trip with wacky adventures in between! And then do a season where they cross over with the New York Housewives and Erika is trying to make it in the music scene there like Ricky getting into the…

Nothing says desperate-for-a-free-trip like the label “High class battered woman”.

I like to think that she chooses to go with the “free trip to Chicago!” line because it’s so clearly implausible that people will usually understand it’s a lie, and she’s still not technically violating her agreement.

Keeping it “hidden” and asking that it not be made “public” are two different things. She turned it over to the Senate since they’re the ones who actually vote on cabinet members (and let’s face it, Puzder was already not looking good for confirmation).

Right? She was married to an extremely wealthy fast food restaurant CEO and yet couldn’t afford a trip to Chicago? Plus, I mean, I love Chicago, but it’s not like “oh, I wanted a free trip to Paris or Rome.”

Unpopular opinion: Oprah/Harpo did their due diligence in a manner that didn’t throw an abused woman to the public wolves. No way do they give a shit about Puzder, so maybe they weren’t so keen to make Fierstein collateral damage (see: another hash mark in the “wimmin be lyin’, just look at this flip-flopper” column).

To be fair, who wouldn’t go to such elaborate and life-altering lengths for a free trip to Chicago?

It sucks that people can coerce women into retracting these allegations and having to say shit like “I just wanted a free trip to Chicago” for the rest of their lives.

“A relatively small percentage of Southerners owned slaves and directly profited from the slave trade”

I used to volunteer in a senior center and I got to be pretty close to this one elderly German woman who had immigrated to the US decades before I met her, but was in her late 20s, maybe early 30s during the war. I just worked reception usually but she’d sit and chat with me because I liked hearing her stories and we…

I’m not certain but I’m fairly sure I didn’t say the slave trade and Nazism were the same, just that it frames how I think about the general culpability of people under the Third Reich and the Antebellum South.

As a Chewbacca I tend to think of it the way I do the South and Slavery. A relatively small percentage of Southerners owned slaves and directly profited from the slave trade but almost all of them were racist as fuck and generally ok with the system as it existed, so fuck ‘em.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, when you put it the way you have, it’s strange to focus on a love story while there are thousands of people being murdered or enslaved. On the other hand, and as awful as it might be, people still fell in love during the darkest periods of humanity. I’m not sure I…

1) He made a joke about his work with NBC. NBC didn’t respond in any way.
2) Despite NBC not responding, he then claimed that if NBC SHOULD ever respond negatively to the joke in his special - which they never did - , he would sue them for racial bias claiming “NBC hates Black people” (his words, not mine.)
3) Now NBC…
