She’s clearly not a moron. And you definitely play yourself when you escalate to next-level name-calling. Don’t feel your POV’s being respected? Try elevating (or at least matching) the respectfulness of your tone. 

That’s a solid guess at how they’d justify the decision. I also like Dr. Letiecq’s counterpoint that, even within a pure cost-benefit rubric, the cost-side math should include independently investigating the allegations against him. He’s been publicly accused of sexual assault and harassment, tacitly “absolved” by…

Ok yes but I feel like you guys effed up the “draft” part here, cuz you all picked individually tasty toppings but forgot to build viable teams! Kevin’s lineup is 100% soft-squishy w/ no textural variation. Allison’s trying to make BBQ play with goat cheese, Gwen’s got no “creamy.” Kate’s lineup is probably best, but…

I have a 3-ton granite millstone you guys can borrow, to grind some ancient grains for a respectable bun.

Annals of Yogurt Injustice, Vol. 1: Fage/Chobani is the Betamax/VHS of dairy products.

Never been accused of wisdom on these boards before. Might have to frame this one.

The Loaded Axe should be topped with onion rings, bbq sauce and applewood smoked bacon.

Exactly. And, if anything, the pleasure they had sitting (probably) at the counter and the pain they experienced at a big back-room table were probably two sides of the same coin.

Er. Try everybody.

All true. But don’t your comments apply to everyone, including both Chelsea Clinton and Ilhan Omar? I read Omar’s tweets as expressing unconscious bias against the Jewish/Israeli side of a terrible, complex, multi-sided conflict in the Middle East. I also support Congresswoman Omar and think Democrats need to rally…

But the chuds will sign onto anything if they see a chance to claim high ground they don’t really deserve. There’s nothing right about the far right. But there’s also nothing right about blaming bigotry-fueled murder on Clinton, just for a bland tweet against anti-Semitism. These kids who think Israel-Palestine is a…

HHhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

AOC is admirable, interesting, and important. 116 other women were elected to Congress in the mid-terms. I always wonder what drives Jezebel’s overwhelming focus on covering a few political celebrities in a few consistent modes - often as totes relatable saints we love (or the opposite), flawless heroes we support…

Don’t agree with everything you wrote but definitely agree that anyone unilaterally supporting either side of that conflict is already doing something wrong. Both sides need tougher love from allies who recognize the other side’s humanity.

Ashley you’re becoming one of my favorite new writers on these boards. Jeff Ballabon is garbage, and I think you’re dead on when you locate his base motivations in racism and unexamined bigotry rather than any sort of concern about anti-Jewish prejudice.

If only Rome had made of sweet, soft lemon cake, shot through with poppy seeds. We’d all be speaking Latin now.

Always proud to clear a low bar.

Of course this is important breaking news. Meanwhile, where is the lemon poppyseed recipe we were (sort of) promised? Life is hard enough...
