They are not horrible people. They are your family. Formed by different life experiences and perspectives. To be clear, there are monsters (ugly, hateful monsters) that like Trump. But most are not monsters.

I find it disheartening that there are few spaces on the internet where people can disagree vigorously without demonizing each other. This is true of right-leaning websites as well as left. The rise of Trump is exposing deep divisions among the polity. There is no good faith any more. Americans of all stripes seem…
Not trying to troll here, but I am voting for Trump, and I live in Ohio. We are not all bad people.
He is too fond of half-true swipes at easy targets. The obvious implication is that religion is backward and incompatible with scientific progress. Even though Copernicus studied to be a priest, Mendel was an Augustinian monk, and the Big Bang Theory was discovered by a Jesuit priest.
That's not entirely true. The Daily Show always threw softball questions at liberal guests and grilled conservative ones. When called out on this, Jon Stewart said "It's a comedy show, it's not our job to do the same as a news network." Case in point is John Kerry in 2004. Stewart lobbed softball after softball. Bill…
The left needs to understand that people on the right are sick of this self-serving bromide: "You get your own opinion, but you don't get to argue the facts." And then the left pretends its interpretation of the facts is the same thing as a fact. For example, Trump is racist. Well, Trump has said many things. But only…
The worst case of false advertising since my law suit against "The Neverending Story."
She seems remarkably well adjusted, for any human person let alone a former child star.
Great episodes, great writing, and great review. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks!
Lloyd Kaufman: There are some things pornographers won't do.
A cursory Google search uncovers a multitude articles on the issue. But since you asked: "The poverty rate among single-parent, female-headed families is over five times that of married, two-parent families. Nearly 71% of poor families lack married parents."

I gave you a citation. You could at least Google the article.
What does supporting stable marriages have to do with preventing women from working outside the home? Schlafly saw the difference, don't you? Countless studies show that stable marriages are closely correlated to economic stability.
Did you look up the article I cited, or are you just going to ignore inconvenient facts?
What is inaccurate about these statements?
Not surprisingly, the AV Club mischaracterizes Schlafly's position on women working outside of the home. Schlafly had no problem with such a choice. But she also championed the choices of housewives, many of whom lived (and still live) meaningful, satisfying lives. Feminists like Hillary Clinton compared being a…
Except the ERA, the thing she is most famous for.
Misogyny v. Racism: Dawn of Awkward
Since the 80s, the intellectual elite IS the wealthy elite, at least in the categories listed by Keillor (entertainment, press, politics, finance). According to Keillor, Trump's faux pas in this regard have an intellectual bent (e.g., 14th-Century Islamic mosaics). Trump is depicted as a locker room thug. So pardon…
