Uh . . . that’s the thing: it wasn’t the last resort.

You say that but...

P.S. I have no idea what a bogo buffet is.

It’s funny you mention Boehner. 6 years when he became the SOH I despised him with the intensity of a thousand suns.

Like it eludes me how people can make a decision so easily with no thought as to have unprotected sex

Access is simple. If you want people to think more about their circumstances and their choices, then sure, work on outreach and education. But access will always be needed and no amount of education will change that. Birth control does fail, people will make mistakes, people need to be able to deal with that. …

Really? Ask the women in your life, if there are any, how they make decisions about their bodies. We know what poor decisions can do to our lives. Do they happen? Yes. We are humans, just like all of the imperfect human men in our lives that feel BC is our responsibility. We don’t eat plan b like candy, and we don’t…

Hon, the secret mantra of (especially) “high-prestige” type white men (like surgeons) is “Fake it even if you never make it.” They will lie through their teeth to you constantly about how sanguine they are and how anxious, human, and uncool you are, just to reinforce their own (misplaced!) feeling of superiority. They…

The really great thing is, you don’t have to be alone with a woman to take away her access to health care.

You need to appreciate the blue color values that both drive and trap these people. Your value as a person - your manhood - is shaped by your work. “Honest” work is essential, and that means doing “tough” work, or work with your hands. Strong emphasis is placed on tradition. If it was good enough for your daddy,…

I am a middle-class, educated, churchgoing small-town white woman who wears Dress Barn dresses and cardigans and works in schools and libraries. I look like the last person in America who (insular, sheltered middle-class white) people—the majority of my acquaintance—would imagine needing the ACA. In reality, for my…

This idea is hardly new. Almost every President in recent memory tried to “reform” the system. It will result in several photo ops, a few proposals and no action from Congress or the White House on those proposals. The reason is, to actually fix the problems mentioned above (veterans affairs, technology, the opioid…

It’s like that episode of the Simpsons where Marge comments on how nice Fat Tony’s house is and how it must have cost a ton, and Fat Tony’s like “You can really keep costs down if you don’t pay for materials or land or labor.”

This was the bit that really jumped out at me. What is going to be justified with the term custumer?

Businesses are run with only the bottom line and enrichment of investors/stockholders in mind.

Obama already explained why this is such a stupid idea in the first place:

Like all of Trump’s “initiatives,” this one will thrill his core but lead to nothing substantive. The reason that government is not run like a business is that it is not a business.

I would agree with you except for one thing; the rise of automation. Very soon we will reach a point where most entry level and mid level jobs will be replaced with robotic or Siri-like systems. This will actually created a super manpower glut on a global scale; as human labor forces of all types are eliminated in the…

This doesn’t strike me as a story about feminism or women in the workplace. It’s strikes me mostly as a story about how the venture capital culture of Silicon Valley, which is predicated on very rapid growth, hurts employees.

Women who call other grown women girls and think that feminism is about referring to women as “womyn” are the reason I have a growing drug problem and an intimate relationship with my middle finger.
