Well I am sure “duty” has a lot of interpretations. I was mostly thinking of in a constitutional sense. Those are the only two things asked of a citizen in the constitution. That said, voting is not mandatory, although jury duty is. I suppose I can see your reasoning if you do not trust yourself. And I can certainly…

Well that escalated. Pointing out that they don’t use voter registration here was just an observation.

Gawker media is all the less for your departure Pinkham! Count at least one more regular at Wonkette.

Yes, all things have equal weight and this experience is exactly like the worst thing to happen to me ever. Recounting one story on the internet = recounting all my experiences and the one I choose to talk about (that happens to be on the topic of the post) is, obviously, the worst.

That’s why this makes no sense. Rivers could get laid if he wanted to and he’s married.

Just watch FOX for a week or so until the mental rabies sinks in..

They were asked to press “1” for English.

He loves the attention. A silent protest would have been more sufficient. Numbers mean everything to him right now.

Yeah Trump is an awful person, but also: he's going to bomb so hard. I have 0% desire to watch tonight's episode.

Rivers is a nerd, and his view on being one hasn’t changed since 1994. He missed the note, because he, by his own admission, doesn’t watch virtually any TV, movies, or social media.

Thanks — it’s from a Lucinda Williams song (the username).

Pretty much the entire cast and all supporting players.

Tara. Tara. TARATARATARA. This one’s SPECTACULAR.

What’s with the restaurant assault stories this week? Is there some sort of planetary alignment or something that’s causing people to go completely off the fucking rails this week?
