10 bucks says she's on someone's payroll—hasbara, ALEC, or Pamela Geller.

Fundamentalists want to get back to the fundamentals of their religion, to go back to that ancient glory day. ISIL qualifies as both a fundamentalist and an extremist group, because they wish to impose an Islamic caliphate from Iraq into Syria under the dictates of their version of Shari'a law, and they use violence…

It's not that fewer women go INTO law, it's that fewer women STAY in law.

You mean the same parts of the world that allow domestic slavery like Qatar and the UAE? When you can take away Salvadoran women's passports, hold them hostage, and have a political system allows that, of course it's easy to have the help!

From when I was in 7th grade until when I was in 9th grade the most recent computers we had were Apple IIs. This was from 1999-2002. Maybe you can step outside your "SoCal" bubble and go out into the rest of the country where school systems are founded on "separate but equal" methods of property tax funding where…

The McLaughlin Group stopped being good in the 90s. It's one of the only ways Pat Buchanan can stay on TV, and he spends most of his time bantering with the dinosaur host and talking over Eleanor Swift. I'm convinced they put her on the show as a token gesture to show not all talking heads are male, but apparently…

I've known two people who have visited India, one female, one male. The female (who went there 5 years ago) denounced the many men who groped her on the bus, while the male said "Indians just like invading people's spaces," like this type of rapey behavior is normal for over there. (He went there 20 years ago and…

You have said you were a person of color, white, and Jewish in your tenure on here. Either you're all three, or a liar.

You are incorrect. For hundreds of years Americans left their male boys intact until the Victorian craze swept the country. The same people who promoted bran to temper sexual urges and said that masturbation would cause hair to grow on your palms began the circumcision movement. Why? Because the logic behind this…

This post lacks the nuance it needs. The Texas GOP is seeing itself in a civil war (as first manifested itself in Harris County) between the liberty-minded Republicans and the faith-based Republicans. The liberty-minded Republicans have strong holdings in Harris, Tarrant, and Dallas Counties (and the counties of the…

I'm disabled and Texan, and as far as I'm concerned, Greg Abbott can go to hell and his disability isn't off limits considering that he has thrown other disabled people besides himself under the bus. That's not his only hypocrisy. He became disabled after jogging in River Oaks and a tree fell on him, then he sued…

To be fair, iPhones autocorrect marijuana to "marihuana," which I've been informed is the federal government's official spelling of the word.

Gay used to mean happy in the 1950s. Are you gay bro?

Just like Jesse Jackson isn't the emperor of black people, a few American Indians (that's what we prefer to call ourselves btw, not Native Americans) don't speak for all of us.

Go to a powwow and say "Whaddup my redskins?!" if you honestly believe it's not offensive.

So does "White Eyes" and that's not a term I'd use to refer to any white person. (It's a derogatory word for whites in some American Indian communities.)

You have to spend money to make money is the general rule in America.

Hey idiot, people across the US ride horses. I've seen people in the hood of the city ride horses with 10-gallon cowboy hats, a belt buckle bigger than your head, boots and jeans on. And go to rural Texas, people ride horses when they're not driving pickup trucks. It's a part of our Texas culture, just like riding…

Any major color except pink can be a gang color. At my high school they actually thought solid white t-shirts during choice dress day were "gang colors" which was a way for the German-Argentine principal to target Chicano males. My friend, who was in a wheelchair and is now an accountant for an oil company, was…

I'd rather look sloppy than have a bra that deforms my back. I don't have $10o to spend on a bra that perfectly fits the shape of my body and doesn't have straps. It doesn't help that my bust is (admittedly) oddly shaped and I'm also losing a lot of weight.
