I’m so enraged that we’ve been reduced to this constant need to be sorry and ashamed over a necessary legal medical procedure.

Okay, first of all, I get what this lady is saying but if I ever needed an abortion I would much prefer the tone of whoever is talking to me about it to be “casual”. It’s just a medical procedure, it doesn’t need to be a harrowing and incredibly serious discussion.
I get why she feels the need to apologize, but I don’t…

This is a great article that neglects the fact that bedbug bites can itch like fuck and last much longer than a mosquito bite. It’s not my longing to be above the primordial ooze that makes me never want to experience them again as much as the ‘itch like fuck’ thing.

I had a bedbug infestation at my old apartment and let me tell you, it was a fucking traumatizing experience. I do not say that lightly—I legitimately had symptoms of PTSD after dealing with that problem. I couldn’t sleep soundly at night because every seemingly-innocuous itch became a bug crawling on me; I would be…

I respectfully disagree. Universal healthcare absent the Medicaid gaps and the Hyde Amendment, and tied to much stronger penalties for being uninsured should solve these problems. If every woman walking through PP’s doors had insurance, we wouldn’t need hundreds of thousands from Komen. If abortion coverage were…

Right? I have such mixed feelings! I mean, I would almost want Komen left out, too. There’s the whole cutting funds to Planned Parenthood thing (okay, they reversed themselves, but they had to be pulled up very short by their donors in order to do it), the questionable uses of funds, founder Nancy Brinker being an…

Removing Komen was a good decision for entirely wrong reasons. Like taking religious holidays off the school calendar to avoid putting Muslim holidays on the calendar.

Okay so I want to be all feminist enraged...but Komen is shit...

Because I don’t know where else to put this and felt like I would have betrayed you all for not sharing. Ladies, gentlemen...today...I went Hamm. (that’s me on the far right).

looks like jimmy fallon headbanging away.

It’s really sad to see John Stamos give up all his indie cred like that. Whatever happened to the punk ass drummer that blasted out obscure political jams that disaffected youth everywhere could rally around like Kokomo?

I was thinking a Confederate flag burning party would be fun, but the buying thing stymied me too. The solution I came up was stealing one from some redneck’s house. That works, right?

Agreed. But also, the thing most Americans HATE most in the world is a black man talking about racism. I made the mistake of listening to conservatives talk about him a few days ago and their biggest complaint was that he talks too much about racism. Which is hilarious... because it’s clear that he’s very mindful…

America in a nutshell (via verysmartbrothers.com): “

Ding ding ding! Correct. He really doesn’t have that power actually. Not without the support of this little thing called the legislative branch he doesn’t. He can talk all he wants but words are not laws and he can’t pass laws without Congress-and unfortunately, they aren’t inclined to do anything he asks for, in case…

Not to keep picking on you, but you’re attitude about the President and the scope of his powers is part of why we have so many problems politically in this country. All of our language describing him as the ‘most powerful person in the world’ not withstanding, the reality is that the President is actually rather…

You do realize that the President cannot act unilaterally on things like this? That there’s this thing called Congress that he’s got to get through? This Congress that 8 years ago pledged to do everything they can to stop him doing anything at all? A Congress bought and paid for by the gun industry, Wall Street and…

I think that a lot of the conversation around racism these days discusses how, at its root, the problem is that the wrong people (i.e. black people) are being held accountable for ending it. Like what the hell more can they do? Inevitably someone always brings up stuff about 'stop acting like thugs', 'respect the law'…

That bastard didn’t even give any thought to how hearing the n-word might make white audiences feel.

Why doesn’t this taste like the corned beef I had in New York twenty-five years ago?!”
