That’s pretty close to saying “Remember ISIS when people try to act like Islam is okay or something” which is towing a pretty uncomfortable line. These monks are extremists and are committing mass murders as well as enacting these laws which are rooted in racism and xenophobia. They no more represent Buddhism than…

First reminder alarm : “Jailhouse Rock”

Especially, especially when you consider that these are people who HAVE NOT YET BEEN CONVICTED. Not that criminals deserve the inhumane conditions you describe either. But to think that a completely innocent person would lose their job because they are sitting in jail unable to make bail is baffling.

How quickly Marc Jacob’s proffered whoopie cakes are erased from the public memory.

This is great and cool and great and I’m excited to sing a celebratory round of “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude” but I feel like the more important question is:

When is Lori Beth Denberg coming back to my TV? WHEN?

This is way juicier than I thought it would be. Would touch this (with permission) and dream about it (no one has to know).

I actually find Trump really funny, partly because I’m fairly certain he doesn’t actually have a chance of becoming an elected official and partly because massive schadenfreude right now with how shit is totally blowing up in his face. Like his comments are so absurd as to be hilarious. (Not the racist ones so much,…

Wisconsin had a chance to get rid of Walker in a recall election, so clearly they’re not better than this.

I don’t understand how one person can be such a goddamn evil fucking asshole.
I hope awful things comes out about him in the primaries (I’m sure there are skeletons in his closet) and his political career goes up in flames.

Stop insulting tools, tools are useful.

I threw back my head and laughed at this specific line:

He has the right and opportunity to quit his job if it conflicts with his ghost in the sky prescribed and misinterpreted bigoted fucked-up views, his so-called morality. If he can’t apply the law of the land, he should be fired.

I’m sure not. A reporter asked him if he refuses to issue licenses to interfaith couples or those don’t believe in Jesus, and he acted like the question was ridiculous. Apparently, “Nature shouldn’t be perverted.” This guy sounds like a real winner.

Individual religious beliefs have nothing to do with who the state should allow to marry. If someone’s opposed to same sex marriage, they should refrain from entering one themselves and should join a religious denomination that shares their views, but there’s no reason a person who opposes same sex marriage on…

I find it rich that the same people who complain about lazy people on welfare are the ones refusing to, you know, actually do their jobs.

Yep, lobbying the governor to create a website that can do your job better, faster, and more cheaply than you can is definitely the smart move, Casey. What could possibly go wrong?

I love America, but if you think America is “more free” than the countries in the EU (and there’s a lot of them), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway, etc. you’re falling for the exceptionalist “America > everywhere else” idea. Again, there’s lots to love about America, but it manifestly isn’t the…
