"The bigger the choice, the more importance we attribute to it."

Hah, so true about Jezebel - an incredible amount of their postings are so over the top that only total man haters could possibly agree with them. I'm a guy who considers myself extremely feminist-friendly and sympathetic, but a lot of the articles/comments on there make me furious - I've had the exact same Manchurian…

Posting this here because it's a day old, so it's the closest Kinja has to a direct message:

And not one word about the murder of journalists and writers at Charlie Hebdo in Paris over cartoons of Muhammad? Even though it's the number one world news story, covered by all other news sources?

I have nothing else to say.

I wouldn't even call it backpedaling. This is more like realizing your bike is going down a bumpy road and then suddenly jerking the handle bars and pedaling it full speed into a lake.

I'm gonna do whatever I want and you can fuck off :) thxxxxxx

There is absolutely not one single atom of anything called "real" about this show. Starting, needless to say, with Andy Cohen who is Perez Hilton with a Pines house. He is a shonda to all people.

So over Jezebel making this an issue. HELLO ! You're entire publication is based on a biblical character! Did the founders of Jezebel consider THAT when they named it? No. STFU and leave Madonna alone you thirsty cunts.

So much truth here. But the problem is not Palin per se, but why anyone in this country listens to her inane ramblings. To use a massively outdated cultural reference, she's got the brains of Jethro Bodine and the empathy of Margaret Drysdale, yet thousands of Americans think she's got answers for this country.

I spent NYE with my nephew and his wife. They invited me over to spend time with them. Anyway we started playing cards and joking around. My nephew said something that upset his misses and she started crying. She headed to the bedroom and he followed her in. Instead of just apologizing and moving on, he proceeds…

Cat construction machines........but of course!

if he'd come out like a WWF star with fireworks and heavy metal music, it wouldn't have been over the top.

No to mention, dumber than a rock.

My entire family is conservative, and they thought Palin was God's gift to America, istg. My favorite political conversation I ever had with them went, "What don't you like about Sarah Palin?" "She spent a shit ton of money on a program to shoot wolves from helicopters instead of putting it toward something that…

Also, she's fucking stupid.

I know that this kind of vigilante justice is another aspect of rape culture, but damned if it isn't satisfying.

I know many people (myself included) feel that shame now. I was pointing out that historians will also mark it as well.

Wow, it must be so nice for Idina Menzel to be established enough that she doesn't have to sing all the notes right anymore. As a young singer trying to establish myself as a professional, I would never ever ever ever ever dream of singing only 75% of the notes right. While in school, and doing young artist programs…

The Conservative media will never be happy. Obama could give everyone in America a puppy and they'd say it was an act of aggression because some people are allergic.
