Why do parents object so strongly to their kids learning stuff? I’m serious with this question. This is a stem school so it must be a charter or a magnet or something that she actually cared enough to send her kid to, but now she’s objecting because he might actually learn something there? It’s like the Duke freshmen…

It’s a state office so Kentucky state law would determine that. My guess is probably only a felony would disqualify her. She can be impeached for this if they want to.

The alternate reality that Kim Davis and her supporters inhabit is astonishing. I do not understand the victory celebration. They lost. At every single step of the way, they lost. The couples she refused marriage certificates are married and (I sure hope) enjoying their honeymoons. The only reason she is out of jail…

If someone went to that much effort over eight months to knit a sweater with my face on it -and then tried to meet me - I would not be flattered. I would be terrified. As in “Get me a restraining order!” terrified.

She just makes me sad. The chance of this child having a normal, healthy, long life is just so small. She already looks like a jaded 45 year old. She has no education and her self worth, it appears, is entirely measured in her artificial looks

They’re all acting like this is some kind of victory, right? But the reason they let her out of jail is because her office is now doing its job without her and everyone is getting their marriage licenses, right? And if she interferes with that she goes back to jail. I’m thinking they really haven’t figured out yet…

That’s why I said “most.” I’m sure there are a few other examples out there, some not in entertainment fields and so less likely to be famous. I guessing that the instances are dwindling, however, as gifted, ambitious women have much better opportunities for success that don’t involve wearing high heels and a bathing…

I’m not sure why everyone is coming down so hard on her for this. I am whole heartedly, enthusiastically in favor of marriage equality. But I’m also old enough to remember when that was a very unusual opinion to have. A lot of people who considered themselves liberals (Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton) took…

There are a couple of secretaries in my firm who are great, who will come grab my boys and take them off on adventures (the photocopier, the aforementioned candy, the partner’s office with a full size putting green). But they are doing this because they are just really nice (and maybe wish they saw more of their own…

Gretchen Carlson is one of Fox’s fungible blondes. It warms my heart that you have never heard of her. Can we be friends?

I’m surprised she bothers. Unlike most former Miss Americas she has a real career now (I refuse to acknowledge what Gretchen Carlson does as a career). Miss America used to be a way an ambitious young woman could get some exposure (hem, hem) even if it was sexist and humiliating as hell. But women today have much…

Now that I’ve got my own, I have occasionally brought them to work with me (strangely they always love it, I'm guessing mostly for the sodas and one of the secretaries showed them where the candy is hidden) but I would never, ever, ever, not in a million years, ask any of my subordinates to look after them when I do.

One time a dolphin is going to eat somebody’s baby and these people will honestly be shocked.

How can dolphins cure autism at birth when, as we all know, autism is caused by vaccines ? How can dolphin birth, possibly, possibly, make you ambidextrous??

Yep, sure did, and you sounded just like all the other entitled assholes who say “I’m just paying you a compliment” when they are informed that they have crossed the line. I’m really happy for you that your wife appreciates your “bluntness” but I suspect that there are many other women out there who think you are a…

He was her boss. Not someone she met at a bar. Free advice: never, ever comment on the physical attractiveness/hotness of a subordinate at work, male or female. There is really no circumstance at all in which this might be appropriate. Keep it up and you are gonna get yourself and your employer sued.

Free childcare is not just a food service perk. When I was a newbie attorney one of the partners would bring her toddler to the office when her daycare closed and expect the young attorneys to babysit for her until she decided to go home. Now the only reason the young attorneys are still in the office long after…

This is demonstratively not true. There are numerous studies that show that atheists have as strong or stronger a moral compass as professed believers.
