When I was in my 20's, I developed my own particular way to handle sexual harassment.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy

They want to be in charge. They want to be in control. As long as their (largely) white male egos are satisfied that this is true, they may once again deign to “allow” the rest of us to have “rights.” But we don’t dare demand them, or believe we are entitled to them. An unexpected black President who came out of left

Think again. He threatened the Republicans with working with the Democrats. The idea that the Democrats might actually pass something together with the President and moderate Republicans was enough to scare the shit out of Ryan and the hardcore Freedom Caucus to get their shit together or have to face constituents in

I once investigated applying for health insurance with a company whose form literally asked me to list EVERY DOCTOR I HAD EVER BEEN TO — in writing.

Same for schools — deprive everyone who isn’t rich and white of a decent education: take the “cream of the crop” out of the public school system, put them into charter schools and leave the rest in the public schools, now deprived of the tax dollars now being sent to the minority of students in charter schools. Makes

I had an uncle whose wife contracted lupus. He was a dairy farmer — salt of the earth, hard-working man. Probably voted Republican straight down the line.

Well, and of course, all this is easier if you have always had money to begin with and/or your parents did and gave it to you, which is how you have healthy food available to you to begin with. So, rich, white, healthy people are happy and it’s all “We’ve got ours, nuts to you!” for everybody else.

So, basically back to “healthy people get ripped off paying for years and years for health insurance they never use, which makes the health insurance companies happy and the healthy people happy UNTIL THEY GET SICK and then they’re pissed off because SUDDENLY THEY’RE THE ‘OTHER’ PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK and now they want

I think you could remove the word “Catholic” from this complaint and perhaps be more, or at least equally, accurate.

“Because Fox News would not tolerate sexual harassment of its female employees. Not from anyone....ever! Oh wait....what was that, Charley?...oh, thanks...I’ll have to get back to you with more outrage and umbrage at a later time. Gotta go. Bye.”

Freud would be proud

....and it’s always the “really” good-looking men who react this way....like they’re such a prize.

Hmmmm. “Giant child.” Mysogynist asshole. He reminds me of someone, but I can’t quite put my finger on it....

But what percentage are men? We have to save the jobs of the people who actually count, for goodness’ sake.

Because....Mike Pence can’t control himself? Kind of weird, don’t we think? I mean really, man, as a good Christian and all, don’t you think this is kind of a weird admission to make?  

I refer to this as the “magic milk bottle” theory. Like, every time a man goes to the refrigerator, there’s always a bottle of milk in there with milk left in it. Because it’s magic, right? It just never runs out.

I once saw a news story — I think it was about the Boston city park employees cleaning graffiti off of statues — that quoted one of them as saying “Every act of housekeeping is an act of hope.” I thought that was pretty good and often think it to myself when I have to do repetitive, but necessary, tasks.
