I am black. I have been to Medford (Ashland is really the college town but Medford is seedier and right next door). Can confirm; if you don’t mind being objectified it’s like being a bear in a salmon run.

FWIW, Iowa is not known for cows...it’s pigs. Maybe the stanford band is like the football team, good at extracurricular, but not at research

Full disclosure: native born Iowan. So the Californicators portrayed Iowans as hicks. Meh, what else would you expect from lib-ignorant crybabies?

NO ONE, I REPEAT, NO ONE IN IOWA WAS OFFENDED! We were all to shell-shocked from the 1st half to realized that half-time had actually started.

One of Stanford’s opponents needs to figure out how to make a formation of a “lucky sperm” (then morph it into a giant bag of douche).

Shut the fuck up, Stanford asskiss

That dig would make sense if Iowa was a conservative state which it really isn’t. For voting purposes its pretty neutral and is an important swing state for presidential campaigning. Plus its one of the first states to legalize gay marriage and it generally votes in favor of a lot of liberal leaning laws/bills.

Honestly they should be banned because they aren’t funny. California is the only state that has more investment in agriculture than Iowa. Iowa’s not the one inundating rest of the nation with ads about how happy their cows are.

Dear Stanford: that cow state of Iowa legalized same-sex marriage before California by a score of 2009 to 2013. Four years before. Think about that before mocking them.

So I guess he’d been planning to give me my walking papers. But after finding out I was pregnant he did the honorable thing; went Dutch on the abortion and stayed in the picture until I managed to go three consecutive days without crying.

uhhh is this a safe space to talk about how we didn’t go to prom because we didn’t feel like it because high school was teh worst?

This is me right now.

My first husband wasn't very bright. It's never a good idea to cheat on a wife that works for a government agency known for its expertise in spying. Third generation in the same line of work to boot.

"In said letter, he asked not for me to reply but for me to send his letter back because "it was a great writing sample and it was [his] only copy".

OMG that writing sample detail at the end is the best worst thing I've ever heard.

I was seeing one of my longtime best guy friends (whom I'd kissed a couple times over the course of our friendship, but had just started, like, being with in any more significant capacity). He told me that he loved me quickly. The whole thing was very intense. I'd been hearing rumors from mutual friends that he was…

Oh yeah, Sartre! Sorry everyone, we're shutting this blog down because Sartre already happened. It was fun while it lasted.

I do that in American. I am British. IS THIS THE TWILIGHT ZONE?!?!

And what? Martin Luther King wasn't the "good" black man who was anti-violence, compared to Malcolm X as a "bad" black man who spoke of change by any means necessary. That's a horribly reductive way to think of either man.
