don't forget "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance"

Just to be clear, however, the charter schools in Sacramento are actually proving extremely successful. As a resident of Sacramento, I've had the chance to watch Sac High, for instance, climb the ranks of high schools in the region; the school now sends about 96% of its students to college. So let's not pretend like…

Two things: 1) Charter schools are public schools. They are by definition free, non-profit public schools. To say charter schools are an attempt to take money from public education is a gigantic lie. 2) Rhee is a mortal enemy of the national teacher's union, which means a lot more to the Democratic Party than Rhee.…

"The politicians love it because this would allow them to bypass having to deal with things like school boards and PTA's."

It's not that. It's the wholesale destruction of teachers's unions. And by Democrats! Chicago is the biggest battleground at the moment. The damage to publicly-funded education here is probably…

As a longtime Sacramento resident and someone who worked directly under Michelle Rhee I can offer that this gruesome twosome is viewed as a joke, social suicide and irrelevant. No one respects them. They, and her nonprofit, are essentially shut out from the capitol and everyone is basically embarrassed by both of…

The guy who can fuck Rihanna.

He probably farts all the time because no one's ever had the nerve to tell him it's rude to do that in close quarters.

I've honestly never thought I would like it there either! I love doing outdoorsy things, so that would be nice, but all the metro areas seem like kind of a clusterfuck, and when I went there for work, I spent the whole time feeling ugly and unfashionable.

Could be cost of living issues? My sister loved it there but had to leave because her family just couldn't afford to live there anymore.

*Areas* *Areas* *Areas* WHY CAN'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL POSSESSIVE ABOUT ENTERING A NEW AREA RATHER IT IS SIMPLY PLURAL JESUS HOW DO PEOPLE GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THIS

How d'you figure that?

An article purporting to express sympathy for a person who committed a crime should probably refrain from calling her a "murderer" when she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Murder and involuntary manslaughter are two different crimes that say vastly different things about the depravity and culpability of…

Mellie, you are terrible at having an affair. Like, what has a week gone by and you get yourself caught?

Go here to Planned Parenthood's donate page and select "Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri" to donate to those locations affected by this decision. In Kansas, Planned Parenthood has health centers in Wichita (largest city in Kansas) and Hays (city in the middle of a *very* rural area) and a comprehensive…

right? because, um, as a mom with an office job who frequently puts in 8, 10, 12 and 14 hour days TOO, Gwyn, I don't have the 10-mil paycheque at the end that covers the cook, nanny(s), maid that step in every time I am called to Wisconsin, (or in my case, Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax). So, yeah, that 'office-job' bit…

Actually feminism speaks for both male and female victims/survivors of rape. Patriarchy makes it difficult for men to come forward as victims of rape because they are often criticized for being less of man. So both parties are allowed to realize "hey wait, I didn't consent to that." So yes, both parties can be…

Deliberately hurting people to make a point is asshole behavior.

No she didn't - if she was acting that way, she should have been called out on her behavior. It is absolutely out of line to bring something else like that into the equation.

You're going out of your way to create a hypothetical situation where it's okay to fat shame someone, just admit you think it's okay to shit on fatties and stop dicking around. Her body weight isn't the issue, her behavior is. If she ignores you when you tell her to stop being rude, it's still about her behavior.…
