C.A. Pinkham, the New Yorker, a few months ago, ran a story about restaurant workers from China and their exploitation in the US.

Just love how these are the same people who support the legislation to make abortion clinics meet the standards for ambulatory surgical centers and require the doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals “for women’s safety”... yt they’re resisting a simple sign to inform people that they are not licensed…

and this same cohort of dumbfuckery likes to pass laws that force actual medical doctors to LIE, and interfere with women in every way.

I give Johnny a ton of credit. He had an objectively horrible job, and he kept at it for years because he knew he was the only person standing in the way of what *THOSE* Republicans wanted to do.

Erin don’t forget to get Kara a lot of wine after that

There are a few things about Obama’s presidency I don’t like (drone policy, for one). But I’m so comforted to know that this man is our president.

That would never happen because Mariah gives respect where it is due. How dare you even consider such a thing and besmirch her good name?

Oh, god. Don’t give anyone ideas.

They made the playoffs last year and had one of the better records in the league.

Well, I am a lawyer and this line of argument tends to irritate the hell out of me, so why don’t I try to set a few things straight?

I get it, but my people never eat one sixth of a cookie (my people are the cookie monsters and we eat all of every cookie that comes our way no matter what is in it). Seriously, if you give me a cookie that I am to eat only a sixth of, it is probably not going to go well...

Even IF (and that’s a big, big if) she did kill herself, I’m still furious. She had everything going for her, was down there for a good job, gets pulled over for something that is routinely ignored, gets roughed up, ends up in jail facing a serious charge and could have her life ruined. Over nothing. It’s sick and…
