The problem isn't that is contains adult themes. The problem is that it's trash. It's only slightly less offensive than "The Help." (Ok. That's not true. "The Help" is significantly worse.) It's yet another book about black women addressed to white women that serves to replace all concern with the political history of…

I feel like an asshole praising a gif on a story this bad... but THIS GIF. This is the sort of shit that makes you want to hand in your humanity card.

The bottom line is that a significant number of the people on the street in San Francisco need long-term, in-facility treatment and care. They are mentally ill and their illnesses have gone unmanaged for so long that some of them may never be able to take care of themselves again. But the US as a whole decided a long…

I'm more concerned that they are reading "The Secret Life of Bees" in school.

Fuck San Francisco. I mean, seriously. I have lived in several major metropolitan areas both in the US and abroad (and not in places people typically think of as safe) and the only place where I am ALWAYS scared to be on the street is downtown San Francisco. Yes, other places have crime. But it's mostly SANE crime.…

Publicity for this dress will accomplish what it sets out to though. Young women who laugh at the idea of a $68,000 babydoll dress will shell out for marked down $80 babydoll dresses later. Then they will put those hideous sacks on their bodies and go out into the world in them. And they won't look good. But if they…

I'd just like to point out that your average domesticated dog is NOT going to be taking down a coyote. In fact, ambitious groups of coyotes take down domestic dogs of all sizes. Not that I have anything against coyotes. They are wild animals on their territories. But I'm just saying.

Ron Levi does make a pretty serious threat of his own in the report: "Your taste buds are just going to explode in all the different parts of your mouth."

Does the anticipated not guilty plea mean he's going to say he has a mental defect?

If the ad IS from the eighties then that changes the story, but it doesn't make the ad any less significant. If anything, it makes it more significant. The fact is that child-targeted advertising is more intense now than ever. And today, advertisers apply the things they know about how to successfully advertise to…

Let's also give props to schizoid split personality CA.

Absolutely. To be fair, I understand why well-meaning people talk about advances in lgbt rights this way. I have been guilty of it myself in the past. Poking fun at Idaho, or any state, for 'only getting around to this now' is a way of saying, 'hey, this is a basic thing.' BUT, it's a rhetorical strategy that that is…

No, Ms. Breslaw, it is not hard to believe that this anti-discriminatory LGBT laws "are just being passed now." The lead in this article is incredibly tone deaf.

It always makes me happy to hear a man claim that abortion is murder. Because then I can point out that, in all probability, if he is a sexually active heterosexual male, someone has killed one of his children at some point. He might not know who or when. But in all probability, a child of his has been murdered. Then…

Except that he's clearly crazy. He failed to pay $85,000 of taxes and when he was caught went on his station's facebook page and said that it was an Obama conspiracy. Did you read the article?

Almost there. But that's still not quite the right analogy either. The correct analogy would be a "feminist with rape fantasies who writes a column about how awful it is having rape fantasies, and the contrived way that she stopped having those rape fantasies..." by imagining her fantasy rapists in turbans. It's the…

Redacted. Didn't see who you were talking to originally.

I GET that this study includes married women. As I said in the post you are responding to: "I wasn't just thinking of all the single mothers out there who are economically heading families, but also all the mothers out their whose partners can't find employment or whose partners wouldn't make enough in the jobs that…
