Sure.  But let’s not pretend this is something that’s just endemic to women who grow up in conservative and/or religious households.  

I’ll be blunt: I really don’t care to hear anything about Jean’s personal life because it’s all going to be slanted for shit anyway. I read about how there was weed in his apartment and it pisses me off because it’s only being reported in order to slander him. I read about how much of an exemplary life he led and I…

I think their success makes perfect sense to me.  Why offer 25 different mediocre menu items when you can just do one thing well?  

That’s not how protest works.

On the other hand, it sounds like something I would say to someone who I thought was stupid and wanted to fuck with them.

Because Chicago has been a Democratic stronghold for forever, and, more recently, because Obama represented Illinois and has Chicago ties. So it’s because the go-to canard for the Right whenever they want to shit on Democratic governance and dog-whistle about urban violence.

“...that fail catastrophically and expensively shortly thereafter,” I have to ask: what kind of cars are they buying? And how terrible are they at maintaining them?

The important difference is that when you own your home and gentrification pushes your property taxes up, you benefit from the increased value of your house when you sell it. When you’re a renter it’s your landlord who makes money when he sells the house for twice as much as he paid for it.

“We’ve seen this community change,” Linda Krakora said. “If we were racists, we would have moved out of Maple Heights a long time ago, but we didn’t. We stayed.”

Yup. Happened to me when I was living with my Mom after I got out of the USAF. She lived in an affluent suburb at the time. My car got broken into around Christmastime and presents were stolen. I figured it was a bunch of spoiled neighborhood kids, but the talk around the neighborhood was that it was “those gangs from…

No way on Gehrig. He was a 6x WS champion, 2x MVP, and won the triple crown.  He had plenty of success in addition to individual accolades.  Joe Thomas not only never made the playoffs, he was only on a team with a winning record once during his career.  No way you’d take his career over Gehrig’s.

In the context, it means having lots of casual, unattached sex with lots of different partners.

Yikes. I’ll have to check but I’m pretty sure I wore that exact same combination of blue jeans / white shirt / black leather jacket in one of my high school senior pictures.  And I’m pretty sure I thought I looked cool.

Because even if the Democrats take the same low road as the Republicans, it still serves GOP goals.  The penultimate goal of the GOP/Conservatives is to castrate the Federal government so that the states they most strongly represent can outlaw abortion, bring back Jim Crow (or worse), eliminate social welfare, and all…

Trust me. In another ten years or so, your high metabolism is going to stop, and you’re going to have to actually work at keeping weight off.

Only 38?

There’s a reason The Freak got in on the 1st ballot and not T.O.

If they’re blocking porn in the White House because reasons then I’m against that; the POTUS should be able to watch porn to their heart’s content. On the other hand if they’re blocking porn in the White House because Agent Orange is the last individual who should be watching porn, I support that 100%.

Caution: Exhibiting White Male Confidence without White Male Privilege has been known to lead to prison, serious injury or death.

...why can’t you progressives have that attitude when it comes to halting the flow of illegal immigration?
