Hey, at least the 20-year age difference isn’t the usual older man / younger woman one....

The movie seems more The Big Lebowski than Chinatown — a mystery story where the detective is a bedraggled, amiable loser in LA.  And The Big Lebowski is also a meandering movie that tends to elicit a “WTF am I watching” reaction on first viewing. But it grows on you in a way that The Poolman seems unlikely to do. 

How many blown up or starving Palestinian babies equals the rape of one Jew?

I understand your concerns about his stroke, but I’m not sure a stroke can change all of your political views. Kind of like mental health issues didn’t turn Kanye into a misogynist. Sometimes terrible people also have mental health issues and strokes. It’s kind of like the “I said all of those racist things last…

It’s entirely possible that he was always an opportunist scumbag who said what he needed to get elected even though it wasn’t even passingly authentic. . . but I can’t help but wonder if what we are seeing now is the result of a cognitive shift post-stroke. Like, I guess it’s possible that he was some evil mastermind…

I am eternally mind-blown that my parents got their papers in 1969/70 in a matter of months, yet think it’s perfectly reasonable our Venezuelan friends went through a 14 year struggle plus attorney fees to get theirs...

I remain optimistic that we are in the death throes of this pendulum shift towards the dark masculine and am ever hopeful that the rise of the feminine will bring this perverted and warped belief and behaviours into check.

This is my story, too, except instead of a grandfather it was my father who raped and sexualy molested his daughters, sons and any child who he could victimize including nieces, nephews and lord knows how many others. Yes, I was among the victims. My mother was aware he was doing it but because she herself was raped…

I don’t know if they are “loudly” showing anything, but I do appreciate their willingness to at least engage with the concept that hey, maybe Palestinians are people too. Maybe Palestinian women are ALSO women! Maybe their mass killing and forced displacement is worthy of condemnation.

It made me so, so angry to see Planned Parenthood’s original statement, so I’m SO glad to see the workers band together and LOUDLY show support for Palestine! And thank you to Jezebel for continuing to also loudly show solidarity with Palestinians.  PERMANENT. CEASFIRE. NOW.

Anthony Bourdain’s take should be a preamble:

Oh, but he has shot someone.

It’s weird to hear a Republican call another “Colonel Sanders” as an insult...isn’t he basically their team mascot?

“Hard to think of much more American than[...]”

Hard to think of much more American than someone facing a censure vote for coming out strongly against slaughtering children and other innocent people. 

When +8,300 people have been bombed to shit, most of them were civilians, half of them were children, and you’re rooting against a cease-fire, you’re the problem.

Women aren’t asked about height with as much weight, but they are asked about hair, hair color, Botox, fillers, weight, plastic surgery, bust size, age and all sorts of invasive things on a regular basis.

Any man claiming to be 5'11" is at most 5'9". Men who are between 5'10" and 5'11" all claim 6'.

Whoa whoa, that sounded like a slight at Holy Mother Yennifuh, and I am not havin it. Just be happy for the women who even half-assedly survive their fame, much less these icons, because the list of those who do not is staggering. Britney, JLo, and Jennifer Anniston have single(triple)handedly held up messy tabloids,…

According to my mother, I was walking at 9 months, running at 9 months and 3 days. I’m the youngest, so maybe that was the deciding factor?
