Right! Something to take away the pain of losing the bright, promising future he had.

The blog post he writes is an excellent reference for future outbreaks of WLDPS wherever one might encounter them on the rugged frontiers of the Internets. Definitely bookmarked for later use (filed under "educational material" with tags #mansplaining and #exampleofintelligentcontrition). Critical reflection and…

I adore this. Yoinked. Spasiba!

I thought the chart you supplied really added to the peer-reviewed level of credibility.

I agree this is a huge wake-up call and has…

Very tidily phrased, geriatriccase. It is so matter-of-fact, I'm bloody terrified. I admire your turn of phrase in several places in particular:

I would pay fangirl money to watch her pummel Sarah Palin in a debate on how government works.

Toilet humor is the only humor in times of such crises. Why are you still grey?
