Marissa Alexander got 20 years for firing a warning shot into a wall to scare off her abusive husband and no one was injured. But if convicted on a manslaughter charge Bad Eyesight Becky here might do like 5. Thoughts & Prayers

That story still doesn’t make any sense. Also, randomly shooting into dark rooms is still murder.

The Simpson-Rosses are moderately entertaining, sure, but fail to capture the charm of other reality couples like Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler in Very Cavallari 

I honestly used to say “I’m a moderate” and I think that comes from a deep sense of not wanting to offend others.

Eh, as someone who, as I repeatedly note, would be an Eisenhower conservative if I lived in a sane political system, this “fiscally-conservative-but-socially-liberal” claptrap needs to be called out, specifically as claptrap. Often, and loudly.

I’ve pretty much followed the same path.  I actually voted for both Bushes (Dubya only once), and eventually bought the lie that is Centrism, only to realize somewhere in the middle of President Obama’s first term, that I’m really a hard left liberal who bought into Centrism for precisely the same reasons that Ham…

Eh, I used to be much the same, but the GOP has become something I cannot identify with anymore. Their “economic conservatism” = “we’re going to ride this train ‘til the wheels fall off, so all you poors try not to get hit by the falling wheels! Or don’t! Whatever. YOLO!”

It’s been split in two for a long long time. The only uniting feature is that the red and the blue both like to make money. It’s just they do this in different ways. 

The prevailing Democratic strategy does not work.

The blog is not required to explain who enormously popular musicians/actresses are every time they are mentioned. They don’t say “‘Good Will Hunting’ actor Ben Affleck,” do they? This isn’t People magazine, get your head out of your ass.

Who pulled you out of the greys? I’d like to kick them in the crotch.

Yes, she is both popular and talented. It’s weird you’ve never heard anything about her. 

I guess there should never be another musician again, given the number who have already existed.

Probs because they’re reporting on her comments and fashion. They aren’t reporting on her music in those particular articles because she’s more than just a singer. They probably assume that you know who she is and that if you don’t, you’re smart enough to Google it.

“if my wife found out, which she won’t” lol

Being a sociopath (or at least a person severely lacking in the conscience department) has to have its perks—like fucking whomever you want (assuming they’re willing) whenever you want.

I love sex—but I guess I hate the idea of potentially tearing a family apart by fucking two people in that family more. I dunno. I’ve…

You started an affair with a 17-year old when you were 24? 

But...what can I say, we really like fucking each other?

I mean, it might be a little bit true. I’m certainly extremely ashamed of America. 

Lot of people in the comments here going way too easy on Obama re: the concessions made in the ACA. He and Rahm were determined to make it a political victory instead of using the grassroots network that helped him win the office in the first place, and specifically told them to stop trying to pressure Democratic…
