Well in my experience as a public school educator, a lot of Republicans (and sadly the general public as well) truly think that “Obamacare” means everyone is getting fancy all-inclusive insurance plans for next to nothing.  During the whole Act 10 thing in WI with Scott Walker, one of the big talking points was that…

Ugh. I don’t even know where to start. First of all, just like living in poverty does not equal abuse or neglect, low IQ does not equal abuse or neglect. Secondly, a person can have a lower IQ and still have solid functional daily living skills. Thirdly, the goal should be to provide them support and resources to…

It’s worse than you thought. He doesn’t think it’s $12 a month, he thinks it’s $12 a YEAR!

Dude. Marcon is “holding your hand” because he’s trying to get you to keep your pervy hands off his wife.  

So she went on a first date with a dude IN THE WOODS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Yeah that sounds safe and totally like a good sensible idea.

Me too, and that’s a big deal because my husband (a teacher) and I (a social worker) are drowning in student loans. And because of that, we can’t afford the grad classes I would need in order to get the licensure necessary to advance my career. So not having loan forgiveness means we are stuck where we are and won’t…

Uh, as a native of Holland, MI and someone whose family still lives there, I’d prefer she not stay there. I feel there are much better places for her, like Siberia for example.

That’s not what the picture at the top of the article would have us believe.

Seriously though, why ARE so many kowtowing to him? Obviously they are well aware that he is a mentally incompetent sack of dirty diapers, all he does is a)embarrass them and b)put them at risk of going to prison, and yet they continue to cater to his every demented whim. What exactly do they think he is going to do…

Let’s also not forget how it was the Republicans who refused to even consider any SCOTUS nominations from Obama. So I call this a big steaming mug of obstructionist karma.

Good point. My thought process was that I’d like to know but that if she chooses not to disclose that I should just be happy for her and not care who the father is. Also, I’m secretly hoping it’s BJ Novak- I mean, they’ve dated in the past, they’re still good friends, it would be perfect!

That’s awesome! Ours was a surprise after a miscarriage and a year and a half of unsuccessful fertility treatments (then again, that might be because the doctor we were seeing was a complete hack, as it turns out). We thought about having a second one, but don’t think we have the emotional (or financial) strength to…

That’s what I’m worried about! I had my daughter at 36 (husband was 38) and we’re already the oldest parents at swimming lessons- can’t wait for kindergarten. When I was pregnant the doctors office treated me like some kind of senior citizen- prefacing everything with “well, because of your age...”

Yay for Mindy Kaling! I’m always happy to see other new moms in my age bracket out there because (selfishly) it makes me feel less self-conscious about being an older mom.

That was my first thought as well. This impostor show better not ruin First Dates! Also, when is First Dates coming back!!?

Why not? It’s worked out pretty well for her so far.

I find the giveaway that the writer is male is usually their description of what the woman is wearing. Male writers always dress their female characters in clothes that are a) outdated and b) totally inappropriate for the setting/situation. And they spend waaay more time describing said outfit, shoes, accessories,…

I think part of the argument against having them on all the time is that it could discourage domestic violence victims from reporting/asking for help because camera footage could be admissible in court. But then again, the fear of being shot by an officer for reporting a crime is a pretty big deterrent too......

When I first got engaged I created an account online with David’s Bridal so I could save/bookmark dresses I liked. Seriously within a week I was getting spammed with nonstop calls from sketchy sounding DJ companies and makeup artists. I did not buy my dress from them after that.

Well that is an excellent point. But then again she’s a woman, so in the eyes of the GOP, she might get her period and vote the wrong way.
