Moral Rectionary Logic: “Votes should matter, but only as long as they are the right votes!”

Anti-choice activists will pay handsome speaker’s fees to her after they heard her babble fiction about harvesting live baby brains.

I admit though, seeing him be a dick to the other Republican candidates on stage was pretty entertaining.

To say that a female professor is sexy would be redundant.

Some of them do. Back in the 80s and 90s the cultural conservatives managed to secure support from the economic conservatives by saying that families who have more children they unexpectedly need to care for will be more urgent consumers of things like childcare goods. Likewise, it did not take a genius for some of…

I am reminded of the ‘08 election as well, particularly when some conservative commentators optimistically predicted that many disappointed Hillary supporters would flock to Sarah Palin when she was announced as McCain’s running mate.

I pray for him all the time. If one day he is hit with a lightening bolt of divine retribution from the sky then I know that prayer has been answered.

I like how Wil Wheaton described this guy as having a “resting douche face.”

Huh, this certainly explains why I (as a male) had such a hard time attracting women before I learned how to smile in a manner that did not scream of artificiality.

That would be like when the Klingon Empire made a clone of their founder and patron saint Khaless The Unforgettable. It unfortunately caused friction as the nominal empire was in fact ruled by an elected Chancellor, until they set the precedent that the Emperor could reign as a ceremonial figure but rulership would…

Is it bad that part of me is just waiting for Ailes to die of an anxiety-induced heart attack and for Fox News to tear itself to pieces in a bloody succession crisis as the various personalities there duke it out for ascendancy and future relevance?

Maybe he is sleeping his way to the top?

More complicated than even compassion. She also gets a source of labor that is both very inexpensive and simultaneously very loyal. They have to stick with her because literally no one else will accept them. Her practices can be interpreted as either compassion or ruthless pragmatism.

According to Michael Kimmel, a big part of the reason is that with the erosion of the middle class and the consolidation of businesses, the things like the decent-wage blue collar earner or the family farm owner or small store prioritor of previous generations find themselves out of luck, and the vast majority of…

I always fantasized about being some kind of liberal, social-justice Cthulhu, walking around people like that, imposing the true knowledge of reality directly into their minds by my mere presence, and driving them to hair-tearing madness as their brains struggle futilely to rationalize it.

It is unconstitutional, but that rarely stops “values voters” from trying. They are like the MRA/pickup-artist crossovers, who are hoping that if they just nag enough it will get the Supreme Court to change their mind, and if the Surpreme Court makes it clear in no uncertain terms that their advances are wasteful and…

I have heard that getting the D on a regular basis does wonders for mood.

That is what safe words (and hand gestures for those times when the mouth is otherwise occupied) are for.

Kate, your metaphors are almost as much pleasure as I imagine this position to be.

I find a big part of the problem is that some people are so frightened of Big Pharma that they run right into the arms of Big Placebo.
