True, this country seems to be regressing instead of progressing. I thought the New Deal settled matters on which economic and political philosophy is best, but, apparently not. How did we reach a second, far greater Gilded Age? It's Marx' dictum of history repeating as tragedy and as farce. I'm for creating a social…

Soo, apparently it's not okay to describe conditions in an entire continent from what is happening in a few countries?

Illegal immigrants as federal Marshalls? How does even make sense to anyone?

When I was living in the deep South the local news channel would present Alaskan news as international news.

I say this as an American. We have information on everything at our fingertips, but we're too goddamn lazy to learn anything that's more complicated than a Buzzfeed listicle.

maps, just fuckin everyone up.

Ok? In my post did I refer to this particular woman. But we've already seen that Thomas Duncan lied on official forms about being exposed to Ebola. So yeah good luck with trying to get truthful information from those who were potentially exposed.

I am merely pointing out that it must be much more contagious than they are telling us. I don't call that paranoid, I call that rational thinking.

Doesn't it scare you that trained Nurses are catching Ebola from patients despite being extremely cautious and covering themselves from head to toe in protective gear? I have a hard time believing what they are saying about it not being very contagious.

Well sure, but for flu to be dangerous, your immune system has to be weakened, and/or you shouldn't have access to modern medical infra structure. If you are young, healthy, and in the first world catching the flu isn't dangerous, unless you happen upon some rare strain. Meanwhile, the same young, healthy person in…

In fairness, its somewhat more likely to kill you than the flu.

There is a whiff of "not all men" whinyness about you.

One of the biggest misconceptions about feminism is that women have to blindly support each other. Taylor seems like a lovely person but she's not above critique.

I suppose Katy Perry's "California Gurls" should have discussed water shortages, migrant farm worker's rights, rising rent and gentrification, and state budget shortfalls.

It's not slut-shaming, it's an entitled celebrity bored with having to do her job. Presumably the reason a musician sits for an interview is to talk about promoting their work — in this case it's the ass-centric song, and the ass-centric video. Nobody is forcing her to do anything — she's choosing to do these…

Adorable but I must say that Nina Totenberg somehow (her inflection? magic?) manages to make her coverage of the Supreme Court both interesting and informative. So if you're really interested in Holt vs Hobbs or other cases, I'd recommend one check her out.

Don't forget figure skating.

Daawww!
