“Would that be a huge controversy?” the former Arkansas governor asked. “Yes.” Read more

Shit on the toilet seat always baffled me. What the fuck is up with that? Bad aim? Ran out of time? Pretensile asshole? Forgot how to sit down?

What? It’s almost as if you don’t realize an erection is the ultimate magic scepter of approval. It’s like a barometer for female worth, but with veins and sometimes a faint hint of camembert. I mean, obviously.

This is why I can’t get on board with any organization that requires me to leave my free will and ability for critical thought at the door, and let some hierarchical power structure do all my think-work for me.

STAY YOUNG. STAY BITTER. STAY YOU.

So you agree with the position that the people who would try to stop yoga in public schools on religious grounds are wrong but you thought, fuck it, let's defend blind faith instead? Read more

Whatever, there was no marriage until the Christian God (THE ONLY GOD) was like, "Let there be light and also marriage. But not for the gays because that's icky." Also that happened 6000 years ago and paleontologists are just a bunch of dirty liars. Fact.

Drawing the liner on way outside her real lip line doesn't account for the shadows cast by the light source and the three-dimensionality of her new lips.

And we definitely shouldn't be teaching critical thinking skills. But we must teach our kids math so we can outshine those… Read more

What in the everloving fuck is she talking about? Read more

We are so behind so many countries in math and science. They are not even getting the basic education because they are getting taught that evolution doesn't exist and that the earth is 6,000 years old. Read more

True. It's also amusing because this fundamental reliance on teaching the modern corruption of American exceptionalism at all costs belies this underlying shame about our country's often checkered past. The only real reason you wouldn't want to teach our real history is if you were ashamed of it. Because, really, it's… Read more

You don't get to bitch about students falling behind in math and science while supporting 'teach the controversy' bullshit or out right removal of evolution from the curriculum.
