...And my instincts about the typical CPAC attendee were right: "Genital Herpes guy" > Jeb Bush.

Jeb was getting super impatient during Robertson's... whole thing, and then he got onstage and got aggressively and repeatedly booed. Not a great day for Jeb.

I went to the E.R. a year ago because I just felt "weird". My heart was beating a bit fast and I felt...no other way to say it....weird. I thought for sure I was being an idiot. Or that maybe they might say it was a panic attack. I almost talked myself out of going.

But seriously, "weakness, sweating, or fatigue" is a ludicrously unhelpful constellation of symptoms and a triage nightmare, it could literally be anything.

Yes, as an ER physician, I'm aware. But women need to be made aware of this, and actually go get checked out. And it's still astounding how many slightly older docs or grumpy residents will still blow these symptoms off.

I thought I had had a heart attack or similar. I went to the emergency room and got a bunch of tests and finally the Dr asked, "What exactly made you think you had something wrong with your heart?" I said, for the millionth time, that I had for a few days experienced chest pain, nausea, radiating pain into my arm and…

Of note, this (very small) study was based on interviews with women ages 30-55. Specifically young women are likely to delay getting help — possibly because for most women in their 30s heart attacks aren't even a consideration. Women are also more likely in general to have the kind of non specific symptoms that can…

Another huge issue is that women don't tend to present as often with the crushing chest pain that men do and that get publicized in all these articles. Their symptoms are often weakness, sweating, or fatigue, so they think that it's something else.

If you want to talk about what's more environmentally friendly, I have to say that I'd rather have the pipeline than freight trains running the oil across the country, especially in view of recent accidents. Train wrecks are much more catastrophic than pipeline leaks; they're more likely to hurt humans and endanger…

Cracking skulls? We're commenters on io9. No one is making a grand stand against anything just by typing a reply.

Alright, You've done it now, I'm going to use my one and only Obama critique.

BUT YOU DONT FUCKING GET ANYBODY TO AGREE WITH YOURE SHIT WHEN YOU'RE FUCKING. BLARING. AT. THEM. GET IT THROUGH YOUR SHITTY SKULL

Actually, that's a totally misleading chart because it only charts executive orders but not executive memorandum. They are effectively the same thing, but gullible reporters did not know to look for the memorandum, so they bought the "Obama has less executive orders" meme the White House was pushing. When you combine…

Everyone kinda misses the fact that FDR was essentialy a fascist with a heart of gold.

The counter argument is always about quanitity, but how about quality? There are executive orders that just make minor procedural changes to the working of a federal department and then there are executive orders that make major policy shifts without the input of Congress who are Consitutionally charged with creating…

I don't understand the pipeline animosity really. Pipelines are by far the safest and most efficient method of transporting oil. It's far safer for the environment than transporting it to Texas by train, by truck, or by tanker, which are the alternatives because america is not going to stop using petroleum based…

i'm with you. i get pissed about a lot of things, but the fact that old navy has a particular style of jean that they have been calling "the boyfriend" cut for years and that they continued that naming convention throughout their line for continuity, branding, or even because [i, personally, think that] putting…

This was my reaction as well. It's just the same name that they already have for women's jeans. Do they also sell the Sweetheart and the Diva in baby sizes? I don't know, but it seems totally possible, and so yeah this is not really pushing my outrage alarms. If they did not already have the Boyfriend line for…

I don't want to sound harsh but I hope you are kidding, because that is really dumb. Your kid will like what she likes to like and if she likes princess crap, don't shame her or make her feel ashamed.

I can't really get up in arms over this one, sorry. They aren't called 'boyfriend' jeans because the ladies who wear them are SO heterosexual and SO have a MAN they FUCK. They're called boyfriend jeans because unlikely traditionally cut, tighter women's jeans, they are looser and more relaxed throughout. Sure, baby…
