To me, this is the most alarming issue of anything he has done or has promised to do so far because all other issues will stem from it. If the media is restricted in covering him, and he thinks it’s okay to tweet his news and release self made videos, then he can’t be held accountable for anything he does: who he…

I wonder if we shouldn’t be talking more about what an asshole John Dickerson is, for letting this ridiculous claim go unchallenged. Or CBS News as a general collection of assholes for having a social media team tweet this out as an unchallenged quote:

When you add the estimated costs of treating those infected by the HIV epidemic to the estimated economic losses from the laws, the taxpayers in Indiana have lost 260+ million thanks to this pandering to the base. I’m lobbying for a law that requires all laws to be Constitutional before passing. If the lawmakers were…

No, I have to say, that phrase is not really an exaggeration. I never thought it meant you had to hire priests or buy flowers, but it’s shorter than writing “have cremated or buried”. Nothing about the word funeral implies anything specific other than that.

The idiots elected Eric Holcomb who was responsible for advancing the RFRA bill. Holcomb touted what great shape the economy was here, but somehow forgot to mention the missing 60 million plus this hateful bill cost. Fiscally responsible is a term the GOP has no right to use in Indiana. In addition to the lost…

I’m familiar with the specifics of this—including the Snopes article, and while I’ll grant you that there did not have to be a public funeral, my takeaway is that a decision on burial or cremation by a funerary (that’s what it is, right?) be specified. If you hold that a fetus you have terminated is not, in fact, a…

Don’t forget that as governor of Indiana—THIS FUCKING YEAR—he signed a bill (thankfully thrown out by a human being of a judge) that would require women to hold funerals for fetuses not carried to term. HE’S A MONSTER!

I don’t always explore unfamiliar musical genres. But I love your critical and appreciative writing.

Jesus, and I thought that I thought people were stupid.

When I was 13-ish and visiting NYC with my family, I was waiting outside the Hard Rock Cafe (ahhh, remember the 90s?) with my GRANDPARENTS, while my parents took my brothers to the HRC gift shop to buy...tshirts, I guess. Anyway - I remember exactly what I was wearing - plaid shorts, a white tshirt with PENN STATE…

And these entitled fucks think if you go to college you get a good job like they did when they were young, before they destroyed society by doing a bunch of coke and voting for Reagan. "This'll work fine!"

One time when I was outside of a Cheesecake Factory smoking a cigarette a man propositioned me thinking I was a hooker.

I had a table once whisper loudly to their children, "if you don't go to college, you'll end up waiting tables like her..." while I was prebussing their table.

Remember it? She bragged to all her friends about it over cocktails. "Can you imagine? The little server girl claimed she went to Cowboy State University! I guess she might have, they never let ugly girls into any decent sorority, so they get stuck working at Sonic. Still, I put her in her place, all right!" All…

Along the same lines as Becca's story about people making assumptions about educational backgrounds, I waited tables at an Italian chain restaurant that falls between Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill in terms of cost/quality the summer between college and law school. Our clientele was generally pretty decent, and as a…

My husband is in the mental health ward of the VA hospital dealing with withdrawal from the medication he was on to treat heroin addition (suboxone) plus PTSD. I finally had to call an ambulance after he attacked me during a psychotic episode. I went to visit him today and he is still way out of it, promising to file…

I’ve been singlefor the entire Obama administration. I’m terrified to try online dating so it looks like that’ll keep going.

I’ve been single for almost 10 yrs now! And at first it was like a protest. I had just gotten so sick of the world’s shit, I was opting out of human company. Ididn’t take long for me to realize I prefer this.
