Dude, this is America. There's only one class here, and it's middle. We don't allow unlimited inheritance. And we certainly don't let friends peek at our privates.

Catholics being anti-drinking? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha… I don't even… whew.

Well, come on, she's another Jessica! I'm sure they must have had similar experiences! Just like I'm sure your life parallels Erin Andrews's, or Erin Burnett's, or Erin Brockovich's, or maybe it's Gloria Estefan's, or Gloria Allred's, or Gloria In Excelsis Deo's, whoever that is.

I mean, nothing against that stuck-up compassionless ringworm Ann Romney, but Michelle Obama is all kinds of cool. I wish I were so lucky/deserving to attract someone like her. But she happens to have a relatively high amount of melanin in her skin, so yeah, clearly a !Kung San tribeswoman or a monkey, whichever is

Mother of ass? Is that some sort of Spanish idiom? Madre de burro!

Nah, the GOP will ensure that your voter registration is revoked automatically, no effort required.

The word "entitlement" actually has a meaning separate from its connotation of referring to "stuck-up bitches". It denotes a legally guaranteed benefit, such as, for example, Medicare, which covers certain health care costs for Americans over the age of 65; or Social Security, which provides a small guaranteed income

I don't know unfortunately, but everyone pays federal payroll taxes starting with the first dollar they make. The earned-income tax credit (largely thanks to Reagan) means that a number of working-class people get a refund on their federal income taxes though. That's still not counting state income or sales taxes,

Uh, I don't know what kind of class you're taking, but the normal pattern, particularly in a so-called "first-past-the-post" voting system like we have in the U.S., is that candidates run to the extremes during the primaries but run back to the center during the general election.

So you can't find anything wrong with the content, because it's entirely accurate, but you just have to complain about the tone?

And he wants to cut the long-term capital gains tax rate to zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Which would leave him paying an estimated federal tax rate of under 1% on tens of millions of dollars of income, even without the Swiss and Cayman Island tax shelters and dancing horse deductions.

As many others have mentioned, this is only counting federal income taxes, not (for example) payroll taxes (which even the poorest have to pay at the fixed rate but Mittens gets excused from after the ~$106k cutoff). And you can thank St. Reagan, aka Ronaldus Magnus, for vastly expanding the earned income tax credit

Well, "Mexican" is technically a nationality rather than a race so it's perfectly possible for a Mexican to be white; in a number of Latin American countries I think there's a strong correlation between percentage of European genes and social class. (Of course there's still a lot of discrimination in the U.S. against

But what about Matt Santos?

If Mitt Romney were, say, selling luxury yachts, his statement wouldn't be problematic and your analogy might make sense. On the other hand, if my aunt had balls, it would be more likely that I'd refer to her as my uncle, although of course anatomy is not destiny and it's xer choice how xe chooses to present xerself.

And Donald Trump would know — he's so paranoid about being photographed topless that he had an orange muskrat surgically attached to his top.

It might be a good idea to be defensive against being photographed topless by paparazzi or being raped in a dark alleyway, but even if you take no precautions at all, if such a thing should happen to you, it still doesn't mean you're at all to blame. It's the rapist who deserves the blame for rape, nobody else.

As a straight guy let me just note that it's none of my damn business what anyone else wants to do with their body, but it's depressing to hear how many people are unhappy with how they look (not that I'm any better, yay body dysmorphic disorder, but the societal pressures aren't the same for men). Looking good to

No matter how much anyone—including herself—tries to do with Sarah Palin, they always wind up with an EPIC FAIL.

Maybe it's just me, but these women seem like they're not just bold and beautiful but passionate about their rights and what they should be able to expect from society… is it wrong to find that very compellingly attractive? I'm not saying at all that my support would be contingent on anything, I'm just saying I agree
