I know some parents who pulled their daughters out of boarding school because about because half of the girls had gotten it (including them)

Unpopular opinion, but I think I’m all right with this if the funding only goes to pro-life candidates when there are no credible pro-choice candidates running. Of course the reproductive rights candidates should be prioritized. But if that’s not an option, I’d rather have a pro-life Democrat who agrees with me 80% of…

The only way I was able to watch the second debate was to get blitzed out drink and yelled at by the wife for getting drunk in the living room and the explaining politics to her when she was trying to sleep. It was like an unfunny episode of drunk history.

Okay so how much was that co-host paid by trump to say that? Of course by paid I mean promised a large amount of money, but it was never received.

I don’t know if that’s what McCain came to DC to do.(I’m not saying you are claiming that was his intent just that I’m genuinely unsure of his intent here, myself.) McConnell certainly thought he had him or he would never have brought the bill forward. And I doubt McCain lied to him.

Oh, for sure: it’s not to downplay his other legislative issues, the fact he’s not really a maverick, the hard work Collins and Murkowski did from day one, or the fact that McCain gave us Palin. I can appreciate, however, the art of the last minute ‘fuck you,’ and if anyone knows the procedural rules necessary to do…

Unrelated but I had to share this. I was getting ready to grill while living with my grandparents-in-law, and my grandpa-in-law is blaring whatever garbage is on Fox news on Sunday nights. The panel is talking about the Justin Trudeau rolling Stone cover and pointing out how many first great albums they didn’t like…

He’s also previously said his favorite band is Rage Against the Machine without any sense of irony that he is in fact the machine we are raging against.

I’m not certain that it fucked up his relationship with the service that much. I believe more servicemembers are right-leaning than left-leaning. There is an awful lot of racism, misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia in the services. Lots of toxic masculinity. Lots of bitching that black guys and women are taking all…

Cop here. Paddy wagons are still a thing- my agency calls them transport vans but departments in high volume areas still refer to them as paddy wagons.

There was nude photography in the cafeteria where I worked a few years back. And it was not an organization that was directly related to art. It didn’t bother me any except for it was exactly the kind of thing I was told to never hang in my office at the mandatory sexual harassment training said organization made all…

I think the reason I wouldn’t put nudes in my apartment is because I’d be afraid of being perceived as a bohemian-try-hard. As a bohemian-try-hard, my biggest fear is that too many people identify this essential element of my “personality,” which is a sad pastiche of my favorite 20th-century characters and authors or,…

If you remove all the vowels from Reince Preibus’ name, you get: “RNC PR BS”

The highlight of my day now is poring over the Barf Bag “some tweets the President was allowed to publish” section to find what I like to call the daily “Code 45*”. You discover this coded message by finding all the words that earned an exclamation point in Trump’s daily Tweet pile. Sometimes the message comes out…

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is about a freak storm wrecking a ship and killing a bunch of working-class sailors. So, more like what the GOP was trying to do with healthcare.

lThere is a good article on The Root which deals with this argument called “in defense of wypipo”, challenging the conventional argument that if white people made fun of black people in ‘x’ way, they would be considered racist. It also begins with the writer, a black man, acknowledging he realized this through a…

Yeah, but, humans ain’t shit.

WHO’S SICK OF ALL THIS WINNING!?!?

It truly is. Think of all the books to read, films to watch, food and wine and spirits to try, places to travel (the whole line of Viking River cruises, but booking the whole ship so no other people would be onboard!), private islands - on in the Thousand Islands, one in the Virgin Islands, and I could go on.....

I never understood why he took the job. Can’t these rich fuckers just go somewhere and enjoy being rich? God wealth is wasted on the rich.
