Nope. Sandberg is pretending she’s dancing between raindrops and not getting wet. But she’s saying outright, “We stand with Peter Thiel, and we want thin-skinned cowards with money where their balls should be on our Board.”

Novel? No.

Yeah, I’m Texan through and through and this resonates with me. I remember in Spring 2003 celebrating the Iraq invasion with my friends blaring Outkast’s B.O.B. I didn’t vote in the 2000 election, but I was old enough to, and I would’ve certainly voted for Bush just because my dad noted that it’s usually a good idea…

I grew up in the only Republican-leaning city of any consequence in the state of MN, among a sea of white upper-middle-class white collar workers. Most of the moms stayed home. It was so Stepford but of course how do you know that without any perspective? 13 years of Catholic school and you’ve got a recipe (and maybe…

I don’t really care if a desperate Iowa State hires Briles in 2017 to put a spread offense in. It’s about forcing Baylor to make its beloved football program worse - at least in the short-term - as a public acknowledgment that winning was placed above the physical safety of its students.

Being (unfortunately) familiar with Waco, I’m stunned that they actually fired him. I thought they would hold out until the bitter end.

When asked to comment on the serious allegations, Robert Griffin III stated, “It’s true, I’m on the Browns.”

Said Briles: “Originally the University gave me two weeks to decide to resign, but in true Baylor fashion they decided to go ahead and fuck me whether they had my consent or not.”

He’ll have another high profile gig in a couple of years max. Nothing significant will happen until the whole institution is burned to the ground first.

Poor guy, it will be at least three days before hes the head coach of another power 5 conference. My money would be on Georgia, he would love the public record laws they’ve passed

Baylor President Ken Starr will also be fired

It’s a start. Getting a footbaw-obsessed group of mouth-breathing evangelical hypocrites to actually support the women who pay them tuition won’t happen overnight, but this is a positive step.

It’s easy for Republicans to cut taxes and increase spending when the press allows them to blame Democrats as “tax and spend liberals” when the latter need to balance the budget by doing the responsible thing and raising taxes.

Starred because it deserves to be ungreyed. But I disagree that conservative policies are reasonable about money - see our military spending, the long term cost of cutting funding to health care, social safety nets, and education. It doesn't matter if you save a dime here if you lose a dollar later because your…

Hey, self-awareness is powerful indeed. You would prefer that a person doesn’t grow over his/her lifetime and acknowledge that growth? I don’t think anyone is fully formed at 18, and those who do are typically 18 year olds.

That’s not entirely fair—a lot of teens aren’t really educated on the issues, and if their families and friends are conservative and that’s all they know, they’re more likely to lean conservative. I was the same way (sans boyfriend) because I was raised in a very conservative Christian environment. I grew up and then…

Loved this. It so so so sums up my life politically—I grew up in rural Kentucky in a very conservative Southern Baptist family. When I registered to vote when I was 18, I registered Independent, but still voted Republican with my parents. When I was a freshman in college I was on the email list for the campus pro-life…

If anyone can win three in a row, one in hostile territory, it’s Golden State ... but it’s sure not looking likely right now. If the Thunder have finally figured out how to harness their tremendous athleticism to create a swarming, stifling defense (and it sure looks like they have), they’re going to be hard for any…

I really hate that you’re probably 100% correct...
