I agree. I spent years staffing tables at Little League bake sales as a kid, and found out later that most of the money was to pay dues for families who couldn’t afford for their kids to play. Our town was lucky; local businesses usually contributed equipment and uniform in return for free advertising on the backs of

Oh I had only read about the Cooperstown trip, which is why I’m so annoyed about it. If it’s for uniforms and equipment, fine; even rich parents don’t want to pay for everything for their kids to play sports, which is fine. But if she’s CLAIMING that shit’s for basic Little League operating costs and it’s actually for

I’m guessing three grand is good-hearted people who have money to throw. But I’m also guessing at least ten grand of that is attributable to the deluded idea that they’re owning the libs by paying for Alyssa Milano’s son’s baseball team to take a vacation.

I agree 100%. My comment was in response to the article’s general tone that there’s nothing sleazy about what Alyssa Milano is doing here. The kid is blameless; she’s not. This is a GoFundMe not for uniforms or equipment, but for an expensive vacation for an entire Little League team. Milano’s not evil, and probably

It would be one thing if it was a GoFundMe for uniforms, travel to games, etc...stuff that’s necessary to enjoy a Little League season. It seems she’s paid for a lot of that for her son’s team, and good for her. But that’s not what this is. This GoFundMe is for the entire team to go to Cooperstown so they can visit

I’m American expat. It’s gasoline. Petrol makes it sound way too fancy.

Of course they shouldn’t hassle the kid (or, honestly, even her) and of course she might be cash-poor. All that is true. The problem here is that, presumably, on a team with 11 non-celebrity moms and one celebrity mom, the celebrity mom chose to advertise it. One of the other 11 moms could have just put up a GoFundMe

Wow. Thank you, but it accords with my findings exactly. I’m pretty sure Biden was also the moving cause behind the Hindenburg, the Sri Lankan tsunami of 2004 AND the 48th time Mr. Bill got squished by that clay press and died screaming in agony. Like these brave gas station patriots, I must take a stand.

You’re absolutely right, Starve. You in particular shouldn’t vote. But you’re not as powerless as you feel. You and Crystal and Julia could open a women’s support group.

Mikey totally would, but his hookup to Big White God is temporarily down. Turns out that God is a lot harder to fool than the Covenant Eyes software about your internet search history.

I’m in UK, where normal people can’t even afford gas (and worse, you have to call it petrol). I know nothing of any of this; please explain.

Good job, Justin. Janet Jackson, as well as all of us who were young during N’Sync’s hideous reign of musical terror, will just have to wait until you grow a brain stem, I guess.

Damn I was about to make this joke. :) -bows out-

Nah, this is standard GOP. Remember how if you cut social services, people magically won’t need social services? It happens because you say so. If Biden would only wave that magic wand they handed him at his inauguration and fix the hundreds of years of damaging US interference in Latin and South America that helped

LOL. Reminds me of these:

These people can actually just choose not to go!

Anybody remember the time Donnie was inaugurated and only 6,000 people came? How far into the future are Taylor Swift’s concerts sold out? Into the twenty-third century, I think?

Thank you, missed that. Yes, these people can fuck right off. I’m over here in the UK, and Little Valve (in the equivalent of second grade) has “health” classes that currently deal with accepting people of all colors and faiths and backgrounds. In fourth year, they’ll start on the basics of sex, and that’ll include acc

I don’t know. Sure; it’s good to jettison the toxic ex from your life. But if that toxic ex is the President, you can’t do that. I’m not sure you’d have a choice but to obsess over the minutiae of how toxic he is and how to bring him down.

Aren’t these the same people who wanted to keep sex out of the classroom? Also, though I’d like to smack these people on principle, this video won’t be that effective either way. The sort of high schoolers who will fall for it are the ones who’ve already been indoctrinated by their pastor since age 3 to see evil
