So you like mashed peas? Hey, nothing wrong with that. But call ‘em mashed peas.

I think this is most important for the people who aren’t die-hard anti-vaxxers but have opted not to vaccinate because of mild mistrust and because, until now, CA made it so easy to do. Given a choice between homeschooling and vaccinating, a lot of parents will take the path of least resistance and go ahead and…

This is my mom when she was a girl. She survived polio when she was five years old and was never again able to walk without the aid of crutches or a wheelchair. She caught polio shortly before the vaccine was available. She said she remembers being terrified of catching polio and one day going for a long and very fast…

My mother had polio. My MOTHER. I am one generation removed from polio and I get to see how the pain of having suffered that illness has affected her throughout her life. I see the scars that cover her legs from the Braces she had to wear as a child and the surgeries she had to endure. Giant Frankensteinlike like…

Please tell me you can see this?

I’d say it is a few decades too late to worry about being embarrassed Cos. I think we passed embarrassed sometime in the 70’s and we’re up to disgusted.

I love stories like this!

you could not pay me to go back

That’s just sweet and adorable! Good for him, and i hope he’s able to keep going like he wants to.

He should teach about WW2 in High School.

Ding ding ding! Correct. He really doesn’t have that power actually. Not without the support of this little thing called the legislative branch he doesn’t. He can talk all he wants but words are not laws and he can’t pass laws without Congress-and unfortunately, they aren’t inclined to do anything he asks for, in case…

Pope Francis is a Jesuit, so he definitely differs from the past popes. Jesuits are more into social justice, equality and open-minded thinking than the more traditional Catholic church. The order has been persecuted in the past by the Catholic church for their more liberal slant.

Did it ever occur to him maybe she didn’t worry about looking hot when she went for THERAPY??

And LOLing forever at how he hastily qualifies that she's not, like, a total uggo. Because if that were the case then she'd just be a simple lost cause and everyone could go home.

Basket case, lets her off for what she did. this has been calculating, manipulative and some of the most racist behavior to hit the public eye for decades. Saying she is a basket case dismisses the pain and hurt and difficulty she has caused for black people who are light or fair skinned, mixed children and the…

Not only did she have to be African American but she was “whipped” by her parents “based on the completion of her skin.” It’s like she’s trying to out-black black people with her crap. This is some fucked up fantasy for her. She is nasty.

I would question this guy’s ability to be a juror if this was a case of statutory rape like it was with his, since he was underaged but still even after all these years claims that it was a consensual relationship. If that were the case, then yes, kick his ass off the jury, and do it all over again.

Yeah that might fly if she hadn’t sued Howard University for discrimination and claimed it was because she was white. This wasn’t when she was 5 years old, she was applying for a teaching assistant job at Howard. So her story changes to suit the questions being asked.

No horse will ever match Secretariat’s Belmont win, but American Pharoah just ran the second faster Belmont. Being second to Secretariat is an honor.

Secretariat seemed less a horse and more the earthly manifestation of the spirit of Pegasus.
