The shelter may not have known; sometimes dogs don’t present all their problems in the time they’re at the shelter. I adopted a Rottie and she started showing aggression after a few weeks; she didn’t bite anyone, but she didn’t want anyone getting too close to me, and it was only a matter of time. She had other…

You must be out of your goddamn mind. I'm at a club dancing with my girls and I'm going to take time out of my day to not only shoot a clueless man down, but give him a point-by-point list of all the reasons I'm not interested in his boner? And that is somehow more "human" than just saying no or referring to a…

That would be because some men are incapable of taking no for an answer, and it's a bigger subset of the population than you think.

I'll never understand this blind insistence that the justice system is inherently hostile fair to rape victims. This Unless the case is what we call a slam dunk, there's video of them carrying the unconscious women (so she clearly couldn't have consented), and there's photographic evidence (that they attempted to…

I love these questions, but I never have good answers; my whole wedding was - I don't know what the word is. I don't want to sound holier-than-thou and say low-key or unconventional, but really, it was. We got married someplace beautiful and warm, we didn't care if anyone came, I saw the cake the day of the wedding,…

I moved in with my husband and his three kids when they were 4, 7, and 11; on top of a new person and missing mom, now they had to deal with all new food. I grew up in a clean-your-plate household; no matter what it was, I had to eat it. All that did was solidify forever my hatred of certain foods, and I didn't want…

Damn right.

To be fair, I was thinking that too, at first. "Obviously she wanted a latte!" But the more I read, the more I started doubting my own sanity. Maybe there really is such a thing as a coffee latte, and I just don't know because I'm not a barista? Maybe everyone pronounces it coffee latte, and I'm hopelessly…

And Mountain Dew. Don't forget the Mountain Dew.

This can't possibly be true. *Looks back over the last 44 or so years of human interaction* Oh, wait. Yeah, it's true. *cries for humanity*

The woman screamed "I WANT A FUCKING COFFEE LATTE!" when asked to clarify her order. The third thing she said was a screamed profanity. Fuck that noise, nothing Anna Holden did was going to make this woman happy. Even if she did want a cafe latte, it wouldn't have been "as good" as Starbucks and she'd have been…

Yeah. You know what my kid does when he doesn't like dinner? Eats it. The world would be a better place if this was true for all kids; because those entitled little asses grow up to be entitled adult asses, and we all suffer.

Because all the places have all the things and THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

" it was a blow to the american sentiment of safety and pride i didn't think american life was UNDONE"

I liked your comment because I think it's important for us Americans to see and hear the opinions of the rest of the world; it's something we don't do nearly often enough. But I think a lot of people would take exception to the idea that American freedom or our way of life are not threatened. I don't want to jump too…

This is a fantastic and thought-provoking review; thank you for writing it.

Well, you'd know; you seem to have the art of bullshit down to a fucking science.

Using your religion as the basis to write laws establishes religion as part of the state. You can't do it.

Actually, your religion guiding your moral stance, if you seek to impose that moral stance upon me in the form of laws, tramples my rights. That's what some of us are trying to say; if anyone in Congress is using their Christian religion as the basis of laws that are going to affect non-Christians, they are imposing…

To answer Mr. Huckabee's last question, I'll take the MBA in the "Beemer." As a woman, I'd be nervous that a couple of good ol' boys in a pickup truck might hurt me, and the MBA in the BMW might be female; he didn't say.
