That was my reaction. A disinterested third party really needs to corral this situation.

She absolutely knows everything there is to know about the Hyde Amendment. She is the wonkiest wonk that every wonked.

A similar fear has crossed my mind- we’ve seen how racism has helped obstruct the proper functioning of government for the last 8 years, I can’t see how misogyny is gonna be easier to combat.

Moreover, I think my wife is a total badass.

Termination of a pregnancy at 36 weeks is called “birth” and that person is called a “loon”.

I am shocked she’s going after Hyde. I don’t know if this will completely torpedo her chances, but wow. This won’t play to moderates and a lot of people who might have stayed home are now going to come out to vote Trump to save the babies. This is huge.

Jewish man... preaching to multi-enthic, multi-religious..folk and potentates and delivering game like that.. on national tv. That made for a great Friday and good send off to Ali.

A rabbi calling for the end of Israeli West Bank occupation. Hell yeah.

Sending your kids to the school they’ll the best education at? Only idiots and people without kids (or who don’t care about their kids) would call you a bad person because of that. Sadly, there are a lot of these people around here...

Look, call me selfish or a bad liberal but my kids are being sent to a place where they’ll be safe, where they’ll be well-educated and where they won’t have to deal with over-stressed, underpaid and disinterested teachers.

Well, you went to all that trouble to kidnap them and keep them in that hidden cellar, the least you can do is educate them.

I’m really looking forward to reading the responses here, because on the NY Times, even among the starred comments, there was quite a bit of backlash against the author (maybe that was even the most common reaction?). More than I’m used to seeing on a very heavily trafficked NY Times piece, for sure.

I’m going to home school my kids so that they learn the TRUTH about the geocentric universe we live in.

“Get over it. You have an amazing career and you’re on a hot show. Take your shirt off.”

So, the lesson is, if someone, somewhere, has it worse, you are never, ever allowed to complain?

The accident in the lab is concerning. Zika is frightening. But more concerning to me (ever since the accident) are the neighborhood cats that have started to go missing. And the chickens that were slaughtered in Mrs. O’Henneson’s coop last week. Coulda been a wolf, but....there was a print in the blood. Looked more…

God knows he’d put them in there for seven years and a day.

It does, I’ve seen pledges for certain fraternities that go through absolutely brutal hazing and never understood why they would stay in it.

they force women to wear high heels to boot.
