My mother-in-law and I were arguing about the Halloween letter at Yale last year and she literally said, “But people who get into Yale aren’t racists.” So we don’t need to screen them out I suppose. They are a figment of our imaginations

A hilarious slide show would have been a montage of pictures of me and all the strange places I fell asleep. Someone should do that.

I never needed a subway seat more than my first trimester when I wasn't showing at all and was constantly about to fall asleep regardless of the situation.

Yeah - like letting them get on stage in front of the school and sing Total Eclipse of the Heart knowing they can’t hit the high notes. Or going to school dressed like Punky Brewster. This is the wrong approach if that's the goal

Setting aside the question of whether they should have been posted in the first place... What kind of controlling, asshole parents wouldn’t delete them from public view at the child’s request?

No. Stuff like this has been adjudicated since before the Internet.

You could make that argument about all kinds of medical treatments. Why aren't people committing crimes left and right to get healthcare coverage?

Wow! Me too - immediately thought of dumb mansplaining comment. Dammit! I hate self-reflection. I have enough other shit to deal with. Ok. Here I go.

I’m old so I remember when President Bush I vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister and fainted and when President Bush II choked on a pretzel and fainted. Sometimes people faint.

Also in her defense I passed out while jogging when I was 20 years old and went to the hospital in a ambulance and the issue was that I didn’t hydrate enough before heading out. She’s 68 and has been campaigning for over a year and it was hot and emotional and standing for 90 minutes and she’s wearing a damn pantsuit…

Too close to call

Found it!

I wish I could remember where I read an explanation but the theory is that their religion is based on being persecuted and maintaining faith anyway. You can't prove your piety if you are free to worship unencumbered. So they have to make up this fake persecution instead.

Donald Trump has destroyed all the Republican sacred cows. From their self-righteous family values to their self-righteous patriotism. He’s exposed them as hypocrites and ruined the ability of any Republican who supports him to campaign on those themes. They'll have to pitch their policies and be overt racists. Good…

Ugh New York Post. This American Life isn't produced by NPR. It happens to be carried by local public radio stations. It has nothing to do with NPR. And since The New York Post got that detail wrong, I reject all of their reporting. Good day sir.

I generally recommend that any child diagnosed with autism not receive any more vaccines.

It will.

The average voter has a sense of what they think of a candidate and headlines of articles just reinforce that idea. So their sense is that Hillary is an obfuscating liar. So they don’t wander into the weeds of the issue, so regardless of what an article says, they just hear “private email server” over and over and it…

The first one could be the angle and that he's halfway off the curb. The second one I agree is fake.

My first impulse was to look for an “oh my god i’m so excited” gif. But then I thought about how Katie Holmes seems like a good mom and even if Suri doesn’t have much contact with her father (which it seems like she doesn’t) I suspect Holmes will not really be interested in airing all the dirty laundry of her child’s…
