This guy was my dentist. I’ve spent much of the past 24 hours trying not to be physically ill knowing that I gave this guy money. That I unknowingly helped him in this horrific act. He deserves to lose his practice and rot in an African prison.

Fun story: in the 1980s, my father’s weekly column was syndicated by United Features Syndicate, the same syndicate who sold Garfield. Whenever my dad would go into NYC to meet with his editor, he’d come back with a new Garfield book or two for me. (Many of them were autographed, which was pretty cool.) I had the whole…

aw man, i had a pink garfield thermos lunch box as a kid. shit was cool.

I worked at one for two months in 1999. They probably did not have anything in stock and no one to order it from another store for you since they were very understaffed. When the weekly flyer would come out part of my job was to go through my department and mark off the things we did not have in stock, and then…

That’s why I say people are pro-birth, not pro-life. They couldn’t give a shit what happens to the kid, as long as it’s born.

When you have no substance, sensation is really your only option. Ginning up bullshit moral outrage on false grounds is pretty much all the GOP has, and it has proven remarkably effective at swaying ignorant, fundamentalist, racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc. ad infinitum voters, so why wouldn’t they run with it?

I am unsurprised but dismayed by how much of this outcry is driven by the yucky and blunt language used by the pp doctors about preserving organs for research.

I pretend it says “Our compassion for your baby starts at conception and ends at birth!” Seems to be a more accurate motto for these people

The first time someone told me that they lived at home I was genuinely confused, like don’t we all live at home?

I think this is a bit different - you’re not siphoning resources for free off of the state, her kids are (which is illegal, but apparently not on her property because loopholes). I don’t think kids who live at home with their parents are automatic losers, but when you have this parent championing “PULL YOURSELVES UP…

ONE MAN

I am actually one of those weird people who would LOVE to live with their parents forever and ever. Not for financial reasons or anything like that but because my parents are the funniest, kindest, greatest humans I’ve ever met. They are the biggest badasses and my absolute best friends.

I have honestly looked into embryo adoption (called “snowflake children” by the more loopy of its proponents) because my husband and I had planned to have another child, but after the birth of our first, I was diagnosed with a genetic, autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - I know…

Do utilities in the governor’s mansion get paid out of the state’s pockets? If so, then wouldn’t that be kind of shitty? To have your daughter piggy-back on freebies when you advocate the whole “pull yourself up from your bootstraps” or whatever?

while she looks for more permanent housing

Dear so-called “pro-life” crowd:

I don’t understand the outrage here. We commend parents who donate their dead child’s organs. Why is donating a dead fetus’s tissue somehow abhorrent?

can’t we just try to like...repeal obamacare for the 50th time or something?

So the Republicans can’t come up with new policy ideas to improve economic growth (which used to be their tagline) so now they just throw up as many tax-payer-funded “investigations” into non-controversies like this and the Benghazi attacks. Additionally, if the people pushing this and similar non-issues really cared…

Just as our tax money is going into “investigating” Benghazi...
