So my name IRL is Phyllis (something I once struggled with and then learned to embrace in my teen years). While in a woman's lit class in high school, reading the "Heidi Chronicals," we were tasked with writing a play about a female activist. Ever contrary, and obsessed with other women named Phyllis, I picked Phyllis…

No shit, I was re-reading the Handmaid's Tale on the train this morning and I was like OH HAY PHYLLIS

I agree. I thought Schlafly had gone the way of bee hives and three martini lunches.Something we giggle about. Who knew these views were still relevant to ANYONE?

Conservative women of her ilk are all about the "sui generis". They like to think they sprung like Athene, from the head of Zeus, and are special and boot-strap-py. But know that most women can't be like them. (more that they don't WANT most women to be like them.) So they downplay their accomplishments for the…

I . . . I didn't even realize that women going to college was something you could be mad about anymore.

I know Olbermann has given ESPN a lot of grief during his time but man, when he gets it right, he gets it right.

I usually get all cynical and annoyed by all the fame-loving losers who jump on the "good guy" bandwagon once a celebrity dies. But everything I've heard about Scott seems to indicate that he was a genuinely good guy who loved his job. So I've pushed my cynicism and annoyance to the side.

The Cowboys, the Eagles, and the Giants are all in the NFC East. The Cowboys, by and large, are loathed by NJ football fans. Beyond that, Jerry Jones is loathed by the entire world.

Have you met the average person in Jersey?

The entire state is filled with Giants and Eagles fans. WTF.

That was the whitest celebration since Oral Roberts last made the NCAA tournament.

Why did I click on Eisen's remarks? Just terrible to hear the news, especially from the guy I associate with Stuart Scott the most. Unreal. And try as he did, Eisen almost made it through the whole thing all together.
