What Jane said hits so close to home for me. I am intelligent and as feminist as they come, and logically I know that rape is never the fault of anyone but the rapist. But knowing that logically doesn’t always translate into applying it to yourself, or at least it didn’t for me. I would NEVER blame anyone else for…

There are a lot of bad things about George W. Bush. But by all indications he and Laura Bush were very good parents.

I thought Laura Bush has always been pro-women’s rights. Not that it’s a high bar but perhaps an unexpected one.

I know this isn’t a very extreme case of it, but I honestly live for women who grow up and say ‘fuck you’ to their fathers’ restrictive view points.

recusing himself now, after the allegations, when he refused to recuse himself before (even though, like, his status as “former campaign surrogate” obviously hasn’t changed) says “I’m guilty but the GOP’s spine fell out of its collective butt so let’s split the diff, mmmkay?”

Resign. Resign is the word you were looking for.

Y’all just love telling women to shut up, don’t you?

A television comedy writer that went to Harvard? Truly the rarest of flowers!

I agree that Clinton was historically way too far right (and she at least apologized and called those views as mistakes that she regretted) however, Sanders, Warren and Stein said all the right things but any intelligent American who read their websites up and down would realize, all three had no plan at all. They…

A lot of fair criticisms, obviously. And overall it would’ve been a really good piece if it didn’t so badly misjudge the electorate, this past election, history, and the Democratic Party.

It’s kind of a blanket assertion to imply that anyone who is famous for anything outside the world of politics doesn’t actually care about the issues. I don’t want to have to rely on goddamn Oprah to beat Trump, but let’s be honest: the president is the biggest celebrity in the world. His or her personality and media…

I don’t at all understand how that “applies equally well here”. The Democrats’ stated platform is to raise the minimum wage to $15, pass things like universal health care and mandatory sick days and workers’ rights, strengthen regulations, tax the wealthy, and increase the social safety net. The party and its members…

Jerry is so much better for her.

He’s trying to evoke JFK. Which in itself is pretty funny.

There are pockets of Georgia that are good. Like Atlanta and Savannah. It’s just the more rural parts are a little... y’know.

Yup. The irony is kind of delicious.

This is the silver lining in this awful story for me. I am completely amazed that Georgia pursued this case, used these laws to convict, and actually gave hefty sentences to these assholes.

six years on one count of violating Georgia’s street gang act

This is where someone reminds you how important it is to have carefully chosen the right parents.
