Polite AND sensible! What a kid!

If that were my kid, that’d be my proudest moment. I think I’d shed a tear.

Years ago, my Fox News-watching dad came over for a visit and gave my son Bill O’Reilly’s book for teenagers. My son said “Thanks Grandpa” and after my folks went home, my kid tossed the book in the garbage. He was 14.

This might be the first time I’ve ever read an article about smoking pot… And then not wanted to smoke pot. This makes pot sound tedious.

Maybe he finally looked his daughter in the eye, only to be overwhelmed by existential despair when he saw how ashamed she was of him.

Since November, the national media’s opinion sections have been filled with calls to seek “insight” or “empathy” towards Trump voters, along with heartwarming tales of our fundamental shared humanity.

“I am not a racist.”™

You don’t need to prove anything, there’s no feminist jury on the sidelines judging your every decision, and I think you should let go of the pressure you’ve put on yourself because it seems counterproductive. Forcing her to…

What a lot of people defending this need to realise is that black students, especially in areas where there are few of them, will let these jokes slide or even participate in them, claiming it’s all in good fun, and they’re not bothered.

“Anne Hathaway was under no obligation to talk to me—in fact, given her feelings about Jezebel, she had good reason not to”

Man, you guys owe this woman a 50-page apology. I don’t know why anybody hates her— someone didn’t like the sincerity level of a speech she gave and that’s why so many years of public abuse and loathing? Or something?
