And you have to factor in that California subsidizes much of rest of the country (looking at you middle America) with the amount of federal taxes they send to DC every year.

California is currently sitting on a $4 BILLION surplus, how is your shit hole doing?
Its various other issues notwithstanding, California has in fact actually managed to balance its budget recently. Unlike other states with governors delusional enough to still think they're on the right-hand side of the Laffer curve (looking at you, Brownbackistan)
You do know that if you actually called him "Governor Brown" instead of a dog whistle nickname from 35 years ago, people might take your point seriously?
For those who don't know, Robert Campbell is giving the California version of "Benghazi!"
Your Limbaugh is showing.
Well, that explains why the blogger was anonymous. Because apparently authors are fucking nuts.
Celebrating 12 years today, and while we've been in difficult circumstances, it hasn't been difficult to be married.
Right? As a pediatrician, my least favorite is when they claim that list includes being a "nurse" or a "pediatrician." No, you're not. It took us a lot of time and money and licensing to get those degrees. Putting a bandaid on a cut =/= health professional. STFU.
I am beyond sick and tired of hearing SAHMs complain about their long resume of "chef, maid, chauffeur and bookkeeper all rolled into one!"
The poor ones aren't the ones complaining, though! The ones complaining are the ones who are rich, and often even have help - sitters, nannies, au pairs, part-time preschools, and so on. The poor ones are too busy busting their asses to have time to whine online.
I don't mind morons on Reddit; I'm more concerned with your pro-bono, ersatz lawyering on those morons' behalf in this Jezebel comment thread. The arguments you've put forth to defend the people who gleefully trade in, comment on, and masturbate to ill-gotten photos of women while denouncing the NSA are themselves…
So, let me get this straight, Reddit.
Professional linguist popping in to say that "grammatically correct" isn't a scientific term. It literally means nothing beyond what old-fashioned, aggressive traditionalists prescribe for humanity.
The fundamental tenet of formal linguistic study is that whatever native speakers use in real life is grammatical. So do…
It's 2014. Why the hell is this still an issue? Didn't we go through this crap in the 70s, when people had divorced parents? Was I so fucking revolutionary in the 80s to keep my real name upon marriage, aka my "maiden name" ? Don't women have their OWN NAMES yet? [screams, punches drywall]
Don't fuck with Retta OR Donna Meagle.
When you treat your kid as an extension of your brand your baby isn't black or white, it's GREEN.
I'm getting married in... shit, less than three months, and I like to think I'm quite reasonable. My take on the matter has always been that everyone else is doing me a favor. Literally nobody else on the face of the planet cares about my wedding as much as I do, and the people who show up anyway - never mind the ones…
I don't. I find most brides to be quite reasonable. Brides actually get unfairly dumped on a lot in the wedding planning process. The bride in this article, however, sounds like a peach.
