Holy Christmas. I have a cat who is totally my best friend. We’ve been together for over 10 years; he saw me through a serious illness, a divorce, and a few moves. No joke that this kitty is my ride-or-die. We have traveled on airplanes together a dozen times and he’s chill.

Let somebody try to tell me to put MY BABY…

Bullshit. If a flight attendant said you need to put your puppy in the overhead bin and keep it there for the duration of the light, I would say I can’t do that. I wouldn’t be irate or shout back, because you’re right, these power tripping air crews are not rational human being to be fucked with. But I would gladly be…

No, it’s the owner’s fault. You bring the dog aboard in a carrier that fits under the seat or you don’t bring the dog at all. You don’t smuggle it aboard in a bag & then say nothing when you are made to store the bag properly.

Um, if someone told me to put my dog in the bin, I’d be like, “Yo there is a dog in there.” And if they continued to insist, I would ask to speak to the head attendant, and then the pilot. And if they still insisted, I’d get my ass off that plane. NOTHING would cause me to put my dog in the overhead bin. I would risk…

C’mon now, we’re not talking about the cops, no one’s about to get murdered in public. But I’d much rather see humans get kicked off a plane (shit, drag her for all I care) than have an innocent creature die alone.

Remember that one time when Howard Dean enthusiastically yelled on stage?

“We should have a new force called the Space Force. It’s like the Army and the Navy, but for space, because we’re spending a lot of money on space.”

Bluegrass wouldn’t exist without the blues. If anyone tries to tell you that any form of American music that isn’t like, Native American folk music, doesn’t owe a significant debt to black musicians and culture then they are full of shit.

Exactly, OJ did the crime, but the fact that he walked is 100% on the LAPD and their hard-on for framing black guys.

All the LAPD had to do was collect and file the evidence. Instead, they wanted to administer justice rather than let the system do it through legal means. They tried to fuck with evidence and got burned. If anyone wants to get mad, that’s where to start.

I too have always believed that it was much more than likely that OJ killed those people. At the same time I also believed that Cochrane did his job and the prosecution (and the police) did not. That’s the American justice system for you. *shrug*

It was aired to do what Fox News does best, make white people angry and afraid.

Poor, poor, persecuted white people! Force to watch an evil black man confess to killing a white woman 20+ years ago! Oh the horror! It must be awful for the whites to relive the killing, huh?

I don’t see exactly why this interview was aired. I mean I never believed he was innocent. I thought he was guilty and I thought that the prosecution ought to have lost that case. I guess I can be amused by the thumbing of the nose at white people who can be outraged once again at the fact that OJ got away with it but…

And Russ Feingold was in the senate for twenty years and was one of the most liberal there, being the ONLY voter against the patriot act, etc. Paul Ryan and Scott Walker are two of the most evil people in politics, but Wisconsin does have a strong liberal base. It’s just been gerrymandered to death over the last…

Have you met Wisconsin voters? They’ve voted for Paul Ryan 9 times and Scott Walker 3 times.

I found some really darling but not obvious nursing tops that became mainstays of my wardrobe for the 7-8 months I did the breastfeeding thing. And that’s about how long they lasted, as hungry babies can get pretty grabby!

Came here to say just this. Breastfeeding can be difficult to get the hang of, but when you do you often become a nursing ninja. I could feed my kids literally anywhere and no one would ever notice.

Wow, sis. If you’re actually Black you have some serious internalized issues with identifying with the oppressor. This broad is appropriating our culture and you’re finding a way to make that our fault because we’re cheap? Do you understand White people can spend insane amounts of money on their high culture because…

I blame Kanye ....and the other black men who have validated “all type girls” black men mindset.
