A generation that says “hey assholes, we’re sick of your racist, sexist & homophobic bullshit and we’re now going to call you out on it” isn’t the pussy generation. It’s the greatest generation.

I love you for it, too! It is a great time to be alive. Glass ceiling broken. Smug, white, male entitled internet trolls owned. A victory for wonks, professionalism and toughness.

I love boring. Give me boring, steady and responsible over unhinged, burn-down-the-house assholery any day. We actually have a pretty good system of governement that needs some big reforms. However, I don’t burn down my house when the roof needs fixing. I fix the roof.

The manager of the grocery store I shop at is a white, tattooed ex-marine in his 40s and he’s passionately pro-Hilary. He was during the primaries, too. He’s all about “management experience” and “understanding what governement is supposed to do”.

I’m going to admit to a conspiracy. Hilary is the product of one. Like her, I graduated from Wellesley College. It’s not a secret organization, but it’s an elite entity that was founded with the idea that women are entitled to the same opportunties as men and don’t have to ask men’s permission to be powerful and…

In 2008, she lost with grace. Now, she wins with grace.

Yes. There’s a former BBC presenter named David Icke who insists Princess Diana told him the Queen and all the most powerful people in the world were lizard aliens. He has a lot of followers, though how many are serious I don’t know.

Next time someone says show me a hero and a badass, I’m showing them a picture of Elizbeth Smart.

Her fans vote consistently - in those twitter retweet or fav polls.

One thing I’m learning this election cycle is that movie studios are funded by credit unions, autonomous collectives and gofundme campaigns. After all, people who shout that nobody should ever take money from big banks would never take a multi-million dollar payday in a big superhero epic funded and/or supported by a…

And this is why I will never vote for Sanders. I’m a college professor, and my campus is jammed packed with grey-haired hippies who bloviate against the system, idolize Europe as a paradise, screamed that Hugo Chavez’s revolution would last forever and are fantastic at yelling and wasting everyone’s time. You put any…

I once took a class on humor writing, and the male professor taught a unit on “why women aren’t funny” and how women like Tina Fey overcame that. I brought up that Irma Bombeck was the most read newspaper columnist in this country for years, and the most clipped and pasted on refrigerators. He basically told me that…

The worst thing about Will’s death is in the months since the death aired, several off the record sources have told fans - at events and such - that Dena Higley the head writer pitched Will’s death as a way to lure back conservative viewers for the show’s 50th Anniversary. So, unlike all these straight writers who…

Happens all the time on TV. This past October the daytime soap Days of Our Lives gruesomely killed off its gay legacy character, Will Horton, in a way that was a blatant and obvious pander to conservative viewers. There was so much hate messaging, a lot of people thought the show might be pulled from the air. It’s…

I’m going to take this one step further. Did anyone see the movie “Bernie” with Jack Black and was based on a true story? It’s not a joke. Poor Richard Simmons might be dead and his maid, brother and manager might be trying to keep the gravy train going.

People need to let go of the ridiculous nonsense dichotomy of natural versus unnatural. Not only is it fairly meaningless, many, many things that fit the strict definition of “all natural” are completely toxic. Plenty of synthetic chemicals are not only harmless to most things, they are far superior to their natural…

I’m willing to entertain the idea that the amount of violence perpetuated by football players and ex-football players, particularly NFL players, has a connection not only to misogynist culture within the sport, the entitlement of athletes and the aggression required to play certain positions well, but also the…

Monsieur Roland and I in a position to be picking names. Jagger will not go on the list for either a boy or a girl. Even though I remain an Antonio Sabato Jr. fan to this day.

I saw a morbidly obsese man, as in he had a seatbelt extention and had to walk with a cane, berate a flight attendant for nearly an hour because she wouldn’t bring him a mixed drink from first class. She offered him beer or wine from coach, but he demanded a mixed drink from first class. To put his demand in context,…

Even if the father is not abusive, putting the kids in juvenile detention for believing and being loyal to their mom is abusive and won’t/most certainly didn’t undo whatever alienation tactics the mother has used (assuming she did for a moment). Those weeks in detention probably just gave the kids more reason to hate…
