When this doesn’t work, the “doctor” blames the woman, who already feels guilty. This is how a ton of anti-abortion groups get members. They are manipulative jerks. My mother was one of them. Fortunately, she’s too infirm to keep doing this, but she does give them a ton of money.

So toss out values and stated goals to save our values and maybe do a little something that looks similar to our stated goals? If you’re saying “love it or leave it”then you’re no different from the right.

And Claws.

From King of the World by David Remnick: Ultimately boxing is indefensible.

Jane Curtain is right: there is a joke using the bulletproof vest to indicate the futility of a groping attempt. It’s focus isn’t the woman, it’s the man who’s too dim to understand the situation. It’s not a good joke, but it’s about him, not her.

How are sports teams allowed non-profit status? This has to change.

CEOs once again showing why they’re (not) worth 300 times what the average worker is paid.

What would you do if a customer refused to be served by a black person? Would you still serve that customer or ask him/her to leave?

School funding dropped precipitously during and after busing. Busing provided the impetus for vouchers and the first charter schools programs. Cutting funding for public education was the intent of the conservatives who supported busing and income-based food & public housing programs. The purpose was to bring in…

ESPN and all sports businesses are happy to trot out Jackie Robinson and sell jerseys with the number 42, they’re happy to claim Jessie Owens as an icon of American values and do flag waving TV specials on him, they’ll even do special promotions about the Negro Leagues and the All American Girls Professional League…

The opposing end of abortion are abortion is required for all or denied for all. Individual choice as part of public heath policy is the compromise.

Anything that isn’t a medical evaluation between a doctor and patient is intrusion. Nuance is situational. You have to trust the judgement of those involved to make a complex moral choice, not politicians or police to make a generalized law or rule.

Graham is one of those avuncular men who is “a nice guy” so people mistake politeness for compassion. He’s always been a jerk, but now that the volume has been dialed up, he gets to be louder than he has been. He has done nothing particular and everything simply by being a GOP guy.

How old do they have to be before they’re required to dye their hair blonde?

Stop equating calling things properly with not attending to society’s evils. It is possible to be concerned about the homeless and want to do away with unnecessary and inaccurate terminology, terminology that presents objects and tasks as if they are suited to or representative on a gender.

Zuckerberg has only spent about three days in his San Francisco compound since the three years of construction finished about two years ago. His security guards are there full time, so maybe they heard it from their perpetually monitored positions.

Cripplingly stupid. I live about two miles from this hill and ambulances are a regular sight as idiots fall off their boards or decide to race a streetcar or challenge the traffic light at the bottom of the hill. I saw a skateboarder careen down the hill into a car crossing the intersection. The car couldn’t have…

Steyer is from a rich family who sent him to school to get richer. All these uber wealthy people make money not from building or making anything, but from manipulating money by using financial instruments. Hedge funds and private equity, for example, create companies that borrow huge sums of money and invest in or buy…

Two things would bring baseballs fortunes up:
