They didn't point out the and less because people were not complaining that he said "between", they were complaining that the number was way too high for an individual.

Since you have just requoted something, I'm going to guess that you are trying to tell me that the word "to" is somehow significant. Am I right? If he meant between, he would not have said "and less."

I'm not saying you should take him seriously. I don't. But blatantly misquoting him is not useful.

I did not read it that way. When asked if 100K was middle, he said no, 250 and less. That to me says that he includes 100K, but thinks it should go up to 250k. I took it as him saying that 100k was not the top of the middle class. Now, I'm not going to get into a big argument over that particular thing, since that…

Ok, I think Mitt Romney is vile and inhumane and cruel, but even I know that is not what he said. He said it is 200-250K AND LESS, not between. This really hurts the credibility of this site to willfully misread his statement like that.

If two people are each separately very rich, and each could cover all their expenses entirely on their own, then doesn't there stop being a "primary" breadwinner? I always think of a primary income as one that is vitally necessary for financial stability. These two don't need the other's income, so they are each…

Working towards a more diverse and tolerant zombie nation.

While the Dalai Lama is smart about science, this doesn't look like a statement on science to me. Rather, in a world where people kill each other in the name of one religion, and cut all social services in the name of another, people can no longer claim that simply adhering to religion is enough to make you moral and…

Why does being supportive of other women and helping them start businesses and be successful make someone childlike? That is quite mature actually.

Although this will inevitably be played as evidence that parenting somehow diminishes a father's masculinity, I think it shows us how full and complete men can be as parents. They are not devoid of the emotion and feelings of attachment and hormonal changes that are usually associate with mothers. They are designed…

Poor Conor Kennedy. He is getting absolutely nothing out of this thing with Taylor Swift.

This is directly from the Myths and Facts page of the Latch On NYC website. Is it Jezebel's position that they are just straight up lying?:

That isn't actually true, though. I saw plenty of folks commenting on articles (not here, obviously) saying that this was just gay sex and they were embarrassed they got caught because they trading sex with Sandusky for favors.

But who is paying for any of it? It is all private donations. They can spend it on whatever they think best fits the needs of the convention. If they think it is a good choice to provide childcare, they will spend it on that. If you had learned that they were already paying for it, I doubt you would have been…

BabyWise is not progressive in any way, shape, or form. It is based on conservative Christian biblical teachings. I got it as a gift, and it says you should teach the baby you are in charge by putting food in front of the baby and telling her not to eat it. If she tries to eat it, you slap her. Not kidding. Babies…

BabyWise is the absolute OPPOSITE of progressive parenting. No one in the world would lump that in with anything progressive. It is based on conservative Christian biblical teachings. It is a nightmare and very dangerous. Babies die because of it.

Tampax also seems to be trying to kill the biodegradable cardboard applicator style tampons. I have noticed that they are really trying to convince users to change to the plastic Pearl style. On every box of the cardboard style, which I prefer, they always have an ad for the Pearl version. "Next time, use the…

If the only way they can communicate is by sabotaging each other in national magazines, their relationship is in trouble.

"It turned out that not that many women actually believed that they were more important than anybody else—even the father—in their kids' life. "

It's more than just fat-phobia. We have a culture where the insult is prized above all else.
