I’m so sorry you had to go through all that. I did the same thing; figured I was safer if I waited to leave until he was locked up. But, thanks to the $1200/hr attorney he had, the ATTEMPTED MURDER and KIDNAPPING charges were reduced to aggravated assault/serious bodily injury, false restraint, unlawful imprisonment,…

·Also, why don’t women just leave abusive relationships?

Yeah, I read her letter several times over and was like, “Wait, something is missing here...” and then I realized what it was: acknowledgement that her son was, at best, being really fucking creepy. Her primary concern seemed to be, “they have money and I’m worried we’ll get railroaded.” Not very promising. And that’s…

Not because of autism concerns, but that getting doses too close together can limit their effectiveness. Science, not witchcraft.

“They suggest taking the money that goes to Planned Parenthood and give it to other similar facilities that do not perform abortions, because they don’t want government money to go into killing babies. How is that an irrational stance on science?”

i had an aneurysm when Huckabee complained that we don’t cure diseases any more.

I said this over on the Gizmodo article, which is just slightly below Gawker Prime in attracting right wing crackheads, and will say it again here. Ben Carson needs to have his medical license stripped. he is a lying pandering jackass using fear to advance a political agenda, which is his right. But he then loses the…

So, this almost seems like clever advertising for this:
