Balancing a full time job AND a maintaining an intimate relationship with a spouse AND raising kids usually requires a shift in priorities. If it didn't for you, well, you're better than most of us.

To LW#2: When someone chooses to marry, and especially when he or she has kids, priorities necessarily change. And unfortunately, that means drifting away from many people who were close friends in the "single" days. There's an excellent chance they don't dislike you, nor are they judging your decisions about marriage…

If Fox News had used that graphic, look out - this place would be apoplectic. Another example of Faux News' Misogyny! War on Women! But, instead, it's MSNBC. And the commentariat is instead filled with a little confusion, attempts to rationalize, or explain how it could be some type of misunderstanding. I think…

Wow. I remember when Deadspin was a hilarious blog dedicated to sports. Now it's a sad part of the Gawker empire trying to sell me stuff I don't need for a commission. And auto-playing loud commercials when I click on links. Any recommendations to blogs that deliver what Deadspin used to be about would be very welcome.

I'll throw my vote in for New York. I've got nothing against NY state, except that it's home to NYC - the dirty, rat-infested, city that is home to investment banks and other institutions responsible for most of the corrupt, immoral, greedy BS that tanked the economy and housing market. They got bailed out of their…

To all the idiots claiming that her conviction confirms that she is, in reality, guilty of murder: the same Italian justice system recently sentenced six scientists to six years in prison because they did not accurately predict a deadly earthquake.

It's hard to defend a legal system where this happened:

Not to defend Schiff's comments, here, but if the Daily Show is going to get snarky when people talk about "Economics 101," they should at least appear to know what they are talking about. Check out the chart at the 2:40 mark on the video. It doesn't look good when you make fun of other people's understanding of…

The Squee is weak with this one. Sorry.

All right... Who's watching flowers in the attic with me? #badgrandma!

So is she going to respond, or what?

I'd say it's just the opposite. Yes, Apple does get some criticism, but by and large they seem to get away with shitty outsourcing practices because people love their products. Shoot, Steve Jobs dies and the Internet acts like he was Mother Teresa. People seem to be able to pick and choose which multinational…

If the advertiser was a "favored" brand, say Apple (which is hilarious considering how they outsource manufacturing to overseas factories with dangerous conditions), people would flip for this ad. But because its Microsoft, well, they can't do anything right so lets make fun of them and pick them apart, shall we?

You're probably older than 30 and have grown out of shite music is all. You're better off for it.

If Rebecca Rose could do me a solid and not ever write "do me a solid" again, that would be just fantastic.

Based on the interview in the link below, it sounds like she was asked to commit to paying the tax that day:

If you get put on hold too long (10-15 minutes tops), take to Twitter. Or Facebook. Keep harassing them publicly until someone responds to you.

You sure spend a lot of time concerning yourself with someone you disagree with so strongly. Rather than simply ignoring trolls in your own content section, you feel the need to go THEIR websites and share screen grabs?

I'm not going to go as far as to say that Joaquin Phoenix is a WASTE of talent, because he's done some great things, but it sure seems like he's got the potential to have done so much more. I think he's a great actor who, unfortunately, isn't interested in having a prolific career full of great movies.

But it's Republicans and Christians waging war on women, right? Outlawing driving... Stoning girls who attend school... Effing Tea Party.
