Yes, yes, yes! I am continually gobsmacked at the number of people who don’t get that when an individual person becomes a State actor, they check their individual rights at the door. Seems so very simple to me, yet we seem to have a constant stream of legislators who can’t grasp the concept.

if you can’t do your job—particularly as a bureaucrat with a tax-payer salary and thus a duty to the people—you need to step aside for someone who will.

So true. And Michelle Obama tries to pick the most neutral causes to support as First Lady, most likely in order to avoid more claims that she was a Black Panther Feminazi, and the Right still gets into a lather about her opposition to childhood obesity. Like what the genuine fuck? No way that outrage would have…

1. Strangulation is one of the most terrorizing and lethal forms of violence used by men against their female intimate partners. The act of strangulation symbolizes an abuser’s power and control over the victim, most of whom are female. The sensation of suffocating can be terrifying; the victim is completely overwhelmed…

Yeah it’s weird, I don’t even have anything against the British personally, but this whole thing stinks of hubris and a Brit superiority complex that I’m itching to see smacked down.

If I'm reading it right I believe she wants to exit from modernity, complexity, and responsibility.

At this point I’m really hoping Scotland votes again to GTFO and then the EU fast tracks them back in.

Anything that lets the Scots screw over the British is cool in my book.

We gave our son the middle name “Lewis” for him. My wife told him so while shaking his hand at his book signing when she was pregnant with our son.

Attitudes like this contribute to thepolitical environment we have now. One has to exhaust their options before they can say everything is futile. I used to think that progressive ppl needed an out of this world political strategy in order to affect change and now I’m not so sure.

A Republican could say the exact same thing, it’s why Boehner was ousted. It’s why conservatives don’t like Ryan. Everyone wants to be a winner at everything.

It’s like you folks don’t believe in compromise (Republicans AND Democrats.)

The thing is, its been a long damn time since anyone’s made this much of a concerted effort to get some sort of gun control passed. I’m not popping the cork on any champagne until something actually gets passed but it does my heart good to see some fucking effort for once.

JEALOUS!! Your congressman’s rap sheet is due to being a civil rights icon, while MY congressman is Darrell Issa, whose rap sheet exists because he’s a car thief and arsonist. :-(

I like how you’re ignoring the OpenSecrets list that shows only 4 Democrats have gotten any money from the NRA. Four. 4. FOUR.

That’s actually what Methodism is. Just secret members of other faiths. John Wesley was actually the first Pastafarian, but he had to keep it a secret, so he started Methodism.

I love that I don’t know what Hillary’s faith is. It means she’s done her jobs the way the founding fathers wanted.

Seriously! The whiny little manbabies who were so upset about Mad Max were the reason I paid to see Mad Max in the theater.

My mom’s only Ghostbusters story has to do with me, adorably wearing my friend’s toy proton pack, declaring that I was as cool as Janine.

And y’know what, Janine was awesome. Therefore I am awesome.
We are all Janine.

You know what ruined things from my childhood? That my favorite childhood books are racist as fuck, that Kirk Cameron grew up to be well himself, and that Bill Cosby is a rapist.

Right! If all the movies that have a majority male cast are “for boys”, then what the hell has ever been for me?

I love the implicit assumption that the only fans of the original movie were male.
