I’m amazed by the number of people bagging on her here for this. She had a bad opinion, but, here’s the rub: it changed. How are we supposed to be working towards a more equal future if the people we want to talk over to our side can always be shat upon for their previous views?

2005? Oh shit you guys, I’m from 10 years in the future and I have to tell you...shit gets worse. Take all of your money out of the market in 2007, you’ll thank me.

ugh someone help me get this huge stupid grin off my face before my co-workers think I care about things.

A man who gets to the finals of Grand Slam tournaments is not a mediocre tennis player. And if he is, I would give my left buttock and both my elbows to be half as mediocre. A quarter as mediocre. And eighth. A microinfinitesimal.

Hey, asshole, the U.S. is his fucking country! He’s Puerto-Rican, not Mexican. Why is he responsible for Mexico having good government any more than you are responsible for Greece or some other majority-white country having good government?

OMG! I had a friend who worked for the park service. She said she was talking about how glaciers were formed millions of years ago and some dude got all “well, if you BELIEVE in millions of years”! Like the entire concept of “a million years” was 100% foreign to this dummy’s brain. We had a good chuckle over that one.

I had an internship at a zoo in undergrad, and there was a note left about me one time. I explained that horseshoe crabs were an ancient species and you could see their relatives, the trilobites, in fossils from the Cambrian period. The dad got all huffy and asked how I knew it was “millions of years”, and I responded

Okay, maybe I’m just an overly rational voice of common sense here, BUT...

I’m going to try to be a wealthy, white, male millionaire when I next get pulled over. My Thurston Howell III impression is really going to come in handy. As an old black lady, it’ll be weird, but I may get out alive.

You know what’s awkward? Having an acquaintances 6 year old grab at my charm bracelet and then relentlessly beg me for two of the charms off of it.

PC crap means treating other people with respect.

Bjorn Disway.

Because institutionalized racism isn’t about logic.

And of course Delta Sigma Theta is primarily a black sorority.

Oh, FFS. This whole bag check thing wouldn’t have anything to do with Delta Sigma Theta being a historically black sorority, would it? Naah!

I’m so happy your city is finally acknowledging Jack the Ripper. It’s as if his memory and the murders he committed have been buried in the sands of time. When I visited, I only saw like, maybe 10 different Jack the Ripper tours. Shame.

As a London resident, I can say we don’t have nearly enough Jack the Ripper tourist traps. I wholeheartedly applaud this man’s innovative (and may I say... daring!) vision. This is a great day for female murder victims.

Who is “we”

Mary Fallin signed a law requiring welfare recipients to get drug-tested to receive food stamps. She talks constantly about self-reliance, personal responsibility, and cutting government waste. It’s rather noteworthy that her children are living on the taxpayers of the state, in an arrangement that in Christina’s case

watching the trailer... WOW, THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY... hahahaha
