Paul is the worst. He basically looked at all the “peace-and-love-help-the-poor” stuff Jesus taught and said “this needs more sexism.” Fuck Paul, man.

Interesting. This is one very particular Irish-American Catholic take on it, but I tend to associate talking about Jesus all the time with Protestants. When I was a child and still somewhat interested in non-denominational Christian media, that was always my signal that something wasn’t actually crafted with me in…

Also Irish Catholic. My family would have worked John Paul II and JFK into that list somewhere (definitely before St. Paul), but I agree with this general order.

TACK. IT’S TACK. THERE’S NO “NEW TACT” AS A TURN OF PHRASE. GOD HELP ME. WHEN WILL THIS STOP.

(Otherwise, nice one.)

This is a nice comment but recall we are Tough On Crime and must remain so even in our brains and internet comments. Nuance is for the enemy.

Watch NBC hire him. (Although realistically, he’ll probably drift to Brietbart or talk radio or something like that. He’ll land somewhere.)

This is terrific. Everyone needs a cribsheet to follow all the players.

YES!!!! AWESOME!

Oh thank goodness. Glad you’re finally here. Please follow me.

Peggy needs to be taken somewhere that people can keep an eye on her, draped in a warm blanket and given a nice pudding with her meds hidden inside.

There’s a nice pay it forward logic to Liza’s story.

Oh, geez, golf. I was contracting with a really conservative company a while back, and all the management-level guys went on a company-paid golf outing that was for “teambuilding.” They invited the management-level women (all two of them), but neither one played. So basically, these bozos got paid to play golf and…

I got dinner with a male man who wasn’t my husband lord master and then got diarrhea on the way home, so yes.

And it just perpetuates the myth that men can’t control themselves around women — and it’s the women’s fault

Exactly! It’s bigoted segregation. Can you imagine it conservative media  had said it’s not acceptable to dine with someone of a different race or religion? The hatefulness becomes obvious when you put it in terms like this. It’s the same crap that Augusta golf club was doing when they said women couldn’t be members.…

This annoys me to no fucking end. Women already get left out of a ton of the “social” kind of gatherings that really do help your career (“Oh, all the ‘boys’ went to the bar with the boss after work? Nice.”), and in jobs like politics (where you are on the road, or working late, or out at meetings a lot) that can…
