I'm surprised that a contract like that doesn't have any kind of morality clause that would give them an out. Like if Cosby were accused of pedophilia would he still be allowed to go up?

I think the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms still gives assholes the right to tell jokes. The way to stop an event like this is to pressure the financial supporters of the venue.

If Canada's so great, move there now. I'm sick of my homeland being American liberals' equivalent of running away to live with grandma.

Obviously I can't know how any of these lawmakers would react to a hypothetical situation, but I suspect most would think "well, her situation's different" if their own wife needed an abortion at 22 weeks for the reason the original poster outlined. But for some reason the Congress is filled with a bunch of…

Yeah except she never said anything about rape. She said "[girls] compete for men on men's terms." Merlan has read an argument about rape into the original source that just isn't there (unless Schlafly edited the article since this post).

You have totally misread this article. Schlafly is saying that women outnumber men on campus and the majority of men on campus suck anyway, so women get left fighting for men and end up having shitty relationships that are more male-oriented than they would be in a gender balanced environment. She might be an…

You should read the original article. Schlafly might make questionable points about Title IX but she doesn't mention rape or sexual assault at all. Her argument is that there are more women on campus than men, and most of the men who are left suck anyway, so women in the market for love have to do it on men's terms…

I don't know if she changed it since you posted this write-up, but the article you linked to does not at all mention rape or sexual assault. Her point is that college women have low-quality, male-type relationships (i.e. more sex, less commitment) because the women overwhelmingly outnumber men and the vast majority of…

Chewy Chips Ahoy or regular Chips Ahoy?

Any recommendations for books/websites that suggest meals? As a time-pressed city person I have a hard time figuring out what I should be eating.

I liked this joke better when Fresh Beets made it.

If "bare-ass" didn't clue you in you're beyond hope.

It's an ass, not a cock, Francis. Ever seen a Coppertone bottle?

Not to discount the subsequent harassment, but it's illegal to keep combustible things in a hallway in a New York apartment (because they impair emergency egress and can cause fire to spread more rapidly). Your landlord wasn't stealing from you, he was cleaning shit you left in a public space that doesn't belong to…

That is a genie that cannot be put back, the same way we cannot put back the blogging genie that allows Jezebel, Gawker et al. to continue to publish dumb shit that would never make it past a newspaper editor.

Ugh. "Partner"? Are you from Vancouver? You guys really have to stop with that.

Fuck you for taking an 18-month old on a transatlantic flight. Unless he's going to accept the Nobel Prize he can skip that journey.

I don't get the hurt over a private awards show. The Grammys aren't God's own music awards. They're awards given out by a trade association (The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences — anyone have a clue what they do besides give out awards? I don't).

That the now widower was shooting blindly is not a fair inference from that statement.

Eyewitness testimony from four Christian men or 12 Christian women.
