We all know they are lust-inspired.  Our kingdoms for a guy (these days) willing to put a little finesse into it. 

They didn’t learn their lesson with Peter Thiel, apparently.

I was the babysitter in charge of infants before I was ten. Way back in the old days. I am not sure how old I was before I was in charge at night for a full parents’ night out, but I distinctly remember babysitting infants for a few hours in the daytime before I was ten.  I was shocked the first time I was asked to…

When I was little, adults had dinner parties all the time at each others’ houses and the kids played until they got sleepy and went to bed until the parents carried them, half asleep, to the car.  The kids were expected to play together in the back room and leave the adults alone. But nowadays, many families eschew…

It’s probably that they don’t dare acknowledge any unfairness within earshot of the men who rule the roost in their households. Or the fallout will be more trouble than it was worth.

I don’t buy either story.  I bet they were hating on their so-called liberal friends for a long time before they went public.  And that both stories are silly cover stories they bandy about for sport.

I don’t buy it that they did their 180 on Election Night 2016. I think that’s a cover story meant to 1) try to avoid criticism from their former friends 2) mess with the liberals they hate. They probably formerly hated liberals in secret, but now are enjoying their revenge.

This is based on the only super-staunch…

This article from 2008 dissects Diane Feinstein’s use of red in the standard “Congresswoman’s suit”

Here’s a delightful essay on the kinds of clothes required to “come into the presence” of elites and “serve.”  Well, it’s really about the clothes they purchased for Sarah Palin in 2008 versus the “Bridge” clothes Hillary and Diane Feinstein, etc., wear, but there’s a small segment about the reasons “your real estate…

Are you sure about that? The Council of Jerusalem (50 C.E.) decided that Gentile converts to Christianity didn’t have to get circumcised or keep the Law of Moses. They only had to refrain from eating meat offered to idols, refrain from eating blood, and not do it in the road.

And here is St. Paul quipping that those…

It reminds me of a case that happened in 1987. Lita McClinton, an African-American woman from a prominent Atlanta family, was shot and killed by a hit man hired by her estranged husband, a rich white Palm Beach man, James Sullivan. He subsequently married another woman of color, Suki Sullivan, and reportedly…

Hey! I know Anne Pritchett!

Well, it was in my Weekly Reader or maybe Scholastic magazine when I was in 8th grade.  I didn’t know it was from Yoko but I disliked the quote then for the reasons cited in this article. Also I hate the Beatles.  Always have. 

I care about this issue and about Andrea as well. I read an article earlier (can’t remember where it was) by another of his victims. To have someone’s arm on one’s throat cutting off one’s breath is terrifying. I have no doubt she feared for her life. But I don’t post much on Jezebel anymore. I still learn a lot from…

Are you sure?  Because I’m not. 

One time I read that a reason for Balin’s and Slick’s distinctive sound was that they sang in fifths.  

In this year died King Alfred.  He was a noble king and good.  It is said that in his kingdom, a virgin might walk naked from one end to the other and none dare molest her.  -- The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle   

I agree.  I also think there’s another factor that isn’t talked about as much:  Scorekeeping.  Some people wanna notch their belt to keep score and feel like they have boosted their status.  Being denied isn’t just a blow to their physical desires, but much more to their status desires.  I think that factor is a lot…

It’s still creepy enough to be shunned by all of polite society.
