I cannot fathom how the party of "family values" is against paid parental leave.

"Not only are we not going to do anything for you (out of respect) but we're also going to expend resources actively trying to make your life more difficult."

Yelp only has power over restaurants that give it to them. Bottom Bistro in Richmond, CA has a deal where you get a discount if you give them a one-star review. They started doing it after Yelp tried to extort them into paying for advertising that they didn't want, and are doing better than ever. They even say that…

I had, like three snarky, jokey responses all ready...but the more I read, the more I just felt depressed. How do they believe this drivel? We empower women by telling them to buy guns? Proper family leave policies are for wusses? Pay discrimination is your own fault, shouldn't have picked out a body with a uterus?

Meanwhile, over at wife academy, we drink cocktails and swap horror stories about men who apparently reached marriageable age without knowing how to cook, iron, or make a bed.

I don't see why this is not a thing already.

Normally with a story like Daniel Blake's I would be lamenting it as an example how people with their anti-gluten fad dieting are making things harder with people with real, genuine food allergy issues.

Mayo is the devil's condiment.

My best friend was negotiating the shared tenancy of a flat with a gym PR manager who looked exactly like Mark Vanderloo.

Christie's usual rationale for cutting family planning funding is that the state can't afford the $7.5 million. The attorneys he's hired to defend himself against allegations of corruption in Bridgegate have cost the state more than $6.52 million.

Sadly, no matter how many times advocates and others let people know that Planned Parenthood does more than abortions, the other side will not listen.

I read the headline as "Locked in Flaming Hell-War of Eggos."

Or they could spend the money instead on programs that teach men not to be monsters. But no, prevention of inevitable monster attack is better.

My god, why would you want to be a woman?

In other words, don't be a woman.

I've got a deal: you guys can make up 82% of comp science when we make up 82% of Congress. Isn't 18% enough? Awesome.

One of my good friends has a prosthetic lower leg (was able to keep his knee but lost everything below in an accident). Normally you can't tell, he doesn't even limp most of the time but walking long distances causes a lot of pain so he uses his handicapped pass at places like the mall, or events that involve walking…
