There needs to be some sort of third party intervention. It's obvious that the UAW has corruption issues that are deeper than surface level. You can't expect the organization to clean itself up when every day it's a new person being charged. Whatever the cost to clean up the organization is money better spent than…

Is it racist to use blackface if I am going out as Justin Trudeau? 

That’s a false sense of security. Anyone who wants on the site for the wrong reasons is probably already on there, or has no problem faking being a woman to do so. All this does is alienate fathers who are in the same situation. 

I get it. Music lends itself to different moods, seasons, etc. Type O built their image around the fall season. 

Love Type O Negative. They always put on a good show, and Peter Steele used to crack me up. My first concert in 94 was Type O opening for Danzig. Pete was sitting in the audience during sound check unrecognized. My friend pointed him out and I walked up and said mistakingly “aren’t you Pepper Keenan (lead singing for…

Number three happened in the back seat of a car. Though that involved moving car seats, so they are always in the way. 

As a law abiding father who doesn’t creep on people I do take it personal. Would you be cool with it if they discriminated based on other factors? 

Well they do work as an excellent birth control to keep us from having a fourth. Haha

But even that is insulting. Why do I have to be vouched for? Why can't I be trusted with the same expectations as the other members? How about start there and then boot the people that don't live up to those standards. 

Our kids for the most part slept with or near my wife in a co-sleeper. I wish we cut the cord at a young age because the girls are now 5 and 6 and still in our bed. Our son is 11 and finally moved to his own room less than 2 years ago. But don't worry, his space has been filled by the dog. I sometimes look forward to…

Actually I am quite empathic since I too came from a family that struggled to put meals on the table. I also had hopes of going to more school parties and dances, but I was grounded in the reality that we couldn't afford it. That's life. 

If you owe money because you can’t afford lunch then maybe the prom shouldn’t be a priority. I don’t think kids that owe lunch money should be denied meals, participation in sports, or other things fundamental to their actual education, but that doesn't include the prom. That's nothing but an expensive party that is…

I just find the no fathers thing insulting. It seems to be rooted in some narrow minded thinking that all men are creeps. I’m just a dad that had a lot of alone time with his kids. My wife worked an opposite schedule of weekend nights (no longer thankfully) and none of my male friends are parents. I'm not trying to…

Lexus is out due to styling. Can't blame them. 

I can only shake my head when Jalopnik tries to take the moral high ground on air pollution. You guys drive cars around to no where in particular and then write about the experience. What makes your use of air polluting vehicles any more necessary than the guy flying for business?

Perhaps someone with more expertise can better explain this, but according to my low level business law class there is a legal reason to combine assets. The basic premise is that assets in a joint account are exempt from legal claims against 1 of the married parties because it's not fair to punish the other. 

Hydrox and Oreo are also now owned by the same company. 

This article reminds me of a story my friend told me. He was on Facebook and checking out a friend’s account (one he must not have talked to recently). Anyway, the guy has a picture of his 3 young daughters, which my friend took as initiative to ask how they were doing. His rely was they were dead. Apparently my…

PIN number? Is this for the ATM machine?

Will these candidates be talking about the real gun violence problem in this country, or just the small percentage that gets most of the attention? The mass shootings deserve a conversation, but so do the thousands of yearly shootings that get zero mentions in the news. The ones that are just accepted as a common part…
