Is that the one who married the lady who crashed the White House? Or would that be another Journey person?

Ok so... much like Otto, my dad was also vaccine-injured. My dad contracted polio from the polio vaccine, and narrowly escaped paralysis or death. It took a decade for him to recover his weight, and it was nothing short of miraculous.

wow Anna why is gawker so biased in favor of facts and science and medical research

Yep, it just takes longer and it makes your mouth super numb and ick.

Oh definitely. Nothing worse than a room full of really smart articulate people who know how to construct an argument and who hate each other deeply. Academic dramz is the most cutthroat dramz.

No, of course not. Saying “You can’t hold me accountable for my words because of free speech” is conservative bullshit. First amendment protects you from the government, not from your employer getting mad and firing you.

Citing “freedom of speech” when you have to face consequences for the things you say is. Freedom of speech does not mean that you can say whatever the fuck you want at any time, and no one can disagree with you or decide that they don’t want to associate with you based on it.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say there were some political vendettas at work here. This is a trumped up justification. Ain’t no grudges like academic grudges. Professors are like elephants in that regard.

I just watched Crocodile Dundee again the other night.... and Mick gets the guy to use the coke in a humidifier situation... I still wonder if that would have worked

I would assume so. I mean, it’d have to get absorbed into your blood stream at some point in the digestive process. It probably just wouldn’t be as quick or as potent as straight up the nose.

Can we replace the Yoko tweets with BRA tweets? How has that not happened already?

I went to a party this weekend where the host was making a cocktail called Scalia’s Tears. It was delicious!

Counterpoint: RBG.

“I viewed it as harassment and wouldn’t comply. So yeah, not a good employee.”

Yeah, it wasn’t that long ago that it seemed like a big deal if a major company had an ad in, like, the Advocate with two guys kissing, or a company had domestic partnership benefits.. Now you see ads on network TV with gay couples, and Fortune 500 companies issuing amicus briefs on why gay marriage should be legal. I…

Yep, and while I’m not that old, I can easily remember a time when a brand speaking out in favor of same-sex marriage would’ve been made a sort of corporate pariah. I’ve followed the HRC’s equal-rights buying guide for a good while. It’s really heartening to see more and more companies offering insurance benefits, HR…

I know some people may have some issue with the corporate tweets and such of support as maybe be crass commercialism, but keep in mind that these companies employ gay and lesbian employees and for those folks it means a lot that they know their employer has their back.

Slaves did not lose their dignity because the government allowed them to be enslaved. My employees did not lose their dignity because I kept trying to show them my dick and putting my pubic hairs on their drinks. If we’re being honest with each other, I’m not sure what the word dignity means. What’s happening, again?…

Well, we don’t pee out of them, for one thing.
