duh. this info is super public and basic. don’t you guys read gawker???

preach. girl!

i have to respond to your points piecemeal because i’m at work and don’t have enough time. but, to start:

also—would love to hear your take on bernie’s gun stance. do you think it’s just coincidence that it’s politically expedient to be pro-gun in vermont, and bernie happens to be pro-gun? personally, i think it’s evidence that bernie is just as political as the rest of them. fortunately for him, he’s been in a…

lol that nuance is exactly HRC’s point this election — sometimes you have to swallow the good with the bad. that is the opposite of bernie’s stump speech, which is an all-or-nothing approach.

if HRC was a man, she would have won the primary in ‘08 and crushed whomever ran against her this time months ago. how about this — imagine HRC had been married twice and mothered a child with a third man she never married — would she even be a viable candidate? just lol.

(see your headline.) while those are deplorable, my understanding is that this bill outlaws ordinance that attempt to protect all lgbt people from discrimination (including workplace discrimination). isn’t that equally problematic?

please tell us more things about being an assistant [not sarcastic]

Let’s tell Senator Bright what we really think: http://www.scstatehouse.gov/member.php?cod…

the second circuit recently upheld the lawfulness of appropriation art just like this in the case of richard prince https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cariou_v.…

just wrote my own version of this :(

[office meeting]:

correct - if the allegations against him are true, there's no claim for defamation

if the claims are true, there's no claim for defamation

not really, considering that in other parts of the book, where the name was changed, it said so in the text as well. speaking as a defamation defense lawyer, it was a mistake to not be more explicit about it. maybe not actionable, but just sloppy. you know, you can be critical of LD once in while. it won't kill…
