Also, have we all forgotten about Carmella Soprano and Father Phil??

...since they spend the other 51 weeks of the year presenting women as athletes and competitors.

Why not stick to that?

Counterpoint- we’re supposed to be grateful to a magazine for deigning to objectify a woman who is closer to average size than most models?

Obviously the point is to get them as close to naked as possible. It’s not like this has to do with swimming.

I always buy my children a little box of chocolates! While the holiday has turned into a romantic love thing, its origins are much broader love-in-general. School children exchange valentines, for goodness’ sake. They aren’t all in love with each other.

Amber Rose’s little boy is sooooo precious. Oh my goodness.

I don’t necessarily see the issue with parents-and-children celebrating Valentine’s Day, but that might be because both of my parents got my sister and I small gifts for it, likely out of divorced-parent-guilt, and I really like getting gifts, okay?

Toth, and it’s a Buffy reference that I made to amuse myself. I am a Brit and to my knowledge it’s not an actual slang term in any way.

I am not a fan of Hillary — but I’ve also never trusted O’Dowd’s criticisms of her.

I imagine those “things she’s said” include pride in her long political record and work for children and women, refusing to renounce her (really quite popular!) time and work as Senator for New York, and likewise her time and work as Secretary of State. And, surely, all of her pronouncements about her qualifications…

EXTRA EXTRA - Maureen Dowd, still a total jerk, rambles slightly new flavors of her same old anti-Clinton dogma.

Bernie has a clear, concise “we” message, even if it’s pie-in-the-sky: The game is rigged and we have to take the country back from the privileged few and make it work for everyone.

The trying to score points against Hillary because her husband cheated on her is really the lowest of the low. You know Maureen Dowd is one of those women with no women friends.

Maureen Dowd continuing to be horrible aside, I really don’t see this sense of “entitlement” from Hillary Clinton. She’s a hard worker with an incredible amount of experience, and it feels like her daring to show up and run for president gets her accused of entitlement. Is there anything that she has actually said…

Eh, except for Paul Krugman. In general he’s fighting the good fight.

Even though the song is not “for” white america, she clearly wants white middle america to pay attention to it, otherwise she would not have performed it at the superbowl. She’s smart. And I’m glad, as a white person who is still concerned about racism in America, to have watched it, and been like “I don’t get it. I…

Poor, poor Clarence Thomas. Who’s he gonna concur with 99.99% of the time now?

Every newsoutlet I’ve read talks about the ‘everything is about us’ part, but my favorite part is by far:

What an amazing way to honour that moment. And to remember.
